Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

Click Here for pics of Gus and Che on our last playdate at Central Market.  :) 

 
Pawpaw and Gus on the tractor.  Gus loved it and is still talking about it this week!

After the tractor ride, we went out to another piece of land and fed the sheep.  Since my parents are moving into town, they are slowly getting rid of them. 

Below is the big tree next to where my Pepa’s [...]

Gus and I are back!  We had a great time in La and I will post some pics soon!  While visiting the family, I had some extra time to read. 
I read Pushed by Jennifer Block in just a few days.  I think every woman should read this book….no matter where you are in your life!  [...]

Gus and I are leaving this morning for La!  :)  I am not looking forward to the drive, but know that we will enjoy our time with family and friends!  :)  I will post pics when we get back.

I baked the herb bread yesterday and it was yummo delicious and turned out perfectly!  I am going to bake at least one more loaf this week.   Here is the recipe.  :) 

Gus has been talking tons about “Rainbow Salad”.  We still watch Signing Time and Rachel, the host, sings a song about a fruit salad with all of the colors of the rainbow.  Here is the dude eating his most requested salad!

We went over to Grandma and Grandpa K’s this weekend.  Gus went outside to play with Grandpa and came back in with a headbandy sweatbandy thing on.  I started having wicked Karate Kid flashbacks.  Any of you 80’s kids see that, too?  :)  :)   I kept telling Gus to say “hi-yaa!”.

This year I called them attempts for the obvious reason.  I would ATTEMPT to do them all.   For myself and the family, this year was about going ‘green’.   
Here are the attempts:
1.  Recycle:  Check. We set up our small recycling bins in the house a few months ago.  I have learned you can recycle almost everything [...]

So, I met Stacy at my dentist’s office.  She is my hygienist and every time I go in we would end up talking for 45 minutes or more.   :)   I loved her from the start.  We decided we would go to lunch like 2 months ago and we finally had a chance this Thursday.   As [...]
