Thanksgiving

I love the holidays especially thanksgiving. Its fun to spend time with my family being grateful for what we have,eating lots of great food and playing fun games. My sister Kathy and her husband Ron drove from northern california to spend the holiday with mom and us. It was fun to sit around and give each other a hard time. Also catching up on whats going on in each of our lives. It was nice for mom to have some company even though she was tired and couldn't do to much. Family is and has always been very important to me. Without family unity whether its immediate or extended would make life quite boring. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! :)

TWILIGHT!!!!!

I know what can I say I loved the book and fell in love with Edward. The movie on the other hand was a disappointment. Why can't directors make a movie according to the book. Is it that difficult. I know they can't fit everything in but come on keep the scenes correct and pick actors that fit the part. The actors Jacob,Laurent and Jasper were a disappointment. There were some great accurate scenes but the Cullen house didn't even come close to what was written in the book. I apoligize to those who loved the movie maybe when I see it again I won't be as tired and might like it better.

Gobble! Gobble!

My cute beehives made turkeys out of cookies. We had a great time eating,talking and more talking. Thanks to my awesome friend Jalene who showed me how to make these turkeys. :)

Singing!

Justin and Jace are in the school choir and they had their first performance Saturday afternoon. They sang christmas songs at the local grocery store open house. Everyone did a great job. I loved the songs they sang since christmas is my favorite holiday.

It's Official!

I'm officially a substitute teacher. I'm very excited about teaching in my sons school. Next year when Jace goes to school all day I can have the same schedule the boys have. Plus earn a little extra money for extra things.

Quick and Easy Dinner!

Chicken Pesto Pasta
1 lb penne pasta, cooked
2-3 cooked sliced chicken breasts (I often bake the chicken seasoned with garlic powder, salt & pepper, or even better when we have leftover grilled chicken)
1/2 pint of cream (or milk)
~1/2 cup of prepared pesto to taste
handful of parmesan cheese
sprinkle of garlic salt
Cook the pasta. In a sauce pan, mix the cream, pesto, parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Heat until warm. Mix pasta, chicken and sauce all together and sprinkle some more parmesan cheese on top. I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. My boys even liked it.

Happy Birthday Jace!

Yesterday was my babys 6th birthday. Jace wanted a ghost cake with black spiderman on top of it. I did my best decorating it to his specifications. We also took jace to Chuck E Cheeses it was fun and he had a blast. I believe every child should have at least one experience at Chuck E Cheeses. Its funny since jace's lucky number is 5 but now he has turned 6 his lucky number is 6. He is quite the funny kid. Happy Birthday Jace. We Love You!!!! :)
