Welcome Back Lisa Martin!

Here are our most recent family photos. Landon is days away from being two in these photos, and Claire is 3 weeks old. End of April and beginning of May is a busy birthday time in our family! My husband, Zach, works for Bend Research as a Chemist.

I am really eager for Claire to stretch out her nights a bit! We had a five hour stretch last night that felt like heaven, let's hope it continues!

Here is a link to our wedding pictures. Some of you may have seen most of these on Facebook already, but I know not everyone does Facebook, so here you go! It was such a beautiful day. Thank you to everyone who was a part of it!

How Carrie W and Arden spent their Saturday

Carrie and I spent our Saturday helping the community of Alburnett, IA build a playground. It was a joint effort between Humana and Kaboom. Here is the video that shows how a playground can be built in less than a day...enjoy!

She's Baaaaaack!

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that I am easing back into my job and am back!

My 44 days in the hospital FLEW by, the nurses from all over would come to see me with my office set up in my hospital room! It worked!! I am still sore from my c-section, but each day seems to be better! It will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I gained 48 lbs with them, and have lost all but 7lbs (believe me, I have done nothing to help it off). I am just flabbergasted!

The girls are growing like weeds and are now both just over 7.5 lbs. They are full term as of today! Yay! We are still stuck house bound for about another month, which has been a bit tough, especially after being held captive in the hospital! Soon enough we will be out and about!

The attached picture I think is so silly! Stella is on the left, Audrey on the right. Audrey's face just cracks me up!

So, with all that said, I am back, and taking back many of the tasks I shared with others! I am back doing payments, and my CFO duties, as well as the provider list!

Note:  This is how I felt when I found out she was back....

Then it felt like this....

Because Natalie loves us

So Natalie emailed me a yummy looking recipe to put on the blog and I thought it was just SO cute that I copied it word for word from her email.... I hope you catch the cute part (I could just be crazy, it's happened before)


5 to 6 lbs pork roast
1 can Dr Pepper
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp red pepper

put roast in crock pot.

mix all ingredients and pour over roast. Cook on high 3 to 4 hours, then cook on low 3 to 4 more hours.

I usually cook the roast the day before then shred and put the sauce on and cook on low 4 to 5 hours the day I am going to serve it.

Mom

yeah, we see what's happening here

Oh suuuuuuure, they tried to make us think it was just Pamela who got all pampered.  We see what's

actually happening.  ten bucks says they took their laptops and "worked" while getting mani/pedi's. 

HEY!  That's not a bad idea!!  ;)

How Pamela spends her days

LUCKY!!!!



Do ya feel lucky?! Well do ya..... punk!!?

I feel very lucky to work for such a great company and to work from home! But these people are REALLY lucky. See attached clip to watch in your free time. The VOB inbox is empty (yeah, not so much now) so I figured now is as good a time as ever.
