Rain Rain Go Away

Another rainy day in Georgia means another whinny day in Booneville. I try to wear them out inside but between our to do list of chores and cabin fever I am going nuts!! Thank goodness that mom got Walker the Easter Bunny coming to town movie or I would be bald now. Thanks Mom Walker LOVES the movie!!!!!

Aden did take some independent step this morning but right when he got to his fire truck he took a nose drive right into the fire truck and that was all he wrote on the walking. Last night I was trying to get him to come to me but instead of him walking or crawling he got on his hands and feet and walked that way. What a goofy boy but that's why I love him so much.

I finally got Walker and Aden signed up for preschool next year at our church. Walker will go three days(Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and Aden will go Thursdays. I am stocking up on tissues for the first day of Walker's school but I am excited at the same time. I will be able to get out and help Josh more which makes him excited.

Tomorrow we are suppose to meet with a realtor to put our old house on the market. I am bitter sweet about that but GLAD when I can close the book on that chapter of my life. It is only bitter sweet because that was my boys first house and the crazy sentimental personality of me is sad but the relief of not having to live there is so so much better. The boys love our new house.

That's all for me today but if I end up taking pictures I will post them later. I wish I had my camera charged earlier because Walker did do the sweetest thing to Aden this morning. Walker was laying down on the floor and Aden went over to him and crawled on top of him so Walker hugged him and rocked him. He was singing Rock a bye baby to him and Aden laid his head on Walker's chest. It was just priceless to see. I love my two monkeys!!!!

Bath after cake.

The cake

Where does time go? I realized that I posted pictures of Aden's birthday but not of his party and that was almost two months ago!!! Oh well, here are pictures of Aden's birthday party ~ enjoy.

Great Soup

I tried this last week and loved it. I have never made soup before even though this is more like chili but Josh and I really liked it.

Taco Soup

2 lbs of lean ground beef

(I'm sure you can use ground turkey or chicken)

2 cans stewed tomatoes

1 can Ro-tel tomatoes with chilies

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing

1/2 cup of barley ( I didn't use this)

1 (16oz) can whole kernel corn

1 (16oz) can pinto beans

1 (16oz) can kidney beans

1 (16oz) can Bush's white hominy (it's near the corn)

1 can of cream corn

Do not drain any cans. Brown lean ground beef and drain; put into pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and 2 cups of water. More water may be added at any time to make the soup the way you like it. Cook in crock pot on HIGH for 1 hour. Cook on low 2 hours or more.

I cooked this on the stove on high for about 45 minutes and then on low for about 30 and it was very good!! We also put crushed corn chips on top with cheese and sour cream. Yummy!

I hope that you will try this and enjoy it as much as we did.

Bath Time with the Boys

My boys love their baths every night and can't go to bed without getting one.
