Happy 20th Birthday to my baby girl!

Today is Sarah's 20th Birthday. I can't believe it! Wow do I feel old:( She did not want a cake since we had so much cake allready for Joey's birthday.She said she wanted chocolate covered strawberries, and that is what she got, plus money, you know money is always good too!

Happy Birthday to my little Valentine

My little guy turned "5" today. We BBQed and got him a bounce house. He and his cousins and friends had a blast. The theme was spongebob, of course, he is into spongebob now. They dropped it off early, 11am and picked it up at 7pm. That is 8 hours of jumping...WOW!!!! The kids were sooo ready to settle down, and he didn't raise a fuss when they came to get it. They were too pooped to pop. All that matters is that he had a good time, and boy did he!!! He has such good manners too, he says "Thank you mom for such a good party...you are the best!" I wanted to cry. I'm pretty sure he said the same to daddy. He is very good at being thankful.

Poor ignored blog :(

I do have to apologize for ignoring my blog once again. My little sis has been put on bed rest and had to spend the night in the hospital. She went into labor and thank goodness they were able to stop it. They gave her 2 shots of a steroid to speed the process of the babys lung developement, just in case of early delivery. She had to quit both her jobs for now, and concentrate on keeping the baby in the belly (that's how I say it) So far so good. I have been very busy and very tired from my busy days, but my little sis is totally worth it. Anything I can do to keep that baby in until at least 36 weeks. We are approaching on 34 weeks this Tuesday. Two more to go....Keep our fingers crossed!!!

Making Enchiladas

Yummy Green Enchiladas, one of my families faves. So easy to make and not much cooking involved. Mix the sauce,chop the onion, shred the cheese, and cook the tortilla. That's it!!!!You stack them like pancakes. Here are some pics...Lots of pics! First, you take the soup and chilis, and blend them in the blender. Warm the blended mix in a sauce pan. Chop your onion(optional) and grate your cheese, and set aside. Once your sauce is warmed, you can cook your tortillas. Use a ladel or big spoon, and put some sauce on your plate, then a bit of cheese and onion, then a cooked tortilla. Repeat. Sauce, cheese, onion, tortilla. I usually will stack 4 tortillas, and that's it....They are yummy and filling. You can add jalepenos in the blender if you want them spicy. Hope you enjoy! One thing, The big can of chilis and the family size can of soup, feeds my family of 4. I would use 2 cans of each if you need to feed more than that. Rice, beans and a salad top off the meal.

Haven't posted for a bit...Sorry!!

I have been a little busy the last ten days or so...With the weather off and on, school,helping my sis, trying to catch up on my other blog, I think it is safe to say that I have completely overdid it this time. Oh well,tomorrow is another day!!! My little sis had her DR. appt. this week, and her father-in-law had open heart surgery (everything went well). The doc says everything looks fine, but she does have gestational diabetes. They are getting a nutrishionist, and go from there. Other news...My son has lost his second tooth, and is so very proud!!He says he can't wait to lose all of them...OK slow down there little guy. Don't grow up too fast. My other blog is up to date...Check it out on my blog list..Days of our lives...

Around the block we go!

We are feeling better today, after getting over a cold. It has been icky for the last few days, so we have been inside. Today the sun shined for just a bit, and we took advantage of it. Joey wanted to ride his new bike he got from sissy for Christmas around the block. I could hardly keep up with him.We went around two times, and will hopefully build it up to 5 soon. If so I think that would be a mile a day. Gotta keep to my goal. As soon as we got out of our gate, he was ready to race and shot around our corner. Our house is like a big "L" and it sits on two lots, so as he went around the corner to the front of our house I was already running. This little boy keeps me on my toes!

                                                          Ready, Set, Go!

                                                    He takes off like a bullet
                                                        

                                                     I'm speeding mommy!

                                                    Mommy is left in the dust!

New Year...New Blog

I think I may be a little crazy to add more work for myself...But anyway. I have started a journal blog. Nothing spectacular, just a little writing of my day. I'm thinking this may also help me with remembering certain things, you know as we get older, our memories start to go. I need all the help I can get. There probably will not be many pictures, that will be on my original blog, but there will be daily writings. Wish me luck!!!
