Trying new things!

So I've been a little mia lately and I'm not really sure why, but I think it's a combination of Orlin's crazy work schedule the last couple of weeks and some blah days at home with all the rain we've been having. We ended up skipping Noah's soccer practice on Monday cause I didn't have a sitter and both boys were still napping and I really couldn't justify waking both of them up just for a 45 min practice! I was able to get out Monday night with some girlfriends and watched the finale of the Bachelor which was so nice. It's amazing what one evening with some good girlfriends will do for your soul! I so look forward to my girl time and I can honestly say it makes me a better wife and Mommy! So last night I steamed up some broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoe and Drew loved every bit of it! It's so fun to see him eat new things and learn how to feed himself! He's still loving the Cheerios in the morning and we will continue to try new things. I also made a yummy dinner for Orlin, Noah and I and it was a recipe from the Better Homes and Garden mag I got this month. It was for a Mango Chicken Salad and it turned out pretty good. Both Orlin and Noah enjoyed it. Noah had his second soccer game today and we had a big turn out of family that came to watch. Grandma, Nana, Grandpa, Uncle Ty, and his girlfriend Jaclyn, (Noah's secret crush) were all there to cheer him on! He did pretty good, but also had times when he had decided that he was done playing. As long as he's enjoying it and plays when he feels comfortable I'm ok with it and have decided not to push it anymore. I figure it will come in time and I have to also remind myself that he's only 3! My friend Lacy is coming this afternoon and her and I are off to have some good girl time of shopping and dinner maybe. Orlin took the kiddos over to his parents to visit with them and Uncle Ty and Jaclyn. Noah was a little reluctant to go, but once he knew Jaclyn would be there he was ready to go! So cute! Happy Weekend!
