Mary Taylor loves soccer even though we have only practiced once we will see after the 1st game.

Our Spring Break Disney trip is fast approaching and we can't wait.

I've really gotten back in to couponing and finding deals, this is by far my favorite hobby! Silly I know, but it's really fun.

They are redoing the roads in our neighborhood and to say I'm sick of it is an understatement:(

I finally got a new camera. Mine has been broken since before Christmas and all I can say is thank goodness for protection plans. They really do pay off!

Mary Taylor's 1st Soccer Practice

Halloween

What I'm Loving!!!

MENU MONDAY

Chili

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
ground cumin (i used about 2 tsp)
1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes
chili powder (i used about 2 tsp)
1 package chili seasoning mix
1 small can tomato paste
1 can chili beans
2 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 green bell pepper diced( i used frozen)
1 package frozen chopped onions
1 lb ground beef(cooked and drained)

Cook the your meat, rinse and drain. Saute onions and peppers for a few minutes. Pour all ingredients in a stockpot, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 3-4 hours. I'm sure you could put this in a crock pot on high for 4-6 hours. I think cooking it for a long time is the key to this recipe!!

I saw this on Paula Deen's show one day, It had a lot of ingredients and takes a while to cook. But, it tastes so good!!

Mary Taylor 7th Birthday Party

Back to School 2010

1st day of school!!
We officially started 1st and 2nd grade this week at MSE. It's almost hard to believe that my kids are old enough to be in these grades!! We have had a terrific summer full of lots of fun, sleeping, TV and computer time. We are all going to need a few weeks to get back into the swing of things. The 1st morning I thought I would never get all lunches and snacks made. But, by today(Friday) I was in my groove!! I'm always afraid I'm going to forget something. I'm so glad to have everyone at one school and all on the same schedule. One drop off and One pick up time is fantastic!!! Right now I'm picking them up in the afternoon. We are a house divided on riding the bus. 1 out of 3 wants to ride so right now majority and the heat are ruling:)
