«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 249 Newer› Newest»Too cute and I love that determined look on The Chief's face.
I LOOOOOOVVVVEE the look of the chief...Hey, what about me? Give it to me, my turn, my turn!!
Haven't we all felt that way. ;)
By all means lets lick the spoon and the bowl too.
sounds like a good new years resolution! :)
I ditto that!!
Too cute! I hope the Chief got a lick in too!
I LOVE this pic!!! And look at the little man just DYING to get a lick of that giant spoon :)
The look on his face is priceless. Totally gorgeous photo! And just when I started my new eating plan for 2009. Suddenly I wish I had a spoon to lick too!
Courtney, I accidentally typed in Cjane.blogspot.com again and got the girl in Italy who writes a blog. She said "chief" in her post so, for a minute, I thought You were in Italy. Seriously! Read her blog and see. :)I was so happy for you to be in Italy on a trip. Dang! Cute picture of the kids on your real blog!
Love, Aunt Lisa
Oh boy, that little hand says SO much!
ooo spoon licking is the best :) what were you all making ?
:)
Here, here sister! And happy new year to the most lovable "self-centered" person in the blogosphere!
Happy New Year!
May you have plenty of spoons to lick in 2009 (and share them with your family and the Chief of course,... or someone might think you were self-centred ;)
Love,
Tania
You have a CUTE baby
I second that! Chief wants some too! Happy New Year!
It's about dang time someone said it!!!! I love it- and your little guy is as scrumptious as the cake batter on the spoon (or whatever that is). And by the way, Congratulations on making it through last year in the graceful and beautiful way that you did! Your family is amazing and will forever be dear to my heart!
do you mean what the world needs? you can get rid of this post after you read it, just thought you might want to fix it. i noticed you just posted it (and no, i'm not up in the wee hours of the morning reading your blog--i live in london, england!) take care--all of you.
oh, i love the chief's facial expression! il est adorable!
mirjam
Looks like The Chief is doing his sign (from your last post) for "I'll take that now." Adorable!
The Chief's desperate eyes and attempt at a lunge! Adorable! Wishing yourself, family and friends a peaceful new year.... A miraculous story that restored my faith. Love, love and love!
Oh, the little Chiefy Man looks like he could eat her AND the spoon! That's a look you can't fake!
Mama, you didn't have TWO spoons?
Courtney,
I love the look on Chiefs face. No words needed in this picture...
I love the look on the Chief's face..... he's is very interested in some spoon-licking himself, I think!
I love your blog.
I wish you, the kids, your entire family, everybody you love only the best for the new year.
I am very touched of the things happend to you and your family in the last months. And I am also deeply impressed of how you all stand together and help each other.
I hope from the depths of my heart, that everything will turn into good.
Many greetings from Cologne, Germany.
Michaela
Can I hear an AMEN!
Amen! Too cute!
YUMMY!
You are so selfless! I have three kids - 6, 5 & 2, and I can't bear the thought of letting them lick the spoon yet. (Selfish, I know.) I think it was because I was a third child and had to take turns with MY siblings... When in doubt, blame tihngs on your childhood. It's healthier that way.
And don't worry about childhood obesity. With siblings, she will have to take her turn too. It will be good for her. Give her good writing material later on in life.
You're a SUPERSTAR!
no way! Fist comment?!? I can't resist. And btw I agree about the spoon thing.
Talk about 'a thousand words'! The body language and look on the Chief's face is ADORABLE!!! Jane better enjoy the spoon while she can...in about 15 minutes Chief is gonna be big enough to take it away from her!
Yum, yum!
I only make brownies so I can lick the spoon.
and the chief's face.
priceless.
I am sooo over raw egg. Always have been, always will be.
Lick on, Jane, lick on.
The Chief looks desperate to get his hands on that spoon! Too cute....
agreed
Exactly! That baby of yours is something else.
SOOO true!! Love the picture!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Ahhh, do I detect that little demanding "hand on the arm" action from the Vitamix post?
