Snow Days & CAN I GET A HEALING??!!

It snowed in Spring/Houston Texas! Can we believe it!!?? It was 32 degrees yesterday and snowed for a couple of hours. It's always a special treat to see snow! As you can see it is a little desperate to be excited over, but we did get to make a mini snowman :) I made chicken and dumplin soup AND stayed in my PJs all day! Yea Winter!

Oh -- why the lemon, honey, and tea? I have had allergy/cold sickness for 2 weeks and I am singing a solo in our Christmas Pageant this weekend (3 nights in a row!). Praise the Lord...last night was the first of 3 nights and all went well.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! We made cookies as a family the other night. Fun leaves! The icing turned out a little pastel -- nonetheless they were delicious :) I hope you are enjoying the holiday season!!

Our family wishes you a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope we can all reflect on the blessings in our lives.

Flag Football

I can't even believe I did this!! I was invited to play flag football with the girls from the church I teach preschool...my initial response was NO! After a little harassing from my 50 year old co-teacher, my curiosity got the best of me -- I played. It was pretty fun!! HOWEVER, the second to last play I was rushing the quarterback and was kneed in the thigh by one of her guards. OUCH! I have no bruise on the outside, but that poor muscle must be pretty bruised on the inside because I'm walking like a gimp!

Fall Festival

We had the BEST time at our Fall Festival at our church. They had tons of games, bouncies, face painting, petting zoo, cake walk, food, craft show, and more! After the festival we went to my sister's for my niece's birthday party and then trick or treating. A day FULL of fun!!

Mexican Chicken

I so don't have a picture, but a yummy recipe!!!

4 lg chicken breasts
1 stick margarine
1 tbsp chili powder
1 can cream of mushroom
1 medium bell pepper, diced
2 c grated cheddar cheese
1 can rotel, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1tbsp garlic powder
1 can cream of chicken
1 lg bag tortillia chips

Cook chicken then shred. In 13x9 pan, combine broken chips and melted margarine. Leave 1/2 of the chips in the pan and remove the other 1/2 to use as topping later. Place chicken over chips, then mixture of remaining ingredients. Top with the remaining chips. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

4 Years Old

My angel is 4! I can't believe it. We had a wonderful day at Chuck E. Cheese. He thought it was the best day ever! Friends and family made it special. My friend, Carla, made the cake and we loved it! He got so many generous and sweet gifts. Thank you all for being apart of his big day :)

Pumpkin Patch

I absolutely can't believe it is this time again! I can remember posting these photos last year :) We had fun picking out our pumpkins again...I think we are going to skip the "carving and gutting" of them this year. They are so pretty we will just put them on our front door step WHOLE (Landon didn't think that was the best thing ever anyway)! Happy Harvest :)
