Renn Faire

Me just inside the little gate at Rosies Posies. I am crowned with one of her creations.

Viola ... PIE

Mmmmm crusty bubbly goodness.... Pie also teaches patience. Now I must wait for it to cool and set. Don't want to burn my tongue.



Thats raspberry jam spilled out on to the plate.

Fill the Pie Hole

Every time I watch Pushing Daisies I get a hankering for PIE. See the main character owns a pie shop, The Pie Hole. Cute show with fun style and whimsical sets. But I love pie and always want some...so tonight I hit pause and rummaged through the cabinet.

Amazing enough I remembered we have a jar of peaches and the makings for crust. I pulled out the Osborn's pie crust recipe and based on what my sister taught me I created a wonderful pretty peach and raspberry pie. Every mother should know how to make pie. It is great for any occasion. Warm and comforting in times of sorry. Company to a cup of coffee in a lonely diner. Bright and cheery at a fourth of July party. I could go on and on.

Special ingredients:
Jar of peaches.
Two tablespoons of fresh Raspberry jam (Prepared with love my sister-in-laws mother)
Lots of love.
A dash of pregnancy must have craving.

Here it is just going into the oven.

Rock Hugger!

These are from my day trip to Red Rocks a couple weeks ago.

We are having a little BOY!! Ah yes another little man to add to the family.

That was the best baby appointment so far! To get to see him up on screen for that long was really special. See his strong heart beating and all the right parts in the right places. Sorry for the delay. We had a regular check up on Tuesday. They gave me a form and numbers to call and make an appointment at the imaging center. I about had a meltdown in the middle of the office when they handed me the form and numbers. I thought I was having the detailed ultrasound that day. I even called and confirmed the ultrasound. Anyway the nice doctor gave us the a view with the machine they have in the office. Reasons for all the boowho from the emotional pregnant lady come from the need to tell TJs mother who is in hospice. We want to share as much good news with her as possible.

I guess I need to register for the peepee-teepee! AHAHAHAHA

1/2 way there...

I am exactly 20 weeks today! Belly growing and baby kicking and moving around. There is definitely times where the baby is resting/sleeping and exercising and stretching. I had plenty of energy yesterday but it is catching up with me today.

Sesame went on a boat ride today. Donna (TJ's mom) bought a skimmer boat from an estate sale. After much hub-bub the boat went in the water yesterday. With Uncle Buster's help getting the engine fixed and running, TJ and I set off into Lake Whitehurst. TJs parents backyard backs into the lake. See image of lake. Beautiful and calm out there. A few other boats with fisherman other than that it was geese, turtles, ducks, and FISH!!! Captain TJ is ready to tinker with the new old boat.

TUESDAY ~B or G~

Tuesday is my 20 week ultrasound and hopefully we'll see whether Sesame is a boy or a girl. Please stay tuned!!!!
