Gymnastics! Trampoline! Stamps!

It's Tuesday!  In our house this means it is gymnastics night!  Oh boy does my little girl LOVE gymnastics!!

 Last year I took Hadley to an open gym at our gymnastics place and she absolutely loved it.  I looked into classes and called to sign her up thinking we could start whenever.  Boy was I wrong.  You guys there was a waiting list!! For gymnastics class for a child who wasn't even two.   Not only was there a waiting list, it took 6 months for us to get a call that she got an open spot!  I was so shocked.  Of course the call came the week we found out that we would be having Brynlee three weeks early, which in itself was unexpected.  I couldn't turn the spot down though and be on a waiting list for another 6 months, so the first class I was 36 week pregnant and the next class we had a baby only a few days old.

If you tell Hadley she has gymnastics she will run around screaming "gymnastics!! trampoline!! stamps!!"  It is adorable! (They get stamps on their feet at the end of class and she is obsessed with them)

Cutest gymnast ever!  

I'll have to get some pictures in the actual class.  It is too adorable!

Last week we didn't have gymnastics because of Halloween.  We didn't dress Brynlee up since she is only 2 months old and we figured it'd be super cold.  Hadley was the cutest little monkey!  I figured she wouldn't like trick-or-treating because she isn't a huge fan of strangers and it takes her a bit to warm up and let her personality shine.  We practiced quite a bit and her grandparents even taught her to say "trick-or-treat smell my feet give me something good to eat!!" The first house she went to she cried when they went to the door.  The second house she did a bit better, but since she had her one piece of candy, she wanted to go home and she didn't want to go back out.  Ha! So she took a bite of her chocolate and then her an Zb handed out candy.

Brynlee and I stayed nice and cozy inside. :)

Breakfast Burritos

Happy Monday!

I have a super busy week due to Parent-Teacher Conferences.  It will be extra exciting because it will be my first time meeting most of the parents since I was on maternity leave when the school year began!  I wanted something quick for breakfast to make our mornings run a bit smoother.  We usually make eggs in the morning which is great, but the clean up takes a lot of time.  My best friend Sam has been telling me about her breakfast burritos that she makes her hubby and I had to try them for myself!  On Sunday we usually make a bigger breakfast so I decided we would make the burritos and I would just make extra to freeze.  AMAZING!  And seriously SO easy.  This batch made enough for breakfast on Sunday, plus 15 burritos to freeze.  Win. Win.



Watching Hadley crack eggs might be one of my favorite things.  It is so funny!





Mommy's little helper! Don't mind my no make up look and our glorious bed head. ;)







My burrito wrapping skills are lacking, but we got the job done!

Okay so here is what I used this time, but the best part about this is that you can totally make it your own and change it up each time you do it for a bit of a variety.

18 eggs
1 bag of hash browns ( I used diced up hash browns)
2 bell peppers
1 pckg of sausage links (because they didn't have ground sausage)
tortilla shells

1. scramble the eggs.
2. cook the hash browns
3. cook the sausage
4. dice up the peppers and throw them in with the hash browns
5. cut up the sausage links and toss them in with the eggs
6. lay out a tortilla and put a scoop of hash browns and a scoop of eggs
7. top with a bit of cheese
8. fold and wrap in tin foil
9. put in a freezer bag and freeze!

This morning I took two out and put then in the microwave for 2 minutes, cut them in half and put them in for an additional two minutes.  DELICIOUS!  and best of all, clean up was a breeze.

Next time I make them I want to try to throw in some more veggies and I am going to try turkey bacon instead of sausage.  :)


On a completely different note - check out my BABES!  Brynlee is on the left and Hadley is on the right.  Both pictures were taken around 2 1/2 months.  I just love looking back at Hadley's pictures from when she was Brynlee's age.  Some pictures they could pass as twins and others I think they look completely different!



Melt my heart!!
