Enchiladas!

I made Chicken and Cheese Sour Cream Enchiladas for dinner last night. Oh my goodness gracious were they good!! I think John and I were in complete heaven. Plus the were SO easy!!I got the recipe from my cousin awhile ago and they kinda got put on the back burner......but now that life seems to be back to normal it seemed like the perfect time! I had never even had an enchilada before. I think that made it all the more rewarding.....the fact that it was my first time and I made them and they were delicious! Yay to me ;)

Here it is going into the oven

Look at ALL of that CHEESE!! You can't even see where one enchilada begins and one ends. It was kinda like where's Waldo but with an Enchilada!!

About to get eaten! Even the boys cleared their plates! If you haven't had enchilada's before or have but haven't made them, I would suggest you get on it. They are THAT good. Plus you can make they any way you want them. The options are endless!!

Spring State of Mind...

Check out my ADORABLE new Mary Jane Crocs in Ruby Red! I could totally be Dorothy in these! I even have them on now. I am in a spring state of mind.....meaning that's ALL I have been thinking about. Green grass, birds chirping, flowers starting to bloom and mostly FLIP FLOPS! Seriously....who really enjoys wearing socks and shoes all the time. NOT me. My little piggies like the fresh air ;)

If you are in need of some Crocs head on over the their website. The have some GREAT deals in their outlet section....which is where I got these! Plus they have free economy shipping on all orders! Man...I should get paid for this post. Hee Hee!!

Valentine's Party!

Here are some cute pics from Jacob's Valentine's Day party at school last week! He was SO happy to be back! I think he really missed his teacher and his little "girl" friend Annie!!

Jacob and "Annie" enjoying their snack

Getting ready to play Hot Potato

Ring Toss

Look at the cute little mailbox he made in class. I thought that was one of the best crafts a parent has come up with!! They are so cute and the kids had a blast decorating them! I really LOVE being able to attend all of Jacob's class parties! It's so fun seeing him interact with his teacher and classmates.....and just getting to see him in a different environment. I wish I had been able to do as much with Johnny. Time sure does go by fast.....I am just trying to enjoy every moment I can!

Randomness

It seems as if life is FINALLY getting back to normal. As much as I LOVE my boys I have found over the last couple of weeks that I LOVE our everyday routine too. A routine that pretty much goes out the window when you have your husband and children home for days/weeks at a time. Now if it was summer time it wouldn't really be a big deal, but in the middle of winter it's a GIGANTIC deal. For some reason I can't seem to get anything done when everyone is home. I guess I'm not as good of a multi tasker as I had thought. I am very easily distracted and when there are four of us plus the dog here all day for days on end there seem to be a MILLION distractions. Go figure!

Anyway....I am getting things done now that our routine is restored!! I have learned over the last couple of weeks that I kinda like doing things at the same time everyday. I guess you could say it's my comfort blanket. I feel good when I know there are certain times for all of the things I need to do on a certain day. It's just plain comforting!! So in other words I have been extremely uncomfortable. Not the best feeling. Oh....and I got sick during this last storm. NOT FUN. Though even in my deepest discomfort the boys always found a way to make me smile and giggle!! I think they've got my number! I wouldn't have it any other way either :)


A pic of Jacob and I having a hat day!! There were LOTS of those!

I took the boys to see this movie last week. We went to the Alamo on Tuesday (it's baby day....kids 6 and under are free!!). I really enjoyed the movie. I think it was geared to older children though. There were a couple of scary parts. Neither of the boys seemed to notice though....Phew!! I TOTALLY recommend going on a Tuesday. I was worried that it would be super crowded, but it wasn't. It was very pleasant...plus pizza's are half price...and their pizza is GOOD!!

I am hoping to get out with some girlfriends to see Valentine's Day. It looks SO good!!

I am dying to see Shutter Island. It looks like a good one to see with the Hubby!! Hint Hint Hubby;)

♥♥Happy♥Valentine's♥Day♥♥

Happy Happy Valentine's Day!! Here are some pictures of the boys Valentine's Day lunch, because honestly nothing says I Love You like processed meat and sugar!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Still to come.......pictures of what is sure to be a Beautiful and Delicious Angel Food Cake with Fresh Strawberry Glaze!! I can't wait for dessert!!

Here she is!! Could be a little more Beautiful but man was she good!!....After our YUMMY crab leg dinner of coarse!! I would never have dessert before dinner ;)

Fantasy Land

As of now I am living in Fantasy Land. Which in this case would be Aruba. This is the Resort where John and I Honeymooned. In my Fantasy I am there with John, the boys, my Parents and my In-Laws. We are having the most wonderful time laying on the beach! The boys are AMAZED at the clear water!! We are sipping on Banana Daiquiri's (juice for the boys of coarse!), munching on platters of fresh fruit and basking in the warmth of the sun!!

We spend our evenings having delightful dinners at the various restaurants in the Resort followed by leisurely strolls along the beach. We then head to our rooms and fall Blissfully asleep!!

If you need to get in touch with me this is where I'll be ;)

More Pictures....

This is what you do when you get over two feet of snow!!

Snow Pictures

This is what a CRAP load of snow looks like!

TOO Much Snow.

You know you have too much snow when your dog can't even go to the bathroom. I let Blue out front this morning thinking he would pee and run in. NOPE. His first thought was to run to the neighbors house to see if his friend was out. What a Dumb Ass! I guess there can never be enough snow to stop animals from wanting to see their friends!!

Here he is heading to the neighbors.

Here he is trying to get back. LOL!!

Good Read

I got this book called Bone By Bone by Carol O'Connell for Christmas. I have never read her stuff before, but I am loving this book!! I can't put it down! If you are into murder/mysteries I would definitely give her a try!

As soon as all of this snow clears I will have to hit the book store to get more of her stuff!

UGH.....

This is what the playroom looks like after having the boys home three days in a row. I TOTALLY want to clean but am sure it will look like this again within moments.....seeing as how we might be stuck here for awhile :(

Sickies :(

I've got a couple of sickies :( Johnny has Strep Throat AGAIN. That now makes the 4th time in three months. UGH. The Dr. said this is the last time she will treat for it. We have to go back after 10 days to have him tested again and if he's still positive or if he gets it again this winter then she is sending us to an ENT specialist. This little guy just can't seem to get a break......even though you still wouldn't know he has it. He shows NO symptoms. NONE.

Poor little Jacob has a cold and an Ear Infection. I don't think I've ever seen him feel this bad. He had a bit of a runny nose yesterday, but nothing that really concerned me. Then he kept getting up during the night. The last time was at 6am and he was just about hysterical. Pulling on his ear, crying and moaning:( It's just pitiful. Hopefully he will be feeling better in no time! I just hope that being home with sick kids for a couple of days doesn't make me sick. That would REALLY suck. Mommies should NEVER get sick!! Right? Right!!!

(What a sad little sickie:()

I will be doing some SERIOUS praying for NO snow this weekend. I just don't think I can take anymore. If any of my neighbors see me running through the streets screaming like a mad person this weekend you will know why!! I want to take to boys outside and feel the warmth of the sun on my face....and paint my toenails and wear flip flops. That's not asking for too much ;) Right? I say Right!!
