Whistling Wednesday!

Okay, two posts in one day. I must be crazy! But here goes. As I was adding the last post I was listening to the music player I have installed, and I got thinking... I love music! Especially music that hits you right down to the core or sends shivers up and down your spine. Maybe I'm a mental case, but there are even songs that can make me break down and cry like a baby. So because this is a blog about me I figured I would let you in on all these facts. Wednesdays I will try and post at least one new song. It will be a song that has moved me emotionally in one way or another. Now these may not be for everyone. I have a WIDE range of music that I listen to. Anything from Classical to oldies to the heavy angry metal music that your mother would pull her hair out if she heard it. But it might give you and insight into my style, whatever it may be. I'm still not so sure that I have a style, maybe one day when I grow up. :) Anyhow, today is Pink. She is an odd and outrageous character at times, but other times she can be a sensitive and striking individual. I love her strong voice and the lyrics she uses. If you get a chance you can find her live video of this song on Utube. It's even more awesome to watch her performance. Enjoy!

The Mighty Fisherman!

For sping break, Keith took Hunter and his week paid vacation and went FISHING! It's something he absolutley loves to do, no matter what the weather is! He went to Ellis (Just past Challis) and fished to his hearts content. His Dad met him there, and Uncle Kevin and his friend Jamie showed up a few days later. He had a great time, other than finding the camper refridgerator in smoke. Gotta love the fact that there is food all over the camper and the mice will find wires to chew on and cause a short!

Isn't he handsome!

Sorry the pic is sideways! But nice fish!

Savory Saturday!

It's time once again for Savory Saturday! I have to admit this has really helped me try and think of stuff all through the week. With Keith being on vacation with Hunter this week, it's just me and the girls. We don't eat much, so it's going to be a very simple menu. But you still might be able to use something.

Saturday- We have a birthday party and will be eating dinner there. But I am making a broccoli salad.
3 Cups chopped broccoli, 1/4 red onion, 1/2 c cheddar cheese, 1/2 c bacon crumbles, 1/2 c sunflower seeds. For the sauce: 1c miracle whip, 1/2 c sugar, and 4T red wine vinegar.

Sunday-Leftover Tasty meatloaf and Mashed potatoes

Monday- Spaghetti and home made Meatballs and Garlic Bread

Tuesday- Going to Visit Keith in Salmon, Having Fried Chicken and Fiesta pasta salad

Wednesday- Leftover spaghetti

Thursday- Chicken Fajita Salads ( Cuz they were so yummy at Heather's)

Friday- Pizza

If you need the recipe for the meatballs or chicken fajita salad, I would be happy to help. Just let me know. And Happy Cooking this week!!

Hair it is!

Hailey has been begging me to cut her hair for the longest time. After much deliberation, and the fact that I have no money to take her to the salon, I braved it and did it myself. I was scared to death, but after all was said and one it didn't turn out too bad! Here are some before and after pics!

Savory Saturday

Okay, so "someone" has a cute theme for everyday of the week. I thought this was a super cute idea and thought it might help keep me posting more often. So for now I'm kind of adapting this idea. Thanks Heather! And I hope you don't mind. I also thought this might be helpful to a few others of you who actually read this blog. Saturdays will be know as Savory Saturdays. I'm going to try and post a weekly menu. Sometimes it will be the same old stuff and sometimes they will be new and exciting recipes to try. This week I used a lot of my recipes from The sisters cafe website. You can find the link on the side of my page. So here goes...

Sunday- Cranberry Pork Roast, Green Salad, and Steamed Veggies

Monday-Chicken Cream Cheese Soup and Rolls

Tuesday-Pork Burritos and Spanish Rice (Using the leftover pork roast)

Wednesday-Tasty Meatloaf, Baked Potatoes, and Frozen Veggies

Thursday-Hot Dogs and Fiesta Chicken Pasta Salad

Friday-Leftovers

I know I always have a hard time thinking of what to make for dinners, so I was hoping it might give you some inspiration. I can't cook for you, but I can help you think of something to make!

Crafting Fun

Okay, I am a bad blogger! :) I have decided it's time for me to update more often. I'm going to start with a small goal and work my way up. I promise to update every two weeks, at least! So here goes. I had a super fun afternoon today! I got to have a play date!!! (Okay, the kids did too.) But sometimes adults just have to have a fun time too. Heather and I got to create some craft blocks. Thanks to her super duper Cricut machine! Never used one, but now I can see what all the fuss is about! Hers turned out way better than mine but it sure was fun. And here is a pic! Thanks Heather for the super fun time!
