Weekend Recap!

If I could pick two words to describe my weekend it would be FUN and LAZY!!!! I use the word fun because on Friday night I went out with the Ashley Dietrich and Emmie Baack :) We had so much fun! We ate at Texas Roadhouse and I got this new drink they have called Raspberry Tea Vodka...seriously it was literally the best drink ever! I had to push it away a couple of times for fear of guzzling the whole thing down in one gulp!! Try it...its amazing!! Then we went to see the movie "The Lucky One", which was really good, but I have read the book and there were quite a few differences, so my recommendation....watch the movie first before reading the book or you will be sitting in the theatre the whole time thinking of all the differences! We had such a good time and so many laughs!!! Love those girls!

I use the word lazy because that is exactly how the rest of my weekend went!! I did absolutely nothing the rest of the weekend but clean and stay home, which was actually kind of nice...it seems like we always have something going on!

Sunday, my friend Julia came over and helped me sort and price all of my garage sale stuff! Bless her heart!! So that is all ready to go, and let me tell ya boy do I have a lot of stuff!! We ended the night with some homemade pizza and baths!

All in all a very good lazy weekend!!!

Yummy!

Yesterday I was on Pinterest and found a receipe for homemade taquitos! I decided to make them last night and they were yummy! Below is the receipe, enjoy :)

3 oz cream cheese
1 cup of green salsa
1 cup of pepperjack cheese
2 cups of cooked/shredded chicken
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
10 flour or corn tortillas

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds or until easy to mix with. In a seperate bowl mix together the salsa, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder. Once mixed add the cream cheese, shredded cheese and green onions. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp in each shell leaving about 1/2 in on each side of the tortilla and roll tightly. Put on a cookie sheet lined with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Once rolled light spray them with cooking spray and bake about 15-20 mins.!!

I made this somewhat healthier by using 1/3 fat free cream cheese, and low fat mexican cheese. I also used wheat tortillas (couldn't even tell a difference), pre-cooked tyson's chicken (actually pretty good), red salsa (I didnt have green, but I bet that would be really good) and I just used taco seasoning instead of the cumin, onion/garlic/chili powder. They turned out pretty good, the kids even liked them!!! They were also very easy and not time consuming at all. It took me all of 10 minutes to mix together, and I only had to bake them for about 15 minutes! So all together 25 minutes for dinner was awesome when you have impatient kids!! You could also mix the chicken mixture ahead of time and put in the fridge!!!

Garage Sale Crazy!!!

So I have decided that I am going garage sale crazy!!! I have been spending countless hours of going through tote after tote for my garage sale I am having for citywide next week!! I am somewhat impressed of the amount of stuff that I own that I didnt have any idea about!! Needless to say this is a much needed clean out, however,  I am going nuts!!! When I first started I didnt think I would have that much because I had two garage sales last year! Well boy was I wrong!!! I have went through two out of the three attic spaces and so far have 7 totes of you name it!!! My task this week is to go through the big attic space where all my decorations are and who knows what I will find in there!!!

Our garage sale is going to be huge!!! Not only do I have a ton of stuff, but there will also be 4 other families bringing their stuff over too!!! Here is the run down of our items:

Brown leather couch and chair, little tikes play cube, massage chair, end tables, desk, papazon chair, area rug, lamps, entertainment center, Pottery Barn Nursery Set (very cute it was Cole's-looks brand new), lots and lots of primitive house decor, baby/toddler clothes, some coach accessory items, womens clothes, housewares, bedding...and much more!!! (and who knows what else we will find) :)

Seriously I was writing up my ad for the paper (suppose to be limited to 20 words) what in the heck do you pick for 20 words out of the above list!! There was just too much!

I am very excited and hopefully lots of people show up!! Below are our hours!!!

Thursday May 3rd- from 9-6, Friday May 4th from 9-6 and Saturday May 5th from 9-2!!

Check us out!!! :)

Well it has been since 4/9/12 since I have lost blogged...WTH!!! lol!!! today is the 20th and I have much to talk about!!!

First things first.... I just finished the best book series I have ever read....Fifty Shades by E L James...if you have not read yet, I highly suggest you do. There is lots of romance (almost makes you need a cold shower) and such a good story line!!! http://www.eljamesauthor.com/books/fifty-shades-of-grey - here is a link to her website for the series...I also heard they are going to make this into a movie! I CANNOT WAIT!!!!

Yesterday I had to take Brynn in for her 1 year check up and she is growing!!! Was 20.25 lbs and in the 85th percentile for height! Big girl!! She is also walking all over the place now...I can hardly believe it!!

Last weekend I went to the craft show at the Mariott in Coralville and found some very cool things... I love going to those craft shows they are so much fun! Below is one of the things I got that I LOVE and it was only $20...thats a good deal if you ask me!!!

I promise in the future to not let it be so long before I blog again!!!!

Our Easter Weekend!!!

Our Easter weekend was so nice, spent with family!! On Saturday we went to see the Easter Bunny at the rec center...Cole was terrified, which is so funny because he never has been before...I couldn't even get him to stand by the Easter Bunny! Brynn sat on the Easter Bunny's lap but she gave me a look like "mom what in the heck is this thing" to say the least she was not enthused! Then we went to the Pasturczak's for dinner!!! Sunday the kids opened their easter baskets and Cole was so excited he kept saying "mommy dis is for me!" and "o gosh!" lol...he literally cracks me up! Brynna kept cheesing at me at digging through her basket...LOVE MY KIDS!!! After that we went to church, had an easter egg hunt and then had family over for dinner! All in all it was a great weekend filled with great memories!! Love my family :)

Brynna digging into her Easter Basket!

Cole didnt waste anytime he pulled everything out and also kept saying "mommy look it" :) he was so excited!!

Our Easter Outfits for church! they both love to cheese for the camera!! too cute!
