Fidget, a 10 week old male red and white border collie : ) We've had for just over a week now and have enjoyed every minute of it. Don't get me wrong, he is a lot of work. He has to be let out about twice a night to go the bathroom and he wants to chew on everything but that is to be expected. Here are just a few pictures of Fidget.<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Ey_nXPMZZIEbAKAtlu0MDt1HVanfkNp7opYqksJsVfHB5t0VEZUfAd7HmWOYaagmVusYA2Q8gPat0nuK0VtR6HXnQxz-j2_LuLf9ASonhqO1iTq7CCiDoNu0sqKF4q1-iLBjTQwNtlUI/s1600/IMG_0305.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Ey_nXPMZZIEbAKAtlu0MDt1HVanfkNp7opYqksJsVfHB5t0VEZUfAd7HmWOYaagmVusYA2Q8gPat0nuK0VtR6HXnQxz-j2_LuLf9ASonhqO1iTq7CCiDoNu0sqKF4q1-iLBjTQwNtlUI/s400/IMG_0305.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672695308318020434" border="0" /></a>Fidget pretty much picked us out instead of us picking him out of the litter.

I can't wait to find out what kind of dog he grows into. Right now we are working on teaching him to "come", "sit", and "drop". After that maybe will be able to teach him some more complicated tricks. For now, we will work on the basics.<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjxMB2j91mxkkd1RNueQZb-bGnEkhvSIl_dLL6zrnd9JgVGHKmeaNcaq1yzB0Zcl9gCn2XIcJhx_i8IXsPpz7OqVyAm92TrOFv9A8nXAaZdKhgeaF8KcpDPWH50nYC2-6IfB2rSaeUz1IH/s1600/IMG_0313.JPG"><br /></a>The Chick Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447621571709729240noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114520188405993338.post-2667994456543009602011-09-13T13:35:00.006-04:002011-09-13T14:17:09.706-04:00I'm In The Mood For Fall<div style="text-align: center;">I am super ready for Fall!!! So ready for fall that I went ahead and sewed Navie her fall dress.

We are in the process of buying our first home. 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath, basement, and garage. We got it for a great price and will be paying less then the rent we pay now. Closing date is set for August 23rd and I can't wait to move in. It is a small town house but I can live with that knowing that it is ours : ). We will have to finish off the basement so we can have more room but that will be fun for us to do. Cris is really excited about getting his hands on the basement. It will be a really nice TV room when he is all done. I will have more pictures to post when we actually move in : )The Chick Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447621571709729240noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114520188405993338.post-83615027215286639072011-05-06T16:52:00.006-04:002011-05-06T17:49:36.992-04:00Lord, Give Me Strength<div style="text-align: center;">Things have been really stressful for me lately. We have been trying to get pregnant for the last 6 or 7 months without any success. Well, we were finally successful! However, I had miscarriage about 2 weeks ago. It has had a toll on me and I haven't been handling the stress very well. We have decided to take a little brake before trying again. I don't know how long the brake will be but for now I'm not going to even think about it.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIIoA9Y9jwuq3DMMDeX-NxGgpfb_8mMBHiw2ZQMXp8OFbCaeUnSJw09tMkgZi8i5pc52T3lRoTCXy6_r8uSDaO_cvW-AnlYRumYt1nQgTVPgkdU0JD5iUqb3rtp7BVANZUPfvOGlivGJfI/s1600/yoga.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIIoA9Y9jwuq3DMMDeX-NxGgpfb_8mMBHiw2ZQMXp8OFbCaeUnSJw09tMkgZi8i5pc52T3lRoTCXy6_r8uSDaO_cvW-AnlYRumYt1nQgTVPgkdU0JD5iUqb3rtp7BVANZUPfvOGlivGJfI/s400/yoga.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603708888790337250" border="0" /></a><br />So to help with the stress I have started going to yoga class at our church. We have classes twice a week and I really enjoy them. I have NO coordination or balance at all and I'm not flexible but its still fun and relaxing for me. I now have my own yoga mat and made a bag to carry it in. All the ladies at the yoga class loved the bag I made and are asking me when I'm going to make some to sell : ).<br /><br />It's amazing how the Lord blesses us in our times of need. I'm grateful for my visiting teacher who felt the need to drop by the day after my miscarriage, I'm grateful for the primary president I work with who noticed I was stressed and invited me to yoga class, I'm grateful for my friends who have given my support, I'm grateful for my family who have stood by me, but most importantly I'm grateful for the strength the Lord has given me. Now I just need the physical strength for yoga : )<br /></div>The Chick Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447621571709729240noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114520188405993338.post-82942668805845027512011-04-04T16:06:00.002-04:002011-04-04T16:19:09.358-04:00Bags, Bags, Bags<div style="text-align: center;">So I have been living bags for the last week.

I have finally figured out the measurement for a small and medium sized bag. I LOVE the larger bags but I think the smaller ones are so cute.

