Let the Hand-Me-Downs Begin ...

And it begins ... we had to pull out a pair of shoes from Judson's old stuff for Jentry. They are slightly big, but she is enjoying her walker when we go outside to watch Judson play and the sandals just down grip the slick contrete. So, she has a really cute pink dress on with hearts all over it and her boyish shoes that are navy with a hint of orange! :) She still looks cute, though!

A couple of hand-me-downs I am looking forward to include his old green john deere shirt and his green johnny popper boots that will look super cute with her blue jean mini and her yellow head bow (we have head bows ... not hair bows ... due to the lack of hair)!

Easy and Good Recipe Lost, but Found ...

Crockpot Mexican Fiesta

1 bag white corn tortilla chips
1 pound ground beef
1 can ranch style beans
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of mild rotel
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 cup onion - chopped

Spray crock pot with non-stick spray and cover the bottom with slightly rushed chips. Combine soups, rotel, chili powder, and onion in a separate bowl and blen well with a whisk. Brown ground beef in a skillet, drain fat, and add ranch style beans and mix together. (DO NOT drain the beans). Layer half of the beef mixture over the chips, then half of the soup mixture over the beef, ending with half of the cheese over the beef. Repeat these layers once more beginnings with chips and ending with cheese. Cook on high in crock pot for three hours.

Last time I made this, we ate it twice and then still had a little left. I also made some mexican rice to go with it! Very good and easy!

Beautiful Day to be Outside ...

We tried out the new bubble machine, the bubble wand, and our newest set of golf clubs today! It was so nice, we had to take our jackets off!

The $1 Bubble Wands at Walmart are well worth it and make huge bubbles! The Bubble Machine at Walmart is well worth the $10! Don't waste your money buying the slightly bigger, $15 one. I couldn't imagine how it could possibly make any more bubbles!

Successful Shopping ...

Today, I decided to brave it and take my almost 5 month old and my 2 1/2 year old shopping in Stephenville! I have NEVER taken them both anywhere like this by myself, except to our local grocery store. I decided I couldn't wait for Walmart any longer and I really wanted to get Jentry these cute jelly shoes my mom had seen at Payless!

I told myself there was no reason to rush ... I had nothing else I HAD to accomplish! So, we left at 12:15 and walked back in the door at 5:30! It was not near the trouble I thought it would be, but I obviously took my sweet time too! We ate, went to Walmart, then Payless, then Bealls, then 4 Kids Only, then JCPenney! After that I even rounded up Jason's grandma's b-day gift (which took 3 stops).

The kids were very well behaved! Judson got three new Thomas trains, a new Thomas video, a bubble wand and a bubble machine, and a new plastic set of golf clubs since he was such a big boy and listened perfectly! And Jentry did well herself with some new bows, 3 new outfits, her jelly shoes, a Minnie Mouse video, and zebra sunglasses! Looking back, they both really made a haul! I am ready to try out the new bubble machine myself though! I did ok too though ... a new shirt from JCPenney and two Tarleton shirts from Barefoot Athletics while I was in there too.

Fun Day! Now, hopefully the sun is shining tomorrow so we can break out the bubble machine and wand!!!
