Show us your life- Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

Kelly is doing dinner recipes this week, here is one I love.


Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

This one is great, quick and easy. Plus I freeze half of it for another day and it tastes great.

Ingredients:

1 chicken cooked and shredded or 4-5 chicken breast

1 Package of cooked spaghetti (best if cooked in chicken broth)

1 can cream mushroom soup

1 can cream chicken soup

3/4 package Velveeta cut into cubs

1 cup chicken broth

Mix all ingredients in a casserole dish. I put my in two 8x8 dishes and freeze on and cook the other.

Cook 30 minutes at 350 degrees



You can always add a can of rotel to spice it up.

oh the things they say

Taylynn has been cracking me up with her ideas and songs and little sayings.

I will admit I think her favorite word is still no. Actually it is NO, but you get it. Other than that the rest that come out of her mouth is pretty hilarious. Here are some examples:

"Santa is coming....he is going to play with me"

"Mommy the monster is coming shut the door"

"Hey sweety, hey honey"

"I am going to girls night"

song.... " Pippy Locking is coming to your worl.....feckle face girl....oooooh oh"

"Stop!! No shaking it" (Yes I was dancing, ha!)

" I got my hiney"

She is a hoot, I love it.

This stuff probably isn't too funny to you, but coming from a cute little two year old, is so funny.

Shake your tail feather

So this weekend Taylynn and Preston had their first dance class. It was adorable, they worked on their rythem and the did a little tap (and yes Preston wore tap shoes too), ballet and tumbling. Preston wasn't as into it, but I think he'll warm up. He is more of a free style dancer.

The night before I decided to spruce up Taylynn leotard and I came up with this:


I was going to make a mini tutu, but I thought something to go right over here bottom would be adorable, plus I can only cute her up for so long.

Taylynn's friend Riley came with us, here is a picture of the girls admiring themselves in the mirror.

Preston found some balloons somewhere and was distracted.
But once they pulled out the mat for tumbling, he was all over it.
Here is my cute little dancer

Birds

We have had a tiny birds nest in our front yard. I think it is just big enough for a two year olds fist to fit in it. The daddy bird looked kinda like this yellow canary, but even prettier. After doing reasearch I cannot find what type of bird he was. I had never seen one like him before. He was really small too.
I think the mom sat on the nest a week before the eggs hatched. The nest was so tall I had to use my camera and hold it way up high and snap a shot just to see if any birds were inside. This is the first picture I got.

I know pretty cool picture right? Here are a few other just a couple days later. Oh and their are three babies in that little nest.
As you can tell it was time for them to move out, their little home got to small really fast.

A little bit more on Arkansas!

Whilre in AR we just had lots of fun. This post will mostly be pictures. Have fun!

Mom and Taylynn in Target. Taylynn rode
that bike almost the entire time we shopped at Target.
Dinner at the Outback. We were supposed to eat at Doe's, but they closed for Labor Day :(
My parents took Taylynn to do her first Build a Bear. Pretty cool story, my dad once worked and is pretty good friends with the CEO of build a bear.

Thanks Mom and Dad for a great weekend, we'll never forget.

On the way to Arkansas

On Friday we left for Arkansas around 4pm. Our plan was to get there about 8:30-9pm.
We had some bad timing though. First we got stuck in KC traffic, which seemed to take forever to get through. Once we got out of it it was about 6pm and we had to stop for dinner. We at at Harrisonville and once we got back in the car we were looking forward to a straight, no traffic trip.

Turns out a lot of people were head to the Ozarks. By the time we got on the highway the traffic was all backed up again. We got trough it and we were on our way. I thought the kids would nap, they didn't. Preston was upset and uncomfortable. We stopped somewhere to get the kids out and have a potty break, then hit the road again. By 9:45 ish we were about an hour away, but the kids needed out and Aaron needed a picker upper. We went to Wal Mart and got some candy, the kids loved it.

We arrived at some point and we were beat, but we told Taylynn we were going to have a party because she pooped in the potty that day. So we pulled out the ice cream and added a candle, she was pretty darn excited.

Here are a couple moments I captured.



Much more from the weekend to come.

Well, hello!

Where have I been? I am usually a blogger that will post at lest 4 times a week. I am sorry. Blogging has taken a back seat for a while. I will come back to it though once I get organized.

I have been selling labels and it is keeping me pretty busy. I am trying to figure out how to juggle it all. I also need to find a better place to work than the kitchen table.

I am also trying to make sure I am not consumed by anything but God. The computer has been totally consuming me. I have limited my time on here, so most of that time goes to working on the labels.

I start a Beth Moore Bible study on Tuesday, Believing God. Has anyone done this one before? I am excited. It has been too long since my last Beth Moore Bible study.

I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend. I'll be in Bentonville to visit my parents.
