Merry Christmas

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We hope you all have a safe and fun day.

Love, The Dofelmiers

Cradle Cap

I know that this is kind of off the wall but I wanted to let all you moms with kids with cradle cap know I figured out how to get rid of it. Maybe Im the last one to figure it out but I'll just tell you anyway. Both my kids had it bad. I put some vitamin e on it(you could use any cooking oil) but I let it sit for a few minutes then took a little comb and it all came out right away. I didnt even need to scrub his little head or get the comb too close to hurt him. Anyway, I was just excited. I wish I knew how to do this when Allison still had it. Maybe she wouldnt have been bald.

Ok, now who does he look like. We cant tell. 

Here is my sweet little man. 

Aren't they just so sweet? 

Finally, we are able to control her. She was our cute little ladybug at the fall festival. 

Sleeping Beauty. 

Our little Princess. 

Big sister holding brother for the first time. Allison was in the delivery room when Adam was born. 

Adam with Grandma Bonnie 

Well here he is. The newest addition to the Dofelmier family. Our little Adam Joseph.  

Adam is here!!!

Well, our little Adam Joseph is finally here. He arrived at 3:47am on the 15th. He was 7lbs. 5oz. 20 inches. He is beautiful. We had a good delivery. I had to get the gbs iv so when we got to the hospital we had to wait another 4 hours. But if I didn't he probably would have come about an hour after we got there. So after the four hours, I was at about a 9 so they broke my water and when I got to ten which was about no time at all they told me to push and I think 6 contractions later Adam was here. So I will try and put some pictures up this week. Maybe Darren can do it.

No baby yet

Well, its our due date and no baby yet. I am going crazy. Oh well, at least Darren was able to watch his football game today. I will let you all know when it happens.

5 more days

Well, I had a check-up today. I am dilated to 2 and he could feel the head way down so any time we could be holding our little boy. But then again I could be dilated for another week. Who know's. All I know is that this boy is already disobeying his mom by not coming out.

Well here they finally are. I know they arent the best pictures and I am due in about 2 weeks but at least I got some up. Aren't I hot!!!! 

Helloooooooooooooo

I just thought I would update a little. Not much has been going on. I have 1 more month to go until Adam comes. So I am dealing with all of the stuff that comes with the last month of pregnancy in the summer. Allison is 2 1/2 now. She talks all the time. She is into Dora, Charlottes Web, and the Wiggles. She loves to be outside. We have been BBQing alot. We got a great deal on a BBQ so Darren said to let him make dinner as much as I want. No complaints here. I have been trying to do alot of crafts. I made a apron today actually and I have to say it was really cute. I gave it to my mom. It has little embroidered flowers on it with buttons in the middle. I have been trying to make cards. I prayed last night that God would give me craftiness. And not in the way you all are thinking. I want to be one of those people who think of something and then be able to make it. So I will try and get a picture up this weekend.

The last brother married

Well last night was the big night. Kyle and Chelsie got married. It was beautiful and sweet. We are so happy for them. It was a really nice wedding, alot of family and friends. No big disasters. Allison and Emma Mae were adorable. Allison didnt quite make it down the aisle though. She got a quarter of the way and saw that there were alot of people looking at her and started to cry. Its ok though she did good and she looked precious. I dont have any pictures right now but I will try and get some up pretty soon.

I just wanted to add a couple of new pictures. It has been forever since I updated. Here is Allison in her new bathing suit. And her playing tea party with pooh. 

Beginners Bread

I made a loaf of bread this morning. I have tried to make bread before but it just didn't turn out right. But I found a recipe for Beginners bread. I don't know how it was different and why mine turned out but it did. The website I found it on is called Hillbilly Housewife. Go to recipes, then breads, then beginners bread. It was so easy. It didnt really seem time consuming, just waiting for it to rise but you can always do other things while thats happening. I think I want to try Jenni's whole wheat bread after I make this one again.

Caramel Corn

I had a craving for caramel corn last night and found this recipe on The Food Network. It is really easy and you dont need the candy thermometer. It makes 8 quarts, so its alot but would be good for those big families or a party.

Im not sure how much unpopped corn but mine filled about 2 big popcorn bowls full and that was enough. Just measure as you go along.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put the popped corn in a large roasting pan.
1 C. Butter
2 C. Brown sugar
1 t. salt
1/2 C. light corn syrup
1 t. baking soda

Put the first 4 ingredients in a heavy duty sauce pan. Cook on medium until it starts to boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and add the baking soda and stir well. Pour over popped corn and stir well. Bake in oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Then lay on wax paper to cool.

So yummy, my family can't get enough.

Cheaper Gas

I think that we should all move to Guatemala where gas is only 12 cents a gallon. I think its a good idea.

New blogging ideas

Well I have decided to add new things to my blog. I was going to start a new one but I thought it was too confusing. So, lately (I dont know if I am already nesting or what) but I have been wanting to try new foods and cleaning solutions and easier ways to keep the house clean. So Im going to post all my new tricks of the trade. I want to add some recipes that I have also. Maybe this will keep me blogging more. So please check back, and hopefully there will actually be something new.

Its a boy!!!

Well it looks like the new addition will be a little boy. In our ultrasound it was very obvious. He wasnt hiding anything. But then when we wanted to get a picture he had his foot in the way. Oh well we saw it. Anyway, we are very excited. Especially Darren. And Allison says that I have baby boy in my tummy.

Happy Anniversary

Well, today is Darren and my 5 year anniversary. Can you believe it. Makes some of you others feel old huh. I just wanted to tell the world how much I love my husband. He is so wonderful. I am more in love with him today than the friday the 13th we said I do. He is a wonderful father . He loves Allison so much. He wants to provide for us and is good at it. I love him so much and appreciate everything he does for us. He is my best friend. I love you Darren.
P.S. And he still makes me laugh as much as he did 5 years ago.

And this is the one where obviously she is in the sink. And by the way, how do I put all of the pictures on one post. Somebody please help. 

This is the one where she is being sneaky. 

These are some pictures of Allison playing in the sink. One of her favorite things. One of them she is just so innocent, the next one is of her probably getting water all over the floor and me catching her and the next one is of me going around the corner for one second and her getting in the sink. I have no idea how she did it. These are actually two different days, but she has done it more than once. Shes my little monkey. 

Happy birthday to me. These are pictures of Allison on her second birthday. If you look closely at Allison's shirt you can see ABCD. It's supposed to look like ACDC. We thought it was so cute. She had alot of fun. 

I just found this picture of Allison on Christmas. This is the dress I made for her. Jenni, aren't you proud? 

Needing some advice

Ok, when I was pregnant with Allison, I had the perfect 1st trimester. No Morning sickness. But this time is different. This kid is a trouble maker. Nothing sounds good especially when im hungry. What are some things to eat when I feel sick. Please help.

Surprise

Guess What?
