I have been on a cooking kick since we got here. Seth has teased numerous times that he is worried I am secretly pregnant and nesting.  I am not pregnant. I am nesting though.  Last yr I was so big pregnant and uncomfortable that I didn’t feel like I got to really enjoy everything! So, this yr I am soaking up the seasons and having some cooking fun!

I have been using cooking as a much needed outlet from motherhood. I am loving motherhood but sometimes my brain needs to think productively in a different way. My recipes may fail but they most certainly do not talk back or require discipline, therefore I am enjoying the outlet!

The latest new things we have tried are fondue and Panera’s French onion soup!

fondue dippers- mushrooms, bread, potatoes and green apples!

the good stuff! cheese blend, Riesling and garlic. Come on over, we will make you some!

Swiss lost and found…as in you lost it, you find it where you left it.

explorers..pictures don’t do the mountains justice..or our photo-taking doesn’t do them justice, either way you have to see them to get the full grasp on how amazing they are!

Jackson and our neighbor boy riding bikes in our dungeon hallway. We share the bomb shelter and basement hallway so it is a perfect place for the boys to meet up on rainy days!

Jackson with his new buddy Amelia. She and her family are moving down the road from us! Jackson is enjoying getting to know new friends

cuties.

watching  big brother…cracking up. Wouldn’t you if you saw this….

Jackson, all geared up but somehow missing his pants!

“all done” Not a great picture but you get the idea!
