Menu for This Week

So we are AWFUL about going out to eat...just awful. I am embarrassed to say how much we eat out. To try to stop eating out so much, I have decided to sit down at the beginning of each week and plan out the menu for the week. I started this week, and so far we are doing great! Yes, I realize it's only Tuesday...ha.

Anyway, here's what we are eating for the week (I only planned dinners because we usually tend to ourselves/eat leftovers for lunch):

Monday: Leftover Red Beans and Rice from Sunday.
Tuesday: Pork Chops, Homemade mac and cheese, and crescent rolls.
Wedneday: Church dinner
Thursday: Breakfast casserole
Friday: Leftover breakfast casserole
Saturday: Out of town.
Sunday: Spaghetti

I'll let you know how this goes :)

Wallpaper and Painting

We painted our dining room last night and started taking down wallpaper in the kitchen. I think Keith will tell you that wallpaper is from the devil! He was up until about 3 this morning taking it down, and still has about a fourth of the kitchen to finish. As soon as he finishes that, I plan on painting the kitchen....any color suggestions???

We made it back yesterday from visiting my family. We had such a good time (as always). Wednesday night, we went to Paula Deen's restaurant in Tunica...It was great. I will definately eat there again. Thursday, we just relaxed around the house, and Thursday night we ate dinner at the house. We left after lunch yesterday, and my dad's plane left for Montana at 6 this morning....so sad. However, he only has 6 weeks until he will be home for good....hooray! For those of you who don't know, my dad is the principal at a school in Montana...My mom taught there last year, but didn't want to teach this year, so she has been spending time here and in Montana.

Well, I hope everyone has a great day!

Easter 2009

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Ava's friend, Caleb, is 1 today! His mom, Elizabeth, and I went to college together and have stayed really good friends ever since! It is so cool to me that we have children so close in age. This picture is from his "farm" birthday party Saturday! We had a great time! Happy Birthday sweet Caleb!

In other news, we have been busy! Easter was great, and Ava looked beautiful in her dress. I will have to post pictures soon! We are getting new floors tomorrow, so I have been trying to get the house ready for that. Ava and I will go to Pope to my parents' house tomorrow, and Keith will join us Thursday! Tomorrow is my birthday, so my mom ordered a birthday cake for me to have when I get there...I LOVE birthday cake...it is a major weakness of mine!

Tonight, I am getting together with some girls from our church for "girls' night." We are having a Mexican Theme complete with lots of food and bunko! I am so excited--I had a bunko group in Belzoni, and I am glad we have decided to get a group together once a month here. It will be fun!

Well, I am finished rambling for today! I hope everyone has a great afternoon.

Church Egg Hunt

We went to the egg hunt at our church last weekend! Even though Ava didn't actually hunt eggs, we had a lot of fun. There was a petting zoo with baby goats and bunnies--Ava wasn't too sure of them! She still had a lot of fun, though!

11 Months

Ava is 11 months old today! Wow! I can't believe it....I don't know where time goes.

*She is now crawling EVERYWHERE pulling up on EVERYTHING! It keeps Keith and me busy, but it is so much fun.
*She can wave and say "bye bye"!
*Loves to clap!
*Still LOVES her puffs!
*She has said "mama" a few times, but still likes to say "dada" better :)
*Going out to eat has gotten a little hard! She can get VERY loud!
*One of her favorite games is dropping something from her highchair and making one of us pick it up.
*She loves to squeal.
*Her favorite toys are her singing nursery rhyme book, her "playhouse", and her singing chair/desk! She squeals and gets SO excited everytime we get them out for her!
*Loves digging in her toybox to find fun toys!

She is doing lots of other fun things, but that is really all I can think of for now. I will try to post some 11 month pictures soon!

Hope everyone is doing great!