And speaking of a Vitamix, those Utes sure sliced and diced my boys in Crimson. Congrats!
Amen, spoon licking is the sport of kings and makes everything feel warm and fuzzy. I've also firmly believed that anything left clinging to the spoon is without any calories.
Enjoy
Roxanne
A to the M to the E to the N ! As the Chief patiently waits his turn.
LOVE IT! You are awesome!
I have so enjoyed your blog although finding it through Nie Nie's let's not say tragedy.. how about "big bump in the road"...You are amazing for being so strong and just doing what you do,not sure how many of us have it in us to pick up the pieces as well as you! How anyone could say that you are self centered is beyond me.
Anyway just wanted to say hello and Happy New Year and let you know that you are one in a trillion!! And yes the world needs more spoon lickin'...one spoon at a time!!
I love how the picture captures exactly what you were talking about yesterday...the little hand on the forearm saying "I want some!" Priceless.
Hallelujah! And that's a serious spoon! Happy New Year to you and ALL of yours!
We still lick the spoon, and I occasionally throw out: "No, you can't have that 600 calorie cookie (all calories are posted in NYC), because the childhood obesity rate is too high". I don't think my daughter understands what I am saying...but come on 600 calories in one cookie? I think she weighs 600 calories.
Well put.
Someone looks mighty concerned about the status of that spoon!
Your little guy gets more adorable with every post.
oh yeah baby and that little cheif is still sooooooooo cute! Yikes yum him up for us Courtney!
Donna
ok so the comment section is being weird not letting me post but here we go again......spoons are for licking, with the tongue I mean. Yes some people do use a wooden spoon to lick "what my mother used to call it" but I would highly recommend the fun licking myself! Excuse me...look at that little cheif, pass it over 'cuz! Love it!
Donna
Wow! Look at the eyes on The Chief! He's wanting to lick the spoon so bad!
Look at the chief wanting in on some of that licking action!!! Jane is so cute!!! I love this picture. Talk about some of the cutest kids in the world. Well done Courtney and steph
How adorable is that! Love it!
i agree 100%. BTW your little guys is so stink'n cute!!!
Chief wants some!
Love how your little Chief is reaching for her arm - wanting some. Too cute!
Angie
Amen to that! Looks like The Chief is eagerly awaiting his turn :-)
Rhonda
Possibly the best picture EVAH! Chief's face and arm reaching out are priceless!!! And BTW - I feel you not at all self centered! I absolutely love your blog and adore your sense of humor!!! :)
Amen!!
YUM! That spoon looks good. That cutey the Chief has his eyes on it also. Jane better watch out....next time he might just grab it for himself.
Thats a cute photo.
Have fun eatting whatever that was..brownies?
I agree 110%. And as for the negative nelly's you wrote about below, don't give them a second thought.... YOU are a fabulous mother, sister, wife, daughter, friend, and so much more with a gift for writing that seems to be blessed throughout your family.
LOL!!! I love it! And I agree with you. Mom always let me like the spoon (and the bowl) when I was growing up and I have done the same with my daughters. Good stuff.
Amen. Look at The Chief...just as you described, with that wanting...needing look in his eyes and entire body. Happy New Year!
Can I just say, as a long-time reader/never commenter, that this picture PROVES your lack of self-centeredness?
You're doing an amazing job substitute mothering Nie's kids-you'll find that they'll be especially close to you their entire lives, and that is a blessing. Keep it up-we're all still praying and rooting for you and your family!
Oh-and tell Chup I mean him, too!
I second that motion!! Jane is looking so much older. Enjoy your New Year!!
While I do think that talking of morbid obesity is a necessity, the picture of the Chief longingly staring at Jane's treat is by far the greater message of this post! Love the cuteness of your family beyond description!
OMGoodness...the chief's look is priceless. It's like a lion staring at his prey. HE MUST HAVE THE SPOON!! cute!!
