Pizza?? On the Grill???


Thankfully I married a man that can cook! Getting Jeff a new grill for his birthday was perhaps the best gift I've ever gotten... errr... I mean, given! We've had every meal since his birthday on this grill and today we decided to try yet another 'something new'... we made pizzas!
They were way easier than I thought they would be. The prep for them (cutting up all the fixin's) was what took the longest. The Bigs of course chose just sauce, cheese and pepperoni- where Jeff and I had grilled onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes and ham.
The dough was a little sticky and we weren't sure if it would turn out but we figured if it didn't, we could always order take-out. Thankfully not only did they turn out, they were delicious! The Bigs came back for more and Sean LOVED it! I think that Pele' and Cobi were also quite excited by this meal. They didn't quite know where to go because the Bigs wanted to eat at their own table. They played it wise I think... they started out with the Bigs and then realized that Sean was still their favorite. (He drops the most!)

I don't know how good they look but they tasted amazing! Pizza on the grill is the way to go!
The Bigs and Z were also excited because I let them have a 'pop'! I bought these little mini cans for the occasion. Only one person actually drank all of their can, but since they cleared their spots, I wasn't sure who it was. It was also sweet because they prayed before they ate. (I think Cobi and Pele' were praying too... but perhaps they were 'asking' God for something instead of 'thanking' Him...)
Sean loved the grilled pizza!
Pele' thinks that if he looks at the food long enough, maybe somehow it will move over to where he is.
Cobi on the other hand never makes eye contact with the 'eater'. He just watches the food until it (hopefully) makes it's way to his mouth. And yes, I think they got a small taste... they bet right going with Sean...

    Awesome birthday present Laura!! My hubby would be soooo Jealous!! He loves to grill too!! Grilling pizza dough is soooo yummy! As long as you brush the grill with olive oil they grill up beautifully. I know this because I used to be a prep cook at "It's a matter of taste" (when it was still in the little white building) and that's what they used to make their grilled chicken ceaser sandwich wraps.....there's a tip for you, now Jeff can make sandwiches!!! :) Beautiful pictures as usual!! Great memories for the kids too :)

    Those pizzas are beautiful! You just reminded me that I want to make grilled pizza this summer--I keep forgetting. I've had it once, like TEN years ago, and I still remember how yummy it was. We just got a grill this year for the first time, so I can finally make it.

    We had grilled pizza recently too and they were great! Btw, I'm told you can buy the dough from local pizza places and then do the rest yourself. I haven't tried that but it would be very easy and still inexpensive.

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
