Happy thursday!

So far this day is off to a great start, sans coffee and all. Taveon got up and ready in good time. Damon has only had 2 meltdowns. Isla is sitting with her blankie, sucking her little thumb. Let's hope the day continues along this path.

I sit here watching noggin with Damon. I have to ask, what in the world is up with DJ Lance Rock from Yo Gabba Gabba? This guy seriously creeps me out. Is it his outfit? His dance moves? His crazy smile? Check, check, check. It is all of the above. If you have NO idea who I am talking about, well then I think you are lucky but I will share him with you. I read another blog once where the guy described "Muno" (the tall red bumpy character as a red nobby di**o. You fill in the blank. Whenever I see this show now that is all I can think of when that guy starts dancing around. I need help, I know. Unfortunately, Damon loves this show so I am subjected to it daily. It will probably haunt me well into my 80s.

Onto an even more fun subject. I had to go to the dr yesterday for an exam. As I am laying there he tells me to scoot forward on the table and he motions his hands like come forward more, more, ok. You ladies all know what I am talking about here! Why did I feel like I was pulling into a bay for an oil change? I told him that and I am pretty sure he was laughing inside even if on the outside he looked at me partly crazy lol

My facebook friends have already seen this but I will share for those of you who have not. Last night Taveon asked us if there is a mcdonalds in heaven. He was so serious. Shaun said everything in heaven is so much better than anything here and anything you could imagine. Taveon's reply? "Oh ok so they have another version of mcdonalds". I had to chuckle at that. 

On the subject of Taveon. He was recently tested for the gifted program at school. He passed! What a smart little guy we are blessed with. I pray that he continues to work hard and enjoy school. Makes me one happy momma. 

TTFN :)

Slacking over here

I am so sorry. I have completely been slacking on my blog. I'm sure I have a ton to write about so bear with me if my thoughts go from this to that :)

My "little" baby is 5 months old already! HOW in the world did that happen? I feel like just yesterday I was sitting up all night full of anxiety, waiting to drive to the hospital for my c-section. But, she is growing so beautifully and is so healthy and sweet. I am blessed for that. 

I am sure I have a ton of funny kid stories since I last posted on here. The one that stands out in my mind would be this one... Last week Taveon fell asleep on the couch. I start going through his backpack and find his underwear in a  baggy. I think what in the world? I wake him and ask him "why are you still wearing your jeans if you peed your pants?" He raises his head and says "I didn't pee! I JUST sharted!" Shaun just puts his hands up over his face and says please tell me you did NOT say that to your teacher. Well of course he did. I had to hide around the corner and laugh but seriously... how embarrassing!

Nothing very exciting has been happening. That's ok, I like calm and boring for the most part though :) We did find out that Shaun's work contract will be renewed! That is great news for us. Also, we went on our first double date in years! My friend Kaile and her husband went to see a movie with us. That was refreshing. Isla even took a bottle for grandma, SUCCESS!

Well I have 2 fussy sick babies today. So This has to be cut short. I am going to do my best to post a few times a week from now on. Maybe even daily but there are no promises on daily!

I will share my new favorite recipe before I go!

Bean nachos:

1 can black beans drained and rinsed

1 can pinto beans drained and rinsed

1/2lb shredded cheese (I used the mexican blend)

Restaurant style tortilla chips

Small can of sliced olives

Salsa

Sour cream

Guacamole

Pre heat oven to 350

Cover pan in foil (I used my pizza stone)

Empty both cans of beans into a sauce pan and heat them

Spread your chips out over the foil. Pour beans over chips. Sprinkle with the cheese. Then sprinkle with olives.

Place in the oven until cheese is melted. This took 5 minutes or less.

Remove from over. Top with sour cream, salsa, guacamole. 

ENJOY!
