Short & Sweet..

We have been offline for a while now.. But.... WE ARE BACK ON! Hooray for air cards! Here is a quick update on the family.
 
Joe had an interview in Owatonna. We are waiting on a call back for a second interview. He has also gone in for some 'testing' in Bloomington for a job at Ziegler Caterpillar in Shakopee.. (wouldnt THAT be awesome!) He has also been having meetings up in Brooklyn Park for the new line that they are starting him on. This is a big thing for him as far as we know.. Brooklyn Park believes that they will be doing another hirring round come January! (Bring on 2011!)
 
Kaylee is liking her new Girl Scout troop! I enjoy having the ONE hour meeting on Monday nights versus the almost two hours that we did on Sundays with the other troop.. But I will admit, I miss the other girls, their moms (minus one in particular), and the troop leaders! Its tough going from a group of people that you have spent the past two years with to going to a new group of people and not knowing anyone.. Minus Kaylee's friend Kelsy and her mom Becky.. :o) School is going well for her this year again. We have our first round of conferences on Tuesday! Her teacher is pregnant! I believe that she said that she was due in May. This is the second of three teachers that kaylee has had that has been pregnant.
 
Natalie is now four!!! She celebrated her birthday in style this year! Trick or treating and all! We had her birthday party on Halloween at Lori & Goobers house. After her party Kimmy and I took the girls to the Eden Prairie mall for an hour of trick or treating.. then we came back and went to Carver and I took the older two girls out through town there. They came home with a big bag full of candy each! Natalie loves preschool! She is growing up so much already!
 
Lillian is 15 months! She made a trip to urgent care last night.. An ear infection! Blah! She is also cutting more teeth! Molars again so she has the runs.. (yeah TMI I know!) and a very sore bum.. She has the sweetest smile I have ever seen! I cant believe that she is growing up so quickly! They all are, but I think the baby stage flies by the fastest..
 
Nathan, well he is 4 months old! And batteling his first ever cold right now.. Poor little guy even had to go in for his 4-month well check on Wednesday (while he didnt feel good) and get his shots! :( I could have cried with the poor little guy! He weighed in at 16lbs and measured at 26 1/2 inches. In those tile markings, he is in the 95% tile.. His head is smaller though.. 50%..
 
We have family pictures!! Yup! We went down to Graddy Photography in New Prague. Some of the pictures were GREAT, others... not so great.. It didnt help that my kids were VERY uncomfortable.. They are not used to going in for pictures.. and Lily is at the age that she wont sit still for anything SO... you get the idea.. Haha!
 
Anyways.. that is going to have to be it for now.. I am tired and not feeling well! Here are a few pictures to keep you entertained until later..

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.

Layer onion slices over top, then top with remaining potatoes. Season again with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour and salt and cook, whisking constantly until raw flour flavor has cooked off, abo...
