I like life. Life likes me. Life and I very fully agree.

This has been kind of a tough week for Corbin. I took him to the doctor yesterday, and he has a sinus infection. Apperently the infection had moved up to his eyes making them nice and goopey. So he is back on amoxicillin (yet again) and he has to take eye drops, which are not so fun. But the medicine is already helping, hopefully he will be back to normal soon.

P.S. Tuesday I went and bought a fake tree on craigslist for $15. It is not pre-lit, but I think it is pretty good looking! We set it up last night. I will post pictures once we decorate it.

Frosted window panes

Well. We made it back to Colorady safe and sound on Sunday night. Clark turned right back around and flew out to San Diego early Monday morning (and i mean early). Corbin and I are just hanging out at home. I am trying to get this place looking less like it was hit by a hurricane, and Corbin is doing his best to make sure it stays looking a mess. My goal is to get the house a little bit cleaned up, and then we can put up all our Christmas decorations! In the mean time, here are some wonderful pictures for your enjoyment. I will post San Diego pictures later.

sleeping

Last night I woke up because Corbin sounded a little funny, and I asked Clark to check on him to make sure that the blanket wasn't covering his face. So, Clark went over and Corbin had rolled over onto his stomach! He was still fast asleep, so Clark rolled him back onto his back. I just can't believe that he rolled onto his stomach, while he was asleep, and completely swaddled!

Corbin has been breathing a little funny lately, so I bought him this humidifier. The steam comes out of the tops of the frog's eyeballs!

Blessings

In church on Sunday, the bishop talked about how we can receive blessings from paying our tithing. The cool thing is that I had already been thinking about how Clark and I have been receiving financial blessings. It seems like every time we start to feel the money crunch, we have gotten a little extra money from somewhere. It actually reminds me of a story about one of my ancestors (at least I think it was an ancestor, hopefully this is not just some story I have heard elsewhere, cuz that would be embarressing. Anyways, I don't remember who it was, and I am going to totally butcher the story). They gave away their last bit of flour to a leader in the church. They were then promised that they and their posterity would never want for food. The next day a neighbor brought over a wagonload of food that they owed the family.
P.S. Don't freak out. Clark and I are far from being down to our last cup of flour :) It is just neat to know that we are being watched over....now if we could only get Corbin to sleep through the night!

Corbin had to take a bath to wash off all the pumpkin guts

Ole!

I found this recipe online yesterday. I was looking for a way to use up some of our flour tortillas before they went bad. This recipe was really good, and it was really easy to make. I highly recommend. I cut the butter in half, and I also added some canned corn to my pizza.


Mexican Tortilla Pizza
Ingredients:
1 can (10 ounces) chunk white chicken in water (drained)
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can refried beans

1/2 cup Monterrey Jack cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
black olives (sliced)

Preheat oven to broil.
Combine chicken, tomatoes and green chiles and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Mix well and set to the side.
In a small saucepan, combine beans with 1 tablespoon butter.
Heat on medium until hot, stirring occassionally.
Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place tortillas on baking sheet.
Broil tortillas one minute per side until crisp.
Remove tortillas from oven.
Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Spread bean mixture on each tortilla
Spoon chicken on top of beans.
Top with both kinds of cheese.
Garnish with black olives, if desired.
Bake five minutes or until cheese is melted.

Crossing to Safety

I participate in my ward's book club, and right now we are reading a book called "Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner. This quote really stuck out to me, and so I thought I would share it, "I believe that most people have some degree of talent for something-forms, colors, words, sounds. Talent lies around in us like kindling waiting for a match..."

I really like that image.

I got in!!!!

I am so excited, I got accepted to be on the panel for an online survey company called Pinecone Research. They are one of the most exclusive/highest quality survey company on the web. They pay $3 for every survey you complete - it used to be $5, but they lowered the price :( It is really hard to get into their company because you can't just sign up on their website. You have to find one of their banners (advertisements), and they can be anywhere online. I finally found one, applied, and they accepted me! This is by no means a huge money-maker. I will probably only get about a survey a week to complete. But it is really easy money, and we can use the money for fun stuff like going out to eat, or whatever. Anyways. I am pretty excited.

It's a dead mans party

What a fun night. We carved a pumpkin, got a present from the Great Pumpkin, took lots of pictures, passed out a little candy, and finally watched spiderman 3.

I think this is a cute shot. Corbin looks so small in his highchair!

I am really happy with how this picture turned out! Chck out the font...it is called Parry Hotter!
