Some Photos

Here are a few photos of the kids, it's been such a long time since I have posted:

The Kids

Ryan is 2 and a half this month and Samantha is 1 and a half, it's amazing that they are getting so big so fast. These are some pics of a drive that we took up to Estes Park it was super fun and we saw some elk.

Justin made dinner for us all tonight and it is my favorite dinner ever! It is beef tenderloin which came out so tender that you can cut it with your fork. He also made roasted asparagus and wild rice which was so fabulous, I have the best husband! The kids liked it too which is always a plus.

Bistro Beef

4 beef tenderloin steaks, cut 3/4" thick
1 Tbls dijon mustard
2 Tbls olive oil
2-4oz crimini mushrooms
1/3C dry red wine or sherry
1 Tbls white wine worchestershire sauce
2 tsp fresh snipped thyme

Spread mustard on both sides of steaks, add half of oil to pan and heat to medium high. Cook steaks on medium, turning once, to desired doneness (7-9 minutes for medium rare). Transfer to a platter.

Add remaining oil to drippings, add mushrooms and cook and stir for 4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to pan and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes, spoon over steaks.

New Puppy Power!!

Hi everybody! Just wanted to let everyone we have a new puppy. his name is Jackson. He is a mini Dachshund. The kids really like him and so do we but we do not like the house breaking. Judah, the little boy that Mallory babysits is afraid of him but is learning to tell him "no".