Oh, indeed we do. :)
Meredith in AZ
The Chief is quite intent on figuring out HOW to get that spoon! Love the great picture!
Aww! The Chief really wants a lick:)
Amen!
Little Jane obviously hasn't honed her Chiefton skills yet. I hope she finally shared with him!!! :)
So true.
Oh that look on the Chief's face is just precious! A good pic for a caption competition methinks! t.x
So cute! Both the post and the kids. I love your blog and want to thank you for posting such thoughtful, funny, and interesting posts. I am so glad your sister and her husband are doing better. You and your family are wonderful for stepping up and doing all you have done to keep the kids lives moving along as normally as possible. Not everyone could or would do it.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
P.S. Your baby is adorable. He looks like he wants to snatch that spoon right out of her hand.
Look at how much the Chief wants in on that action! My heart can't take it!
xo
Flicka
I love the pictures! Your photog is great. Nie's kids & The Chief are all so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your families with us!
Amen!
Amen sista!
"Me too! Me too!" begged the Chief.
Look at the Chief, with his little hand on Jane's arm, so intently devouring the spoon with his eyes!
Here here!!!
Licking the spoon is the only reason that I ATTEMPT baking!
Love your blog!
Nicole from Tucson!
The best part of this adorable picture is the little one looking longingly at the spoon. :):)
Sending good thoughts and prayers from Western PA for continued good news from your family.
next picture please, The Chief with that spoon in his mouth. Talk about eat up the baby!!
I bet the baby was salivating....who wouldn't when a chocolate coated spoon is within your reach! Very cute.
looks like she better think about sharing with the Chief, or he'll be doing some damage!
Hillarious look on the chief's face...'gimme some of that goodness N.O.W.! Ha! Great moment capture.
What a wonderful analogy. Bring on the spoons.....
I love your posts, don't ever give it up....
Thanks for your inspiration everyday......
the chief totally wants in on that action. so cute.
scrumptious.... and i don't mean the spoon! :)
TRU DAT!
I love your little guys face. He is practically drooling!!! So cute!! =)
Oh the Chief totally wants that spoon! How cute! Be sure to let him have his own little birthday cake when he turns one. And post the pics of him in the sweet and sticky goodness.
Some people simply don't "get" you cJane. I get it. So keep on being you. You are refreshing. You are inspiring. You are awesome!
Sincerely,
Cindee
Absolutely! The Chief looks like he's about to eat her arm to get to that spoon! :)
I know! I love pictures of my babies licking the spoon. They're a certain satisfaction in their eyes.
Cute pic, and I see the familiar touch of the arm from the Chief!
I love your what the world needs entries. SO true, so true!
Amen sister!
Amen sister!
You said it sista! Darling picture. Look at The Chief! Waiting patiently for a turn, did he get a taste?
And look Chief wanting her to share like Mommy.
So Cute!
I AGREE 100%!!! My mom used to always let us kids lick the spoons and beaters, and sometimes would even make brownie batter and not make the brownies. We'd just all put some batter in a cup and eat it like that. It was delicious! That's a cute picture too. I love how Chief looks like he wants in on some licking too.
So true!! I absolutely LOVE the look that the Chief has on his face as if he's worried he won't get any!! Sooo cute!! Thanks for sharing! Jeanna Caldwell
I hope the Chief got in on the licking action. He looks like he is trying to be be patient, but not sure how long that could last.
AMEN!!!
Poor Chief!!! You can just see his mouth watering. I hope he got a few licks! :)
I love The Chief's look of desire...hilarious!
AMEN.
I am doing the South Beach Diet for the new year (I am only committing to the first two weeks, but supposedly it gets easier), mainly because I need to be healthy. But the licking the spoon now and then? That is bliss.
I've not commented before, but I love your blog, and your photos of your home are inspiring me for the home I am about to buy! :)
Completely unrelated, but not sure you heard. You are in the top 10 Mom Blogs of 2008! Not sure why you aren't #1, but I think it is so great you and your efforts were recognized! Congratulations!!!

