What's for Dinner?

Since we are watching what we eat & also trying not to spend too much money on eating out, I've been venturing out with my menu planning! I've found

Check this Out

I've tried 2 things off her recipe blog, the Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken (I even made real bacon bits) & the Mighty Meat Nachos (even made homemade torilla chips)!

They were both yummy! Tyson really liked the Nachos! It makes a ton so I need to adjust the recipe some for next time but it was Yum-O!

Anyone have any great recipes or recipe sites to share with me?

Where Oh Where Have I Been?

Truthfully I don't know! We have been busy everyday since school let out and we haven't been able to sleep in ONE.SINGLE.DAY!!!! If you know me at all, you know that hasn't sat well with me!!!

I've been walking with my friend Kasi every night and FINALLY made it to 100 miles with my Nike+! I got my own little mini me and they even got me a certificate! I thought this was funny so I took a pic of it! I guess in case I wanted to hang it on the fridge??? LOL


We walk for about an hour every night which usually ends up being a little over 3 miles!

Jed went to a baseball camp a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it! No pics from that though! (one of the reasons we had to get up early!!)

Then a couple of weeks ago we had a baby shower for my friend Rachella. It was a lot of fun! I gave her a diaper cake and of course have a story to tell! I didn't make it b/c I really didn't have time to do it! I have a friend whose mom makes them so I asked her to make it well here's the before


I about lost it! I know now why I make so much stuff~it's a control issue!!! I thought it looked tacky so I pulled all the stuff off of it and redid it!


this is the after!

I made this cute towel for a friend to give as a birthday gift!



I've also been working on some other towels for another friend and that's what has taken most of my time! I finished them though so now it's on to having fun right?

Last week we went to the dollar movies and saw Charolette's Web! The kids enjoyed it although it wasn't so cheap after we bought popcorn and a drink! haha

I FINALLY finished Breaking Dawn and I am so glad! I had a love/hate relationship with that final book. I MADE myself finish it the other day! I am reading the Shack now and a book called The Bad Girls of the Bible! We'll see how that turns out!


We went a few weeks ago and had family pictures done! It worked out really wierd and I have become friends with the lady who took our pictures! :)



Tyson and I also celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe we've been married 12 years!



Here's to another 12 years babe!

I've also been meal planning and we've been eating at home quite a bit! I'm always better about this in the summer I guess b/c I have a little more time but need to be better about it during the school year! I plan our meals from Thursday to Thursday b/c that's when Tyson gets paid! Here's our menu for this week!

Sunday (today)~Roast
Monday~basil chicken & angel hair pasta
Tuesday~spaghetti
Wednesday~Tacos
Thursday~Meatballs

We ate tacos last night so I'll have to come up with something else.

I think that's all to write about right now! See ya!

Catching Up...

We are into our 2nd week of summer and I can't say that I've done too much! Last week we had recital all week long & this week Jed has been going to a baseball camp! His league team ended up getting 2nd overall and 1st in their division! Friday night we had a great game against the Yankees so we were all excited for Monday nights game, but it didn't go so well! We only ended up losing 2 games the whole season, so they had a good run!

Here's Jed with his trophys and batting!





I've been walking with my friend Kasi every night~we go for about 3 miles! I FINALLY reached 100 miles with my Nike+~Other than that we have just been hanging out at the house! I'm trying to get things cleaned out for a garage sale and then hopefully I can start painting bedrooms next week when we don't have any obligations!:)
