Happy Halloween!

Some fun decorations around the house!

Our cute little kitty cat!

(pictures of Guhn are on grandma's camera)

Yummy treats I made for Guhner & Addison's classes.

Hope you all had a GREAT Halloween!

First Grade

Yes, I am serious! Guhner is in first grade! We are so proud of him! He does so good in school and makes friends with everyone! He is in Mrs. Olsen's class, which we were very excited to find out that our cousin

Raven is too!

(Shannon & I both warned her)

Here is to a great first grade year buddy!

We love you!

Toothless!

I have to say Guhner is the cutest toothless kid I have ever seen.

After much waiting and anticipation

he lost his first tooth on July 10.

Just in time for first grade!

It is so cute to see him eat out of the side of his mouth. It is good I think it is cute because the tooth next door is very loose and will most likely be out in the next week or so.

Baby #3

We are very excited! We were waiting to hear the heartbeat before officially announcing it. We were able to hear it at our doctors appointment on Friday. Although most of you have known (once one McCleve finds out it might as well be in the paper) Now you don't have to pretend like you are trying to keep it a secret. The kids are very excited for a new baby! Christine is just over 10 weeks and is due March 1, 2009.

For Michelle

Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad

4 sesame seed hamburger bun tops
1 small red onion, divided
2 plum tomatoes
3/4 lb 95% lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely diced dill pickles
3/4 cups ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
8 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 cup (4oz) shredded cheddar cheese

1. preheat oven to 425. Slice bun tops into 1/4-in strips. Arrange in a single layer on cookie sheet; bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Cool completely.

2. Slice half of the onion crosswise into thin rings. Remove and discard stems from tomatoes; cut tomatoes into quarters lengthwise and slice crosswise. Set onion and tomatoes aside.

3. Cook ground beef over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles. Chop remaining onion half. Finely dice pickles. Combine chopped onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Add cooked ground beef; mix well.

4. To serve, Arrange lettuce on large serving platter. Spoon beef mixture over lettuce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and sliced onion. Arrange hamburger bun croutons around edge of platter. Serve immediately.

This is a pampered Chef recipe ... it says it serves 6 but I think is serves more. Super yummy and easy and great for summer!

The Poops

Watch out Addie Mae has the poops ..... poor girl! She was up every 15 to 20 minutes last night until about 4:30 .... of coarse she is super dehydrated but doesn't want to drink (have you tasted the pedialyte drinks? ... they are nasty ... no wonder she doesn't want to drink it) .... she is still passed out on the coach ... she has an appointment at 11 so hopefully they will be able to give her something ... here is hoping that none of your kiddos get this "bug"

Summer Fun!

So it is FINALLY summer for us! Guhn's last day of school was not until June 18th! I know!!!! The kids and I have already gone up to grandma perkins and everyday I hear "can we go to grandmas to go swimming" Of coarse .... it is so stinkin hot .... what else could we do!?!