Sweetness in so many ways! Those children are beautiful! Couple more inches and it would belong to the Chief! What were you making anyway? It looks gooey and delish!
the chief looks so yummy in this picture! He is your icing to savor! - Julie
Dear Courtney:
The "ME in the center" post has nearly 1,000 comments, most testimonials to how wonderful you, your family, and your blog are. True, true, true. You are as good of a person as one can be on Earth! Don't beat yourself down. And, yes, the poster about being self-centered needs to consider the following.
By definition, Americans are self-centered.
This country was founded on people immigrating for a better life for HIM or HER self. People do not immigrate to America to make their birth country a better place. Immigrating is the most self-centered act one can have. So, unless the comment was made by a person whose ancestors are indigenous to his/her land, this commenter is self-centered too.
By definition, Western Religions are self-centered.
We are working as hard as we can in this life to secure the best place possible for ourselves in the after-life. In some cases we hold promises of being reunited with our families for eternity. Life is our test to see how well we do as INDIVIDUALS to secure our spot in the afterlife. So, unless the poster is not working in this life for eternal happiness in the next, then the poster is self-centered too.
As for this life, "WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS" is more people like you. "WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS" is more families like yours.
So, feel yourself embraced in the new year by the thousands of us who know you are no more self-centered than the rest of us (Christian, non-native Americans, that is).
Happy New Year. Keep on posting. Keep on feeling good about just what you are doing.

Precious! I still Love to Lick the Spoon. jamie
Look at the Chief's hand on her arm, lips slightly open - who wouldn't want to share some food with him?!?
I don't know you, but I really love and admire the family I've gotten to know through your blog.
Have you heard "Out of the Woods" by Nickel Creek? Every time I hear it I think of you all.
Still praying and sending good thoughts your way. If I lived next door, I'd bring you something delicious to share with the Chief and other people!
Every child should be able to enjoy the luxury of licking the spoon.
I believe it was my favorite part of baking when I was that age. =)
I love that the Chief has his "small hand" on her forearm (as mentioned in yesterday's post).
SO cute!
Is Chief drooling? Like Pavlov's response!!! Smart baby to know a good thing when he sees it. :)
Hah! The chief wants a lick, too!
Amen sister.
Very well put....Love it!
BWA HA HA HA!! Perfect!
The Chief is flipping adorable!!!! I would want to eat him up too!
The Chief has to be the most beautiful baby in the world EVER! Seriously, so cute. All your descriptions of his obsession with your food is so endearingly captured in that picture. Priceless. Thank you for making me laugh out loud. **blows kisses** Deborah
I love it! I especially love the look the The Chief's face. "Hey, what about me! Just one little lick!" Too cute!
The Chief is already clear on spoons, eh? Atta Boy!
I LOVE the look on the Chief's face....gimme,gimme,gimme,my turn!!
I love the look on The Chief's face..... I NEED a lick of that chocolate!
Oh that Chief's cuteness cannot be measured. What a doll he is!
I immediately noticed the "small hand on the forearm maneuver" by the Chief. I'll bet he does that to whoever is holding the spatula full of some yummy chocolate icing.
AMEN!!!!
yes. yes it does.
They are both adorable! I LOVE the look on his face...too cute for words. Love your blog, your writing is fantastic!
Look at Chief's face...
He is waiting, begging, for a lick!!
How adorable.
And Jane looks so sweet and happy!

Your baby looks like he wants a lick! On a funny note- my husband walked by as I opened your blog and out of the corner of his eye thought that I was Jane (?) and your baby was our baby. Needless, to say it tripped him out!
The Chief's face = priceless!
Oh my....licking the spoon. Brilliant. I spent quite a few hours licking the spoon with my kids this holiday season leaving me feeling sick and leaving them bouncing off the walls. Funny how that works...
Note the Chief's hand on Jane's arm. Just as you described the other day. Give me some!

