Being Partial...

I know I am quite partial to my little stinker.... BUT, I am {simply put} wildly in love.

The Kid's Got Rhythm

What can I say? He is his mother's child. Music comes on, and his body just moves on it's own. Sometiems it makes sense. Sometimes it is literally just bobbing along...

My Little Spring Baby

Today, my little stinker turns 11 months old. That means we are on the one-month countdown until his BIRTHDAY! Some days, I am just fine with this.... others, I am a basket case. Poor Cullen. Today is a good day. I am so excited to have a one-year-old son. Look at the pictures below....I mean, how can you not be okay with him getting older, when he is this FULL of personality!??!?

Warning: Do NOT Try These At Home.

I am a firm believer that if I make my bed, I will lie it.

I promised crock-pot meals this week, remember?? Well, night one, we had ham casserole (in the freezer from a couple weeks ago) because we didn't prep crock-pot meal #1. Tuesday morning we prepped for chicken and dumplings. GUESS WHAT? They were TERRIBLE. In fact, so terrible, I wouldn't have (and didn't) feed them to my dogs!! We grabbed Chinese food. (What else are you to do when you have prepared for meals that take 8 hours to cook???) Tonight, we prepped and had BBQ Chicken crock-pot. Cullen claims he liked it. I am not sure if that is him being kind or if he has bad taste buds. Also an utter fail. So, tomorrow is Thursday. I guess here is to trying AGAIN to get it right.

So, what is the message? Don't try the crock-pot meals I posted, unless you are starving, haven't eating in weeks and are willing to sacrifice sustenance to taste. :)

Lenting - This week's menu.

SO, this week, we are doing nothing but crock-pot meals. YUMM. A few are experimental, and could go either way.....but, Here is to trying new things.

Monday: Fiesta Chicken
Tuesday: Chicken and Dumplings
Wednesday: Beef and Broccoli Soup
Thursday: Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
Friday: Dinner in Austin for my nephew's birthday!!!!!!!
Saturday: In Fredericksburg, for my cousin's co-ed wedding shower!

There are a few meals on the back burner just in case I cannot find the time to prep the crock-pot meals a night early. SO, there WILL BE NO EATING OUT THIS WEEK.

Yes, you read that right; we ate out. We caved. We are suckers.