I'm now selling handmade rag quilt diaper bags, wipe holders, hand bags, totes, nursing covers, and quilts. I have created another blog, "<a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://chicchickbags.blogspot.com/">chicchickbags.blogspot.com</a>" and an Etsy.com store to sell all the bags and extras I have made. Everyone should check it out. I have been contacted by a florist/gift shop and they want to sell some of my bags on consignment so I have been busy sewing bags for them. I haven't been able to put a lot on the Etsy store yet but I hope that in the next week or so I will have a bunch of stuff on it. I am having a lot of fun making these bags.<br /><br />I think I have finally found me niche. As a stay at home, I have been looking for some kind of hobby to keep me busy. Dont' get me wrong, I'm very busy taking care of Navie (and I wouldn't want it any other way) but I need to do something for myself too. Chic Chick Bags is that thing for me. I love the bags because they are completely reversible and are custom made to each person! All I need to know is what colors you want and patterns (floral, geometric, polka dots, etc.) that you like and I will make a bag to fit your likes. So please check out the new blog and etsy store.<br /></div>The Chick Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447621571709729240noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114520188405993338.post-87362848389736365432011-03-19T08:58:00.004-04:002011-03-19T09:15:38.599-04:00Spring!!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Tomorrow spring is officially here!!!! I'm so excited about having nice weather again. Yesterday we had unseasonably warm weather and it got up to 77*. It felt extremely good to get out of the house and play in the yard.

I haven't been to the farm show since before we got married so this was a real treat from me. What made it even more special was that we were able to take Navie. It was a great trip for all of us.<br />At first it was a little crazy because we had to park on offsite parking and get shuttled over. Normally that wouldn't be bad, but it was freezing out and waiting for a bus in the cold isn't that fun. We decided to get food first when we got over there and of course the food court was PACKED. The food made was great though. I loved getting the cheese cubes!!! I wish I could make them at home!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOqRj-zIFhz90ImwWbUdXzzBD_pJOTwKXKbYk9Je8V16BBEOEv3c9AB0jNA7FiOUEKki0Ww-oY8BWW13BYlFZ9T8S-kl8vVHPfV4e7ceTE6jA7jGmMkfezwjt0hUOW7noqcwh4MwPhpxa/s1600/100_6261.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOqRj-zIFhz90ImwWbUdXzzBD_pJOTwKXKbYk9Je8V16BBEOEv3c9AB0jNA7FiOUEKki0Ww-oY8BWW13BYlFZ9T8S-kl8vVHPfV4e7ceTE6jA7jGmMkfezwjt0hUOW7noqcwh4MwPhpxa/s400/100_6261.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562410570319182146" border="0" /></a>Navie did a fantastic job with all the animals.

We were able to teach her that milk comes from cows and she could really understand what we telling her.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">There were a lot of teaches opportunities for us.

It was also Stake Conference weekend so we were able to be out and enjoy the weather. After Conference the whole Chick family always picnics together. Its a nice way to spend the afternoon with family and the cousins get to run around and play. Navie loves to play with Heather and Will. It means a lot to me for Navie to grow up with her cousins because I grew up pretty close to mine. I just wish we lived closer to Steve and Holly so Navie and Caprie could grow up together too.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZS38Ju-8Dmi8cVQm8naou2OBDb5mGtVn86XAAZtwbKZK5_pnRT1CZaiqzkfxB6017f6Rq2XOH-bmzopap-7eQPTGkJnt7MlZ0oZaRGG_-sLKsoxWVbYx0OQKE-cP3bdeLoHV-5-R-gZB/s1600/000_0239.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZS38Ju-8Dmi8cVQm8naou2OBDb5mGtVn86XAAZtwbKZK5_pnRT1CZaiqzkfxB6017f6Rq2XOH-bmzopap-7eQPTGkJnt7MlZ0oZaRGG_-sLKsoxWVbYx0OQKE-cP3bdeLoHV-5-R-gZB/s400/000_0239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529161601969774466" border="0" /></a>Again, it was a beautiful day, a little windy, but still beautiful.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZS38Ju-8Dmi8cVQm8naou2OBDb5mGtVn86XAAZtwbKZK5_pnRT1CZaiqzkfxB6017f6Rq2XOH-bmzopap-7eQPTGkJnt7MlZ0oZaRGG_-sLKsoxWVbYx0OQKE-cP3bdeLoHV-5-R-gZB/s1600/000_0239.JPG"><span><span></span></span><span><span></span></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6VG2oCJ9ku8fI1shBPcRXIeX7gV_lWYrcfy2-bbe2g5AkNBaqKeSA97-VW0gDU6XCk0cPFLNFJWdbYIT2PUaw1sJoiv_sZzITrcxoDch0ycJrAJ-d5heIDdmkbaSdTTpJAycpyqg2K1I/s1600/000_0250.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6VG2oCJ9ku8fI1shBPcRXIeX7gV_lWYrcfy2-bbe2g5AkNBaqKeSA97-VW0gDU6XCk0cPFLNFJWdbYIT2PUaw1sJoiv_sZzITrcxoDch0ycJrAJ-d5heIDdmkbaSdTTpJAycpyqg2K1I/s400/000_0250.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529162263960397026" border="0" /></a>The last time we had a picture of all the Chicks together was at our wedding.

