Water Fights

Today Joe came home early.. They didn't have any work as the company didn't have the parts they needed.. So we got extra time with him today! It was very nice!

Our little ritual with our girls has been getting their ears pierced for their 'first birthday' so Joe, Lily, Nathan and I went up to the Burnsville mall to get Lily's ears pierced!! Before she had to do anything, I filled out this awfully long form so she could have the piercings done.. After I was finished with that, I picked Lily up and she spotted a teddy bear that they had sitting in the chair. She would lean away from me towards the bear and give it 'kisses' (making the *muah* sounds with her mouth hanging open is how she 'kisses'). It was all too cute! It made me want to buy her a teddy bear before we left but I didn't. Once the gal working got her little piercing guns ready we got up in the chair and I got Lily in the "lock down" position. She was such a champ!!


Lillian & her pierced ears

More laundry talk: I got two more baskets emptied today! :-D Oh and I filled up Nathan's little dresser by doing so!! It really is a little dresser! Four drawers that are not tall or long or wide.. Maybe one you could use for under grunders.. Or of the sort.. Anyways it will work for now for Nathan's little clothes! :)

After dinner we took the kids down to the water fights! I had never been to water fights before so it was kind of neat! They had three or four fire departments participating.. If you havent heard of this or havent ever been to a water fight, its a bunch of fire fighters spraying this big metal drum back and forth trying to get it on the other teams side. Lily was absolutely terrified of being there! I think the big metal drum banging around is what was scarring her.. I got some good pictures of everyone there! Which again will have to get posted once I get to wi-fi.. I hope to do that soon!




Debbie & Nathan





Lillian was very excited to watch the firefighters setting up and getting ready!




And once the water fights started she was terrified




Kaylee, Joe, Lily, & Natatlie



This is short and sweet as I'm tired and Nathan is refusing to go to sleep so I need to figure out what he needs to help him get to sleep..

Marry Me Meatballs

 I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is.  Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped  1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder  Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach  Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

 Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal!  Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice  1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded  1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms  Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Oh man! This side dish is absolutely one we will be keeping around! It’d be really good on the smoker too! I do feel like it’s missing some seasonings so the next go around we will play with adding in some smoked paprika and garlic too!  Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients   8 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced 2 medium onion, sliced into rings salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese   Directions   Gather all ingredients.

Gradually whisk in flour and salt and cook, whisking constantly until raw flour flavor has cooked off, abo...