Too Cute!
"a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand." ~my life motto :)
Amen!! :-)
True dat!
Hear, Hear! Pass the spoon please. (it looks like those are The Chief's thoughts also)
I totally agree! The Chief is like, "Where's mine??"
Okay, seriously, Chup's face is priceless...he totally wants in on that action. Poor kid, give him the batter spoon already!
I love the look on your baby's face as he's looking at that spoon and with his hand on Claire's arm - so precious.

Here Here! Pass the spoon this way!
I love the chief's expression!!!
Look, there's the "small hand on the forearm" move again. He's good.
Sweet! It Looks like The Chief would like his own spoon! :0)
Cuuuute picture!!!
Where's my spoon?!
xoxox
jenny from KY!
I can't believe i get to post the first comment! How fun! I am never first....at anything! Watch, i bet when i actually go to post this, someone will have beat me to the punch! Anyway, i digress.....that baby is sooooooo yummy. (Mine is about the same age!) Do you let him eat sweets yet? I live in Dallas, Texas...YEHAWW! I've been keeping up with the blogs (you and your sis) for a few months now. Love your candor, love your wit, and your "self-centered-ness"!! If only we all had the courage to be so open and vulnerable, maybe there would be more love in the world, seriously. Anyway, just a shout out to you and your family. If you ever come to Dallas, I will treat you to the best BBQ sandwich you've ever had in your life. Call me...seriously!
Hugs,
K.J from the "Big D"
I remember waiting for that spoon full of goopy dough, hoping no one in our line up of siblings would come along and insist I share!
But...with that look of anticipation, I hope The Chief got in his licks!
Just wanted to let you know that you were blog #8 of 50 for 2008 on momdot.com http://www.momdot.com/topmomblogs/
Congrats!!

a loooong time ago (for you it must feel like an eternity (in a good way, bien sûr) we both got stuck talking at target and i remember telling you the sicker you are during the pregnancy the more beautiful the child it produces. oh well, i am a genius and your babe is proof for my genius.
My kids love licking the spoon. It's a kid moment for sure and should be apart of a child's growing up years!! 'licking the spoon and the bowl-- he he he
jen j qc,az
The spell-checker in me was wondering if the title was supposed to be "what the WORLD needs" rather than the WORD?!!
I love these short segments that you do, they are simple and awesome!
c jane
I find your blatant disregard for the worldwide epidemic of childhood obesity horribly self-centered.
It is really offensive.
Need I remind you yet again about the AAP's policy statement on licking spoons? You might as well take away their bike helmets and throw a trampoline into the mix.....
I know you won't publish this, I just wanted you to know.
p.s. - Thanks for the good times in ID. That Chief is one cute kid.
Absolutely!! I think I'm gonna go make some brownies! Thanks for the motivation and inspiration. And don't worry - both my cuties will get a lick, too!
*I* will pass on the spoon and gobble up the delicious Chief! I threaten to devour my 13 month old grandson every time I see him.
AMEN!!!!! The Chief is cracking me up!
Amen!
Oh my goodness! The Chief just gets cuter every day! And Jane is so cute and funny, as always. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
P.S. What a wonderful gift that Stephanie has been able to come home from rehab! An answer to a million prayers! Praise God! May the new year bring healing and renewal to her and all of your family.
You can stop blogging now. It can't get any cuter....or can it?
haha look at Chief
The hand on the arm! Love it!
Here! Here!
I love that hungry look in the baby's eyes!
I am so with you on that one!
I think Cheif is saying, "What this world needs is one more spoon!"
Now I am craving a spoon or a beater to lick.
Yum! Second day on weight watchers and I need cookie dough!
I agree...
but sometimes most of the batter in the bowl ends up on my spoon.
Amen sista!
