Welcome Mason!(A week late!)

June 16 at 11:17 am, Sara and James welcomed Mason William into the world. I'm glad to have another baby in the family to love on and so are the kids! Cody adores Mason and loves when he sticks out his tongue. They constantly ask when we're going to see him next and he hasn't been here a whole week yet! Congratulations Sara and James, you're going to be great parents! I would have put this up sooner but I wanted to include a picture and kept forgetting my camera.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there, especially the new one dad's like James! I am extremely lucky to have found someone like Scott to have kids with. He is a great dad and loves being home with them. Scott always comes right home after work so he can see the kids and is great with them! Scott is a good match for me because he lets the kids be kids while I make sure they don't do too many crazy things so they stay healthy!

I also want to wish a happy father's day to the Grandpa's in our kids lives! They are even better at letting the kids be kids because they don't have rules with Grandpa! My dad is Cody's buddy and both kids love looking and playing on firetrucks with them. Scott's dad is their playmate. Every time we go to their house, the adults stay upstairs and the kids and Grandpa go play in the basement. Thanks Dad's for being such great Grandpa's to my kids!

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Today is my dad's birthday and I just want to wish him a happy birthday! Cody and my dad are hilarious together. Cody has called my dad Buddy for at least the last 3 years. It's so cute to watch the 2 of them play together! Thanks Dad for providing my kids a playmate and someone to love firetrucks with! Hope you have a good day!!

Pampered Chef Chicken Broccoli Wreath

12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves)
1 C. broccoli, chopped
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped(I never put this in)
1 clove garlic, pressed
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/3 C. mayonnaise-or as little as you can use to stick it together
2 tsp. All-purpose Dill Mix (or 1 teaspoon dill weed)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 T. slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Chop chicken and broccoli and place in bowl. Add chopped red bell pepper. Press garlic over mixture and shred cheese over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill mix and salt. Mix well.

Unroll crescent rolls and arrange triangles in a circle on a 15" baking stone with the bases overlapping in center and points toward the outside. Scoop filling mixture onto widest portion of each triangle. Fold points of triangle over filling and tuck under base at center. (Filling will not be completely covered.) Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve warm.


I served this at Sara's shower and some of the people wanted the recipe. Here's it is Sarah!!
