Mountain Mama Pizzeria

I was over at a friends place a couple weeks ago and she made the BEST homemade pizza.  It had been a while since I made pizza, (dough and all) so the other night my kitchen turned into a pizzeria.  I used this recipe (click here) for a whole wheat thin crust, which turned out great.  As for the toppings, I used a basil pesto for the sauce along with chicken, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese and mozzarella cheese.  All I can say is, "Yum".

Now, I know what you must be thinking..."Ummm... doesn't she have twins?  Why the heck doesn't she just pop a Delissio in the oven and call it good?"  (Well, we do have those on occasion)  But I'll let you in on my little secret....I have really good help.  Not some live-in Nanny or anything, ( although that would be nice) but my handy hubby (to be)...which is really the best kind of help there is. He entertained the boys while I created in the kitchen.  I couldn't have done it without him.  And we both reaped the rewards from our efforts with some ding dang good pizza for dinner.

Bon Appetite!

Go Mode

These boys are on the move and there is no slowing them down.  They're crawling in full force and getting into all kinds of stuff.  It's crazy how fast they went from being non-mobile, to kickin' it into four by four.  Gone are the days where I could just put them down and they'd  be content to play within the perimeter of a little blanket.  These days they're keeping us on our toes; one goes this way the other goes that way. 
With their new found freedom has also come a few little bumps and bonks along the way as they discover what their little bodies are capable of...but they're determined little fellas so a little tumble here or there isn't going to hold them back from trying again.

So much fun watching these guys explore....just wait til they're walking!

Lighter Later

I love that the days are getting longer, the snow is beginning to melt and the grass is peeking through.  The other night after dinner I took the boys out for a nice evening stroll.  It was 7:30pm and still as bright as day.

Hope everyone is enjoying the first signs of spring.

The True Meaning of Teething

From the moment these guys started putting their hands in their mouth, people have been asking if they're teething.  I'm not gonna lie....I had no idea if they were teething or just plain old drooling; until last week when their first tooth finally poked through.  Now I have a better idea of what "teething" is all about.  It explains why they've been waking up so angry and demanding milk several times through the night these past weeks.  Poor little guys, getting new teeth is no fun...for anyone.
 
Their first little tooth is taking some getting used to.  They've started making funny faces and sticking out their tongues as they explore the new feeling of this sharp little thing inside their mouths.

Fernie Folks

Rob's cousin Dan and the family came for a visit last weekend from Fernie B.C.  We had a great time.  The first night they arrived Rob took the boys (Dan and Nesta) to work for a little late night tour of the Nordic Centre, pistenbully style (snow cat).  Tanya and I stayed home with the little ones.  Nesta was pretty excited about the adventure and told us all about it when they got home.

The next day, we had a nice relaxing morning while we enjoyed each others company and a big pancake breakfast.

 Once our bellies were full and everyone was ready to go, we headed out to enjoy some fresh air. 



Follow the leader.  Nesta and Jack.

Happy Spring! :)
