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...

My big boy Carter (above)...
My little Landon (below)...
Gran and Papa, with the boys...
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).

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!

30 day Blog Challenge!




Okay guys-
I have been told by many that people have been giving up on me and blogging! LOL! Please don't give up! So...in order to restore your "faith" in me, I will be posting a blog a day for the next 30 days. I don't know how I will find the time, but I need you guys back...ha ha!
I have tons of pics to download and many that I haven't had time to post, so I will not have a problem in the picture department.

The title of this post is MESSY, MESSY Landon. 99% of the time, I let Landon just feed himself. Hey...he has to learn, right? However, this is usually the mess I have to clean up afterwards! For some reason, I can't get the picture up top to move down so it will have to stay there. Landon saw his brother eating caramel and apples and decided he wanted some to go along with his cheerios.








Landon eating spaghetti...
So now I challenge ALL of my blogger friends to do the 30 day blog challenge! Come on guys, it will be fun!
