BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Teresa had her baby and I flew to Idaho. Now that I am back home, my sister-in-law had her baby! I have had something on my calendar EVERY DAY to do!!!! We have two more cousins that are due in the next few weeks. Babies everywhere! :) Got Valentine Parties tomorrow. Hoping I can plow thru some laundry before heading to the store to get everything I need for 4 classes! :) I will get some pictures posted soon. I just got my camera back. Well...gotta run!

Baby Karson!

Fried Dill Pickles

For all of you who asked about our fried pickles. Here is the recipe I used. They are kind of salty. I suggest you eat them with something, but Jason loves them just like they are.

Combine first 5 ingredients, stirring well. Set aside. Combine 3 1/2 cups flour, salt and pepper, stirring well. Dip pickles in milk mixture and dredge in flour mixture, repeat process. Deep fry in hot oil, 350 degrees until pickles float to surface and are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Christmas Pictures

My Men....
Brittany gave Jason a little nutcracker for Christmas. Doesn't his look say it all? :)

Zachary in front of the Christmas tree. Zachary being goofy. He takes after his Dad.

Trevor loves the Ben 10 alien stuff.

And Aunt Vann got Brittany a Fur Real. She LOVES it!

By the way...

I asked the children what the true meaning of Christmas is and this is their responses:

Trevor: "It's about Jesus being born and He was meant to die on the cross and become the Savior which is Christ the Lord."

Brittany: "It's about celebrating Jesus' birthday and giving other than receiving. Jesus was born in a manger so that we may not perish but have everlasting life."

Zachary: "It's a birthday party for Jesus."

I think they get it! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I am back!!!!! I will try to post some pictures soon. But I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! Can't wait to start hearing from everyone again!!!! Many thanks to Mr. Jack who helped me get my new computer and to my mom who got it set up and running!!!!

My computer died....

My computer died a good while back and so I have been flung into a computerless world! :) I have actually had alot more time to clean now! But I hate not keeping in touch with everyone. I will have a computer soon though. I'll be back blogging soon! Don't forget about me in the meantime! :) Oh and my sister is having a BOY! I'm sure everyone already knows though! We are excited!

Jason wanted some fried pickles, so I and my littlest chef accepted the job! Zachary had a blast with all the ooey gooey mess of them. Of course, you can tell by the look on his face, that he would NEVER eat one! :)

I'm still alive!

Sorry to all my many blog readers (chuckle)! I am still alive. I have been babysitting and cleaning houses for extra money in order to get the kids school supplies. School is ready to start again! Can you believe it! Time flies so fast!
Anyhow, we have our tax free holiday next weekend and I am geard up ready to go. If you have any coupon info or valuable money saving advice...let me know!
