CHASE IS 17!!

Chase had a birthday and we got him a cake and had just family and Amanda(who is like family).

He never has wanted a big deal made over his birthday. He is a very low keyed kinda person. He is a senior this year and will be graduating soon. I can't believe it. He is such a good boy and has not give us a minute of trouble. I love you son. Happy Birthday!!

SUPER SLOPPY JOES!!!!

This is the sauce I use for my Sloppy Joe's. However, after I fix per the directions on the can. I spoon onto the Buns and top with Swiss Cheese or any other you might like, I wrap them in foil and put in the oven to heat and melt the cheese. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes. I already have the oven on, because when I make this I bake Ore Ida crinkle cut fries in the oven. So I time it so the sandwiches and fries come out of the oven at the same time. They are very messy to eat but OH so good. If you toast the buns first they are not as soggy.

God Bless Our Troops!

Our local national guardsmen came home last Friday after a tour in Iraq. The town turned out to welcome them home by decorating our businesses and waving flags as they came in to town. They had a police escort and a large following of cars and motorcycles. We are so blessed to have brave men and women that put themselves in harms way and give up their lives to give us the freedom that we enjoy (and sometimes take for granted) We should never forget that there is someones father, brother, son, mother, sister or daughter that is giving their all to protect our great country!!! This is the greatest country in the world. We need to keep God first and everything else will fall into place(God's Plan may not be our plan)

Menu Plan Monday!!

Last week went well. I had to switch a day or two. But it was because I was too tired to cook one evening. I had a late day. I like how it is working out. I am looking for some new recipes to try. Something easy that I can cook in the Crock Pot. That is the best for me. I can come home and put a few things together or better yet have the whole meal in the Crock Pot.

Kelly's Surgery!

Kelly's surgery went well. I would have blogged sooner, but I have been helping out with Tootie. She is a handful with two good hands and Kelly is one handed right now. The doctor removed all of the cyst. It was sent off(this is standard procedure). She is still in a lot of pain and had to change her pain meds. Kelly does not like taking anything. She got home about 3:00 on Wednesday and was feeling really sick to her stomach. They did put her to sleep and we did not think they were going to do that. Dr. Antwine was wonderful. She really liked him. She will be in a cast for two weeks and then has to go back and let them take the stitches out. Tootie had been to the doctor on Tuesday and was running fever with an ear infection. So here she was sick and Kelly having to have surgery. She did not want to leave Tootie with her being sick. I sat with her and we did just fine. We are like "Peas and Carrots"! She would not take a nap for me, but, Heck, we were havin' too much fun!!!

Keep Kelly in your prayers. She is wondering how she will manage with only one hand. I told her she will be surprised at what she will be able to do..

My Precious Girls!!!

Here are my two "babies". I will be keeping Tootie tomorrow while Kelly goes to Jackson for the surgery on her wrist. She is hoping to be back by noon, if all goes as planned. She does not seem to be worried about it. It's only "Minor" surgery if it is happening to someone else. She is not going to be put to sleep, they will just numb her arm from her elbow down. I hope she does not have a lot of pain from it. She will be in a permanent splint for 2 weeks. Please keep her in your prayers. We will all be around to help. That's what Grandmas and Grandpas do. I will let you know how it goes. Kelly will be bloggin' really slow one handed;-D