Let me take you back to my memories of "licking the spoon"
I first remember baking cookies with my grandma stellenbacher. I got to lick the spoon. then in the first grade i licked some chocolate from off the sidewalk, but that doesn't really count. one time i smelled some roses. Do you prefer kellogs or keebler. I like keebler because they make good cookies, and they donate money to saving the whales. I think green is the best color. what is your favorite color? Mine is blue. 163 comments for 12 words? I would probably say you have a good blog. Do you think I should start a blog? Do you think that I should type the smiley face on this comment?
:)
If you didn't then just ignore it. I like to type the smiley face that looks like he is including you in an inside joke, like this
;)
what is your favorite keyboard smiley face?
And I notice the hand-on-forearm Chief move you described in your previous post ...
word or world? I want chocolate!
oh, my--is that the hand on the forearm you spoke of yesterday? how could anyone resist that!?!?! as for yesterday's post--the fact that ANYONE would make any sort of mean spirited comments toward you makes me sick. keep your chin up and go forward. you're doing great.
It has the be said, the Chief is soooooo cute!
k, i knew your kid was cute, but I didn't realize how cute until this pic. way to go. and sorry that there are people that leave dumb comments on your blog.
The Chief's expression is the cutest! You know he wants some!
Your boy is so ridiculously cute!
If Mormons are not allowed to have caffeine how are they able to have chocolate?
I love Jane's bright smile and Chief's look of longing for the same.
Terrific!
(Oh, and I just voted for a special someone and her sister for Mormon of the Year!)
What the world needs is more C Jane blogs and less negative comments. Cute picture. Enjoy your New Year!
The Chief is getting so big... (don't you hate it when people say that?)
Thanks for the Saturday post. Keep 'em coming! Praying for stephanie and mr. nielson everyday.
I agree!!!!
Great pic, wonder if the worLd might need that a little more too =}
Happy New Year to you and yours, we've been following from down here in S. Texas for some time now.
So cute! By the way, I read your blog yesterday & I think that when people leave ugly comments like that, they are no better than playground bullies. If they don't like it, they can click their mouse on the little x on the top right side of their screen. You are no more self centered than the rest of us are. I dig you! :)
I have never commented before, butI felt like I should about your last post. Why on earth would someone call you self-centered? That is crazy. Here you are, taking care of your sisters kids, trying to get the word out there to raise money for her, finding some joy along the way, and people think you are self centered? That's strange to me. There will alwayse people out there trying to put people down. I think you are amazing, I love to read what you write, and I think a blog is suppose to be about you!
Ok, forget the licking of the spoon. I just want to eat that little baby all up. Seriously.
I have to know; did Jane relent under that beseeching look and share the spoon? Poor little Chief, he was certainly trying to get to that chocolate covered spoon.
Oh somebody give the boy some!
" I was about to retaste again when I was stopped by a small hand on my forearm. The maneuver is one I know well, it reads: The Chief will now have whatever you are having."
Sound familiar? This was from your post yesterday....look at the Chief's hand.....
I read your blog All the time. I think you are lovely and divine. I just returned from vacation and read the last couple of posts; and I hope this helps. (in reference to last post - by the way my kids say this when someone is not so kind)
"People do bad, when they feel bad"
Please realize how much pain one must be in to verbally assault another human. I feel bad for them.
Courtney,
I just read the previous post and I can't believe someone would say that. You are nothing but WONDERFUL and don't you forget it! I have been reading your blog for months but I have never posted. I am 'de-lurking' to let you know how I feel about that poster. YUCK:( By the way, the chief is soooooo cute!
Definitely!
your baby is just delicious! :)
That spoon is undoubtedly the one that stirred Ollie's birthday cake...
and the Chief is saying, "MY TURN"!
You know, raw eggs could kill that baby.
I'm just sayin'.
I believe the chief is thinking hes ready for his own spoon to lick.
so cute :)
Amen to that!
I suddenly have the urge to make something sweet to share the spoon with someone special. I love the Chief's look, I hope he got a taste. :)
how funny is the chief.....an only child that has no idea he is........
