ummmm, no thank you.

This morning I was trying to empty the paper shredder into a garbage sack and I said, "Kennedy, do you want to help me empty this?". Her response, "Ummm, no "sank" you".

Oh, okay. Thanks for your help, you turkey. Mason tries this every once in awhile as well. I really didn't NEED any help and maybe she just knew that I was trying to distract her and make her forget that she had just found the DVD of a movie she wanted to watch.

(I scanned in this picture Damon took of my sassy little turkey. I need to have him email them to me so they are better quality and legal. :) )

How 'bout a good recipe...

This is one of our favorite meals. We got the recipe from Nicole but I have changed some things that I do different and those changes are listed on the bottom. It is great both ways but I don't usually have potatoes on hand but I do always have rice and everything else. ENJOY!

Enchilada Soup

5-6 Chicken Breasts (thawed)
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans enchilada sauce (I prefer Rosarita)
1 can black beans (rinsed)
1 can of corn
3-4 potatoes – cubed
1 can chopped tomatoes

Cook in crock pot for 5-6 hours or until chicken easily falls apart

*Optional toppings
cilantro, cheese, sour cream, avocados, chips

Tara’s changes to recipe
1 or 2 extra cans of black beans
Frozen corn instead of canned about 2 cups
No potatoes
I cook brown rice on the stove and add it to the soup just before serving. (about 2 cups worth) We like the soup thick

The next day we use a slotted spoon and put soup mixture into tortillas for tacos

Where have we been...

Okay, so the reason I haven't been blogging is because I still haven't purchased a new camera. Blogging is so much more fun when you have pictures. If you are a great writer, it doesn't matter so much....and since I don't fall into this category, I haven't been blogging. So I guess I will share a few random things....

* Mason drew a picture of our family at church on Sunday and I noticed I had two large circles drawn on my shirt. Oh, wait...are those my....? no....So I said, "Mason what is that?" And he leaned in real close to my ear and whispered, "Your boobs." Oh, okay. Thanks for not forgetting those.

*Kennedy has learned to wink like a pro and its cute

*Mason can blow a bubble with his bubble gum

*I had to sneak out of my step class early tonight because my friend and I talked so much I was worried that I would get in trouble after class...some things never change.

*I have a vacation planned for this summer and I NEVER plan this early so I am proud of us.

*I LOVED LOVED LOVED the movie PS I LOVE YOU. Go see it.
