My famous Mom and Dad

They are in a calendar, how cool is that? Don't worry they have their clothes on!!!!!! The village decided to do a recipe calendar and they submitted one and it got picked! Their month is March and the recipe is Italian Beef. And I know first hand that it is YUMMY!!!!

So now I bet you want the recipe!?

3 lbs Roast * 1 T italian seasoning

4 cups water * 1 T worcestershire sauce

1 tsp salt * 1/2 T garlic powder

1 tsp pepper * 1/2 T onion salt

1/2 tsp seasoned salt* sub sandwich buns

Combine all ingredients in crockpot. It needs to cook for at least 8 hours... but the longer it cooks the better! When you are ready, shred beef with 2 forks, put on buns and Enjoy!!!

Hannah, our angel

Did you think I wouldn't do a post for my baby girl? Hannah Elizabeth was stillborn on July 4, 2007. She was perfect, but only 22 weeks along. She didn't have a chance. It was probably the hardest thing we have ever been through. But our little angel has made us stronger. Mommy and Daddy are always going to miss her.

An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. Then whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth."

Some poems for our angel

A tiny heart stopped beating Little hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the Best. Leaves and flowers may wither, The golden sun may set. But the hearts that love you dearly Are the ones that won't forget.

To the Child of My Heart

O precious, tiny sweet little one You will always be to me So perfect, pure and innocent Just as you were meant to be. We dreamed of you and of your life And all that it would be We waited and longed for you to come and join our family. We never had the chance to play. To laugh, to rock, to wiggle We long to hold you, touch you And to listen to you giggle.

I'll always be your mother, He'll always be your dad. You will always be our child, the child that we had. But now you're gone . . . but yet you're here. You are our sorrow and our joy, there's love in every tear. Just know our love goes deep and strong.

We'll forget you never. The child we had, but never had, and yet will have forever.

Peanut

Well here is the star of the show. Peanut!!
I know... but she is my baby for now! So now you can see all the crazy things she does when she is being nice and not biting people! She obviously loves boxes!

Too bad she is too big for most of the pop boxes now. She has even tried to go tailgating with us! Do you think she really likes the Illini? I don't think so!!!

How about we get this going....

Ok, so after much time of this just being a blank blog, I have decided to finally get it up and running! Then everyone can keep up with our boring lives much easier. I hope you all enjoy!
