Posted by Linny Best November - 28 - 2009 0 Comment

Last night, Dale was craving some Carrabbas and after discovering that there were none in California at all, we decided to recreate his favorite dish…the Chicken Bryan.

INGREDIENTSThese amounts made more than we needed, but it would  [ Read More ]

Dale had to work today at a Kids Fest here in Visalia, so Caedmon and I tagged along to get out of the house for a while… Because there were mascots and charactors roaming around for the kids, naturally, I had to had my baby over to them for a few pictures… Caedmon wasn’t so stoked to meet all the characters… Caedmon tried his hardest to get away from this  [ Read More ]

He Keeps Growing and Growing and Growing…

I can’t believe that Caedmon is almost 14 months old! I keep looking at pictures of that little baby boy who spit up everywhere, slept all the time and always had crazy hair, and it makes this Mommy sad!

Caedmon wasn’t the happiest little elephant thie weekend for his second Halloween…but we still had loads of fun!