Navie LOVES the Wiggles so we had to make sure we went to see them. For those who don't know who the Wiggles are, they are a children's music group from Australia. They like to sing and dance to different songs, some of them they wrote and some are twinkle twinkle little star and the Itzy Bitzy spider. The concert was so much fun! It was really nice to see Navie happy and enjoying the concert. I know she won't remember it but I will : ) This was our birthday present to her this year.

Sam (yellow wiggle) is sort of the leader, Murry (red wiggle) plays all sorts of guitars, and Anthony (blue wiggle) loves food.

It was nothing like the one Hershey used to do years ago but it was still a big deal for our simple area : ) Of course Navie was afraid of EVERYTHING! I think with all the people around and the size of all the balloons was just a little much for her. She sat in her wagon with her hands over her eyes. Poor little thing. Cris took a few videos on his iphone and she even had a hard time watching those at home. Overall it was a great night. The weather was nice and the rain held off.

In a large bowl, mix milk, remaining 2/3 Cup sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs; stir well and add yeast mixture. Add half the flour and beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour until dough is slightly stiff (dough will be sticky). Turn out onto a well-floured board; knead 5-10 minutes. Place in well-buttered glass or plastic bowl, cover and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 1-1 1/2 hours. When doubled, punch down dough and let rest 5 min.

Cut into 12-15 slices. Coat bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan and a 8 inch square pan with remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Navie will not eat any vegetables other than peas, and this cook book teaches you how to puree veggies and put them into different recipes without anyone knowing : ).<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiONCbtiAON4t590vi8n0tRXuovEqG2YVMOe2ZmoIVvRvHETEZNpP2L3ULX7XR6vE5y3r28ppQK1Z3cwz0LZ4D5QUOPWgr8lVVAtmEe2_Lf2kwLoS9Z-Oyb9bwHo8DSyXPyprMO08t1N2JW/s1600/100_5174.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiONCbtiAON4t590vi8n0tRXuovEqG2YVMOe2ZmoIVvRvHETEZNpP2L3ULX7XR6vE5y3r28ppQK1Z3cwz0LZ4D5QUOPWgr8lVVAtmEe2_Lf2kwLoS9Z-Oyb9bwHo8DSyXPyprMO08t1N2JW/s400/100_5174.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492347904524586066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmSjwtEhDqRSkXUBa7mCffk_7yl8g1fbsqg2mww10MK35DlKo7-W7amDkZr0iKyyjgaguRjPZntPIXosqDPZ6819jNDm2Xo7WXzOVHEbarBw0UsHy8jjlNUeoLIM34w_WDrDifO7RKTO3O/s1600/100_5174.JPG"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;">So far I have made cauliflower, broccoli, and butternut squash puree. I can't wait to try out some of the recipes that calls for them. I still need to make spinach, carrot, and sweet potato puree. There is a really yummy looking recipe for brownies that calls for carrot and spinach : )<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13VlEEEw8nu7gX8IGeQPbUET4ZCQs2_aVM8zYHlW-WpBNTD4orsIp3yjWXFvQ6oIXhj7pk4CscQ39WGaY1TrFh8S0TEPQzAnIwGZc0z9Gkaa21udpYihIPaJVNH-oUqfCqrTQLbLHLjai/s1600/100_5170.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13VlEEEw8nu7gX8IGeQPbUET4ZCQs2_aVM8zYHlW-WpBNTD4orsIp3yjWXFvQ6oIXhj7pk4CscQ39WGaY1TrFh8S0TEPQzAnIwGZc0z9Gkaa21udpYihIPaJVNH-oUqfCqrTQLbLHLjai/s400/100_5170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492347502700228946" border="0" /></a>All of these purees came from 1 butternut squash, 1 head of cauliflower, and 2 broccoli crowns. I divided them into 1/2 cup portions since most of the recipes only call for a 1/2 cup of puree. And an added bonus is that since I will be in the habit of making different purees, I will be able to use some as baby food too when the next baby is born (no I'm not pregnant). They freeze great.<br /><br />So seriously, if anyone else has the same problem getting the kids/hubby/yourself to eat veggies than you should take a peak at this book. I haven't actually made any of the recipes yet but have two of them on the meal menu for this week. I'll let you all know how they turn out.<br /></div>The Chick Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00447621571709729240noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114520188405993338.post-71379342162908495352010-06-23T10:16:00.002-04:002010-06-23T10:21:55.634-04:00Walking in Mommy's Shoes<div style="text-align: center;">Navie decided to put on my shoes (even getting them on the right feet) and walk around the living room.
