SEVEN MONTHS!!!

WOW!! I sure have been busy! Where has the time gone? Our summer was GO! GO!! GO!!! Here is a sampling of what we did ….. a pool party for the Fourth of July! You can see who lost here!!

Now that Butch has a local trucking job we were able to spend so much time together with the kids and other family members. It was a summer that had it shares of highs and a few lows, and I intend on scrapping them all. Until next time …. 

Godspeed

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Sausage Egg & Cheese Muffins

Had to make a few alterations to the original recipe to meet my dietary needs but they taste so delicious!

Cook, drain & cool -
10 oz. mild pork sausage

Add & mix together by hand until well blended -
4 oz. shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups of Mexican Style egg substitute
1/2 cup skim milk
3/4 cup baking mix (Bisquick, etc.)

Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Divide mixture evenly into muffin pan. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until set. Let them cool slightly, then carefully remove from pan.

Approx. 125 calories each! Yummy for breakfast or mid-day snack. ENJOY!

Snow Days!

 Max decided to watch from the inside!

 And Maggie was nose diving on the outside!

In all we received over 6" in all which is a
pretty substantial amount for this area.

The backyard was covered and drifted in white and
made everything so bright for nighttime.

And our little fir tree we planted in our front yard this 

past summer looked so cute decked out in white!

But, it all has disappeared now as the rain has made its presence known and melted it all 

away. It was fun while it lasted, but now its back to our normal wintertime weather. ;)

Yes, I still know how!

Although its been quite some time since I scrapped, I did manage the time for one a few weeks ago! It was fun mixing up some older papers (Basic Grey Sugar Rush) with newer stuff (washi tape) and using up some alpha stickers (including the numbers for letters) to create a really cute layout of Ruby in her new Hello Kitty outfit…...

I finally had our San Diego vacation photos processed, so maybe I'll get to some of those soon. Our pretty snow has turned into freezing rain, so since I'm homebound, maybe its a good day to start!

Godspeed

My baby boy is growing up so fast! Already weighs in at 10.2 lbs. and bossier than ever to his older sister, Allie-Kat! We received snow yesterday and he needed to check it out as I was shoveling, and here he is all tuckered out!

And as I type, the snow has started once again! Round TWO!
