Mothers Day

I Love that were able to take a special day out of the year and honor our moms.

I love how this project turned out, and I think my mother in law loved it too. She's wanted to get the kids handprints for quite sometime. So I came up with this idea, I cannot take all the credit. I did get some help from my grandpa and sister in law my grandpa routed the edges for me ,and my sister in law did the vinyl for me. I like giving gifts that are meaningful.
Hmm, Now if we had more than just one day to thank us for alll we do!;)

This is one of our Favorites:

Poppyseed Chicken

6 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1c. sour cream
2Tbsp. poppyseeds
2 stacks crushed Ritz crackers
1 1/2 cubes butter

Boil chicken; chunk it. Place in bottom of a greased casserole dish. Mix soup and sour cream over stove. When mixed well, pour over chicken. Melt butter; stir into crumbled Ritz crackers and poppyseeds. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Snow Much Fun

We went sledding with my family today to Celebrate 2010

It was a good start for the New Year. Let's hope it continues.

We have set a goal to run a 5k as a family in the spring.

Jacob's 9th Birthday

As you can see I'm a little behind on my blogging. Jacob's birthday was in December.

It's hard to believe Jacob is already 9. Where does the time

go? I think it's kinda funny he's such a huge Steelers fan, especially since his dad is a huge Broncos fan. We have a rivalry

at our house during Football Season.

Taco Soup

Here's the Taco Soup for everyone who wanted it.


1 lb ground beef
1 onion (chopped)
1 green pepper (chopped)
2 large cans diced tomatoes
2 cans tomato soup
2 cans of corn
4 cans of bean (drained) (any combo of pinto, dark or light kidney beans)
1 pkg taco seasoning

Brown the beef, onion and green pepper. Add additional ingredients.
Cook on low for several hours in a crock pot or on your stove top for 1 hour.

Top with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

You can freeze the left overs for another day!

Labor Day at Knolls

Jarrod trying to show off on the Sand Dunes.
Thanks Amanda for photoshopping this picture.

The kids thought that it would be fun to try rafting in the pond.

It was pretty funny watching them trying to row from one end to the other.

The kids liked searching in the rocks for the Horney Toads

they all thought it would be a great idea to take them home and

raise them, there were a lot of broken hearts... Shaylee thinks she wants a Gecko for Christmas now. Hmm... I don't think so!
