Snip snip
Jake got his first haircut today! He has kind of an odd hairline and it was driving me nuts, so I cut it. most of you probably can't tell much of a difference, but I think it looks much better!

Fun in Oregon
Hey everyone,
We had so much fun in Oregon! it was nice for the boys to see Grandma and Grandpa again.
Jake decided to grow up while we were there; his two bottom teeth grew in (so cute) and he started crawling really fast.

Quick and easy Meatloaf
it isn't difficult, but it sure is tastey!
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small pkg stove top chicken stuffing mix
1/2 C. water
1/2 C. bullseye BBQ sauce
Mix beef with stuffing mix, water and 1/4 C. BBQ sauce (with hands) in a bowl. form into the shape of a log (don't laugh) and put it in a small baking dish. top with remaining BBQ sauce and put in oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Obvously, you can mix in any BBQ sauce you like, but Bullseye gives it a nice bold, tangy flavor I like.
