king ranch chicken

Does anybody have a good recipe for King Ranch Chicken? I've tried one off the internet and it wasn't that great. Thanks!

work

Well, I haven't posted in a while because I've actually had to work a lot this week!!...I guess I should say I had to leave the house and work! Don't want to offend my fellow stay-at-home moms! After tomorrow night I will have worked 20 hours this week. I know that sounds pretty weak to some of you who put in 40, but those 20 hours kicked my butt! I was worn out when I would get home...and as of now I've only put in 15 hrs! Most of you know that in the summer I was working up at church for 2 1/2 hrs a week...yes, that was 2 1/2 hrs...not much, I know. This week they have had MDO meetings and wanted me to work when I could. I got a little annoyed with my 'boss' because she would tell me that we would be done at 1:30 and then when I would get there I'd find out we were actually done at 3!!!!! I had gotten there at 8 and Andrew was with me. I was HIGHLY ticked off! I wouldn't care if Andrew wasn't with me, but when Matt's not home he is and he does NOT take naps up there. Anyway, there is more to that whole story and I just don't feel like getting into it. I won't have to do it again and starting next week I'm going to be working 2 days a week for a total of 5 hrs...go me!...bringing home the bacon!! :) I really only wanted to do one day, but they are in desperate need of help. I told her I would do it a couple of months but that's it! Of course Bible studies only last 12 weeks. That's all for now!

bathtime fun

We got our camera tonight and Matt had fun playing with it...

How can I tell that face no?

What a happy boy! (well, he has his moments!)

The green monster!

i lied

Well, I said I wasn't going to post...and here I am!...

After reading Deborah and Jill's comments... I figured I would post this picture of Andrew. I was going to just email it to my sister (since she bought him the dog) but figured I would share it here too. Andrew has been so into this dog lately. He loves it and I find it quite amusing. I really thought he was a little young to be attached to something like a stuffed animal. He takes this dog to bed, the store and all over the house. I'm hoping he will start saying dog since every time he has it I say...DOG! Who knows. I'm sure next week he'll be on to something esle!
That's about it from here. This stinky picture is from my camera phone. Matt sold our camera on Ebay to get a better one! He just got home so I better run...I was supposed to straighten up the house before he got home so it looked like I did something besides blogging!!!

sorry

Due to NOTHING going on...there will be no updates for today..or tomorrow...or maybe EVER!

back to reality

Well, we made it back from Gulf Shores safe and sound! Thought I would share some pictures from our trip....Here's Andrew ready to go to the beach! I really think he enjoyed the beach. He wouldn't stay out there too long...maybe an hour. All he wanted to do was walk up and down the beach. I didn't mind because I love walking the beach. It was funny to watch him...he would just stare at the sand and go for miles down the beach. We got him in the water a little and he thought it was quite funny when the waves would come crashing on him.


Daddy and Andrew playing in the waves.


Getting a decent family picture with Andrew these days just isn't going to happen!


Josh and Jill came in Wednesday night to spend the rest of the week with us. We had fun with them and they did a great job spoiling Andrew!! :)


On our way home we went through Hammond to see John, Amy and Sadie! It was GREAT seeing them!! We haven't seen them since our wedding. I had better pictures of Amy and Sadie, but I deleted them before I was able to save them...not sure exactly how I managed that!! Anyway, it was great to see them and Sadie is such a sweetie!! I was so impressed with how well she is talking!

Guess that sums up our trip! Big Brother's on so I need to run!

on the road again

Yep, we are about to hit the beach!!! I'm SO EXCITED!!! Can you tell?? :) I LOVE the beach!!! We are going to Gulf Shores...it's no Cayman Island, but it will do. There's just something about being in sand and hearing the waves break! I have no plans of actually being in the water. After hearing Jessica's story and watching Shark Week on Discovery...I'll only be getting in the water to cool off...no floating on a raft for me!

We leave Tuesday and hope to stop in Hammond to see Amy, John and Miss Sadie!! How fun!! Hopefully it will work out. Then Wednesday evening Josh and Jill are meeting us at the beach. So we should have a fun week! Hopefully we won't have any hurricanes come our way!

Oh..and if anyone has any tips on taking a little one to the beach...let me know! I have a feeling he's going to be ALL over the place!!

website

I FINALLY updated Andrew's website. Feel free to check it out! :)

painting project

Yesterday Matt and I decided we would take advantage of him being off a lot this week and do some painting. When we built this house they would only paint all the walls one color. Since we've moved in we've only painted the computer room and Andrew's room. Did I just say we?...I meant Matt. I just don't really care to paint. It's too much work. :) I know, I'm a brat.

So, we started with Andrew's bathroom. It's not too big so I figured my ADD self could help. It didn't take us long and has made a world of difference!

It looks a wee bit lighter in this picture.

What was Andrew doing while we painted you ask? Well, he was taking a nap but woke up when we were waiting for it to dry. He entertained himself with the mirror for a while...

Who is that handsome boy?

Then he tried to play in the bathroom. He was DENIED by me!! Here's what he thought of that...

What a mean mommy I have!

He finally gave up on the fight and went to see if Dr. Phil could give him some advice...

I think Dr. Phil is brainwashing my child!

He decided Dr. Phil wasn't for him and played in his tent.

Today will be filled with going to the pool and relaxing. We have plenty of other rooms to paint but no funding yet. Plus it's SO hot! Another project probably won't happen until the fall.
