Tomatoes are planted!

We love home grown tomatoes!
It's a must to plant. We knew that we would be moving but we planted them at our old house anyway. Good thing it's still in the family so we can go water and eat them.
 
 I don't think she wanted her picture being taken.
 Oh and she loves Justin & Missy's goats. Looooves.
Bring on the BLT's! Yum.

Love Letter #1

Dear Jessie- You are so cute! I know I'm you're mother but I seriously can't get enough of you're big blue eyes. You have been so much fun lately and have been talking so much! It seriously happened over night. I loved practicing all the words you know. Some of them include: Momma, Dadda, Papa, Mamma, Wade, Derek, Hannah, Betsy, Uncle, Kiki, Brooke, Horse, Justin, Missy, Truck, Car, Puppy, Kitty, ROAR! and so so much more. We have been trying to work on peoples names. You are doing so good and surprise me each day with new words. I loved playing hide-and-seek with you and Daddy tonight. We were so sneaky and Daddy could never find us!;) I have loved doing you're hair lately. It's getting so long and we are able to do fun things with it, even if you are wiggling all over the place while trying to do it. I love that you are totally in love with The Lion King. When I put you in bed tonight I could hear you roaring with the movie while I was in my room. Daddy and I can't wait to take you to the fair this weekend to take you on rides and see the piggies and get an ice cream cone!

Dear Cody- Thank you for being so nice and hanging all the pictures and decor on the walls. You are so sweet. I'm glad you liked dinner tonight. Even though it was kinda crunchy cause we ran out of foil. You never complain. I love watching you play with Jessie. She is so in love with you and I can't blame her. She loves when you come home from work. It's our favorite part of the day. Can't wait to spend the weekend with you and J.

Dear New House- Oh! You are so cute. I'm so glad that we have finally been able to move in. You are looking better by the day. I have kinda felt like I have been staying in a hotel but it's been nice.

I looked out the window

Everytime it rains a large puddle of water collects in front of our house.
Let's face it. I secretly love to drive through it.
But..
I won't be looking out these windows for much longer.
Our offer was approved on the house.
So we're moving!!
 I'm so excited!!

Easy Beef Stroganoff

There is something I love about those easy comfort food meals,
especially on a rainy chilly day!
I got this recipe from the lovely Holly.
Go check out her blog!
 
What your gunna need:
8 oz extra wide egg noodles
1 lb ground beef (I used lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup beef broth
8 oz container of sour cream (I used low fat)
1 (10 3/4 oz) can of cream of mushroom soup (I used low fat)
2 tsp dried parsley
 
Start by cooking your noodles according to directions on the package. When they are done drain and put back into pot with a lid so they won't dry out.
While the noodles are boiling start browning the hamburger in a large skillet over a medium high heat. When the hamburger is fully cooked add the onion and garlic, stir. Then add the beef broth. Bring to a slight boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-8 minutes.
After the mixture has simmered add cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Keep the temperature to a medium high heat. Stir often and bring to a slight boil. When mixture is heated through stir in the dried parsley.
Serve over warm egg noodles.
Went great with salad but would be great with canned a veggie too.
 While I cook, they play!
 This recipe was super yummy and Cody loved it!
If feeding a small family I would definitely half the recipe.
I had a lot of left overs!

Fort Fun

A couple weeks ago we made Jessie a fort!
She thought it was pretty cool!
 Don't mind her messy hair and soggy diaper.
 Did I mention we love lazy day weekends?
I spent all day Monday cleaning up the house,
It was super nice to not worry about it over the weekend.

UNLV Game

Cody LOVES the Runnin' Rebels.
When he got tickets for Christmas from his lovely Sister Hannah for Christmas he was pretty excited!
I told him he should take someone who would really enjoy it and have fun,
buuut he insisted I go with him.
I'm really glad I did.
He even promised I could pick where we ate.
I told him I wanted the Cheesecake factory..
Let's be real..... Who doesn't love it?!
Long story short..
We got lost and just decided to go to P.F Changs.
It was ok. Other than we haven't been there recently and forgot how you are able to share plates.
Cody got noodles.
I got rice.
Holy carb overload.
