It is my turn to cook this week and so the dinner prep hour began, as usual. Cai was sitting in his chair being "fed", while I got our dinner together to the sound of his whining for more food. This happens to be his crabbiest time of the day, but he is still SO ADORABLE!!
Our normal dinner crowd: Grandpa, Grandma, Kris, Me, Ryan, Trevor, Anderson and Cai. Tonight we had our dear friends, The Scotts over for dinner. They are on their way to GA today to sign on their new house tomorrow.
Christopher and Kristy love Mexican and so do I, so tonight it was one of my favorite meals! We had Chicken Enchiladas, Touchdown Taco Dip with Tortilla Chips and Cornbread. YUM!!
Followed by Banana Split Dessert - very light and refreshing after all that spice!
Then it was off to bed for Cai - He was extra snuggly tonight as I sang to him and rocked him. It was so sweet! I don't rock him every night, but once in awhile I do and when he allows it, that is just an EXTRA treat. I remind myself to cherish these moments, as he/they will soon be grown up boys and I will miss these moments.
The boys played baseball together outside, after dinner and I'm not sure what happened to that photo, but here is daddy praying with them. He almost always is the one who puts them to bed at night and prays with them. I am very thankful for that - it gives me an opportunity to finish up the day's chores and the reason I am most thankful is that Kris is an awesome pray-er and he loves the Lord, which I am grateful for the example he is to our boys!
Well, Ryan didn't quite go to sleep. He gets to stay up and read most nights. We have to limit him to two chapters, as he would otherwise read an entire book and then not get out of bed in the morning!
The Scotts lived with us for one year and during that time we had an on going Euker Tournament. Once the boys were in bed, we decided that for old times sake we should play another round. I still have our tally sheet hanging in the cupboard. Perhaps I will move it with us someday, although Christopher said that we will have to pick a new card game. Right now the tournament stands Johns- 10 Scott- 5
Well, there you have it. A night in the life of our family - although there weren't any pictures of grandma coming back from ANOTHER trip to the grocery store, or grandpa. Perhaps next time. . .

Good job on dinner--that looks like a great feast! and the full table looks fun. Can you believe our babes will be a year soon???? It cant come slow enough.
I finally set up a user name. I chose my middle name too because there seems to be so many Sarahs around. This is the Sarah in your care group if you are wondering. I really enjoy reading your blog. I am glad that you and the Scotts had a good time together. I look forward to seeing you Wednesday!
Cute pictures Amanda! Your house looks lively and fun!
