Crawfish

Here are some pictures on Landon from the crawfish boil we had over Easter weekend. The shirt he is wearing was Carter's. I know I have some pictures of Carter, in the same shirt, at crawfish boils. I will have to see if I can find them and scan them in.

Carter actually ate crawfish that night for the first time. I wish I got pictures of it, but I had put my camera down (so that I could eat ;)). He really liked them, but later his mouth was burning. I asked him yesterday if he wanted to eat shrimp (we were meeting my parents at S &D Oyster bar) and he said "no they burn my mouth!". He thought that shrimp was crawfish. LOL!

A must see for parents with small children!

Appreciate the moments!!

Easter Pics Take 2!

I have a bunch of random Easter pics I thought I would go ahead and post.




Both of the boys have a mouth full of candy.

There was a petting zoo at the church.


I didn't get many pics of Landon in his Easter outfit. I will have to put him in it to take bluebonnet pictures soon.
Carter's Easter outfit...

Landon "sneaking" jelly beans. He LOVES them, but he sticks about 20 in his mouth at once and waits for them to dissolve.

Please Pray for Stellan

I'm back!

The above picture is Landon saying "Shame on Mommy!". I know, I know...I slipped on my 30 day challenge. We had the garage sale Saturday....It totally WIPED me out. It took me all day yesterday just to get my house back in order. We had 4 families set up at our house. Between the Moms, Dads and kids, I think we had like 14 people over here. It had stormed the previous day and night, so TONS of mud and grass were tracked through my house.

I did get my Easter pictures downloaded. So that I can spread out my pictures (hey, I do have about 25 more posts to go), I am only going to post a few today.

We tried to get our picture taken with the Easter Bunny at Aunt Pam's church. Landon was NOT a fan (somehow I am not surprised).

Here I am trying to convince him that the Easter Bunny is a "good" guy...
This is the grip he had on me....
This was the best picture I could get. I HAD to be in the picture too. He would not let me let go of him. Notice he would not take his eye off of the bunny!

More Branson Pics...

We had a great time in Branson. We visited with family, ate good food, made the rounds to visit the cemeteries and went to Silver Dollar City. Carter LOVED all the rides and showed NO FEAR (scary). Landon even got to ride a few, but he didn't like waiting in line. He wanted to ride and he wanted to ride NOW!

Creamy Slow-Cooker Chicken

Tonight we had a new crockpot dish. I thought that it was VERY good...especially considering it is low fat and quick!

6 (I used 4 large) chicken breast
seasoned salt
canola oil
1 can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
1 package 1/3 less-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (o.7 oz) envelope Italian dressing mix
1 (8oz) package sliced fresh mushrooms

1. Sprinkle chicken with season salt. Cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to slow cooker, reserve drippings in skillet.
2. Add soup, cream cheese, white wine, and Italian dressing mix to hot drippings in skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.
3. Arrange mushrooms over chicken in slow cooker. Spoon mixture over mushrooms. Cover and cook on low 4 hours. Stir well before serving.

I served it over rice. I hope you enjoy!!

Just a Branson teaser...

Me thinking I was never going to see my kids again after riding this ride. It was so scary!

This weekend we are having our annual neighborhood garage sale. I have been so busy getting ready for this. I am in the mood to declutter the house. So since I have Keno tonight, for now you only get a little teaser of our Branson trip 1 1/2 weeks ago.

I'm so tired...

I'm here, but no time for a post. Busy, busy day. I have to be up at 6:00 in the morning to go help with Donuts for Dads at school, so I am off to bed. I will have Easter pics tomorrow. So for tonight, you get a picture of our 3rd child (Oliver).

Have a great weekend!

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I know we will!!

Landon is 1 1/2 years old!

Actually he turned 18 months yesterday, but I didn't realize it until after I did my post. I took Landon to the Dr. today for his well check and he is growing good. He is 75% height and 50% weight....even though he eats everything in sight. The Dr. watched him play around for awhile and said that he is doing EXACTLY what an 18 month should be doing and you would never know he was a preemie. Not that I had any doubts about that, but it is good for him to point that out.
Happy 1 1/2 year birthday baby boy! You are the miracle your Mommy and Daddy prayed for and you bring much joy to our hearts every day!! You love your Mommy, Daddy, big brother, Oliver, Cole (although the love isn't mutual), your paci and your Skippy. We love you big boy!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! My 30 day blog challenge may be put on hold until Monday because I will be spending a 3 day weekend with the family. That just means I will have lots of pictures to share. I also have zoo pics (from Spring Break) and Branson, Missouri pics from last weekend.

Happy Easter!!

Just Pictures

Once again, I can't get the top picture to move down. I have no idea what is wrong :) Here are some old pics that I went through. The first few pics are from the bike ride we went on a while back. Keller has some great bike trails not too far from our house.


This is from our good ol' Texas "snow day". Yes, that would be just ice on our driveway. Carter is sliding down on a cookie sheet.
Here is Carter and I at his Valentines Day party. Landon had his tubes put in his ear that morning, it was a very long day for Mommy!
Landon wanting to read like his brother...
Here is Landon smiling while he is getting his breathing treatment. This is back when he had RSV.

Not much to post today....I still haven't gotten the pics downloaded. There are just not enough hours in the day!! Gotta run!
