Just Because

Special delivery to me at work today. Flowers and this card  Before we were brave enough to actually say "I LOVE YOU" but both knew we both wanted to. haha

School Starts Again

Three beautiful kids on their first weeks of school.  B's second  year, she loves her school, but so upset that her teacher isn't the same one from last year; and that she doesn't get to stay home with mommy all day anymore like summer.  Poor thing is taking a few weeks to quit crying on the way to school.

But I need you NOW

ha! I received this lovely text message last night from Candis. 

Crockpot Meatballs

This is super easy to make, and doesn't take too long. I normally let it cook for 30 minutes to an hour, so the meat really soaks up the flavor.

Frozen Meatballs
1 jar Chili Sauce
1 jar Grape Jelly

Mix all three together and cook on high in a crockpot.  YUMMO!

Baked Asparagus

I don't even like Asparagus, but it's supposed to be good for you, so why not.

OK, now after you have tried my baked asparagus, you may change your mind and like them, like I did.

These are so great!

I sprinkle them with:
salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash, Garlic Salt, Talwin seasoning, a thin layer of olive oil, a slice of butter.

then I wrap them up tightly in aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Anything less, and it doesn't come out as good. On the picture below, I also baked some Tomatoes and zucchini.

TWINKIES

One day, my crazy brother comes home with this "awesome" button-up weird camo-type pattern. Candis hates it. She makes fun of him and hates him wearing it. She says he looks retarded.  What does he do? He comes home later with a matching one for their son.

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.
