I'd love to help...

when we were at chad's parents house for thanksgiving, the activity of the evening one night was to assemble a new ping-pong table.  Beck was sure to get in on the action and loved being right in the middle, playing with the tools and messing with the table.  yes, he was very helpful and all the other guys were so glad to have him there, reading the instructions and getting the tools.  :)

over thanksgiving weekend we were in Taylor, MO visiting Chad's family there.  while hanging out at his grandparents house, Beckham found the organ and Loved it.  so many fun, colorful buttons to push, levers to play with, And it makes sound?!  yes, the perfect "toy."

pizza goodness

the kitchen is one of my favorite places to spend time, so I decided it would be fun to add some random food posts to the blog - about some of our favorites or new and unique things we try.  one of our favorite/regular items on the menu is homemade pizza.  chad loves it and has converted me to be a pizza lover too (the more unique you can make it the better is my philosophy).  our latest concoction:

"chad's side" is on the left - pesto/ham/tomatoes/parmesan/mozzarella, "heather's side" is on the right - marina/roasted butternut squash/spinach/goat cheese/pine nuts.  this is our typical style - one meat kind, one veggie kind.  and we do eat each other's "sides."  chad admitted that my veggie kind above was pretty tasty and I love any kind of pizza with pesto.

so what's your favorite kind of homemade pizza?  it's always good to get some new ideas.

and after all the toilet paper is off, the roll turns into a great spin toy - double the fun!
