Our Painting

sweet Hailey made this painting, and this note for us.  She presented it to us with a little performance/ act. She's adorable.

Chicken and Rice with baked Zucchini

Ok now that you know how to make delicous baked zucchini, lets add it to a meal.

I grill chicken, seasoning with all the seasoning on the zucchini, and add Zesty Italian Dressing on top of it.

Add it to the George Foreman.

I boil rice.  Mix chicken rice and zucchini together as stir-fry. YUMMMY.

Bake Zucchini and Squash

This year, one of my new favorite foods is baked zucchini and squash. Sometimes I add cheddar cheese, or Parmesan cheese on top of it for extra flavor. 

I always season with:
Salt, Pepper, Mrs. Dash, Garlic Salt, Cheddar Seasoning, and Talwin Seasoning.

I then bake on 400 for 30-40 minutes.  Lesson learned: Put Aluminum foil down first, otherwise the pan is really hard to clean up.  

I want Julie!!

Sweet B got used to hanging out with me recently, so when they drove by my house and saw I wasn't home, she threw this fit.  She just wanted me!!!

She dressed herself

This kid right here. OMG.  Too cute for words.  She is usually very stylish, but today, she decided to let her inner spunk take over when she got dressed. 

BABY SHOWER -crafting is fun

My sweet baby cousin (the youngest of the 11 of us), is pregnant with her first child, a boy.

They like blue, and hunting.  So I made this cute baby blanket for her ... I mean him. :)

I had to post a couple pics from the shower too, just because everything was so cute. 

Her First Fish

We went up to the country for the weekend, and of course the most popular thing to do at this time is hang out at the pond, with fishing poles in our hand.  Just introduced the kids to fishing this year, and they are hooked.  No pun intended.

Brynnlei finally caught her first fish, ever. She ended up out-fishing all of us. The first fish she caught, she almost sorta 'petted' the fish before we threw it back. By the end of the day, not only is she holding it and throwing it back herself like a champ, she's also asking to throw back everyone else's

fish too.
