Bible in a Year

My goal this year was to actually read the Bible from beginning to end in a year. I have to admit it is hard sometimes, but honestly I have read more of the Bible this year since I made this commitment, than I ever have in my entire lifetime!

My sweetie ordered me this Bible after I gave him a One Year Bible for Christmas. I couldn't wait for it to arrive and it's finally here! I love the leather bound cover, the pretty pink flowers... it is just perfect for me!

I am so excited to make good on my commitment on reading through the Bible this year. Now if only I can be more diciplined on my journal writing and reflections ;-P

Our version of Picadillo!

I made my own version of Picadillo today and it was a HIT! I've never seen Lil G eat so well before! So I thought I would take a picture and Blog this since it is not often that I throw things together and it becomes a Grand Slam. So here goes:

Ingredients
1 lb of ground beef
1 tomato
1/2 of yellow onion
1 garlic clove
1 green pepper
1/2 bag of baby carrots
1/2 bag of frozen green beans
1/2 can of tomato sauce
White Rice for side
Avocado for garnish (yum!)

1. Saute green pepper, onion, garlic, tomato.
2. Add ground beef and cook through
3. Add 1tsp or 2 of salt
4. Meanwhile chop the green beans and carrots and throw in a pot of salted water to boil
5. Once green beans and carrots cook through, drain
6. Mix together the meat mixture with the green beans and carrots and add the tomato sauce.

Serve with Rice and avocado!

Preschool Painting

I had Lil Dude paint today. It made me cringe to get it all set up but it wasn't bad at all! He was content while Lil G did his homework and I am so amazed at his artistic abilities! Go mama! Another successful homeschool day!

Lil G's First Soccer Game of the year

Lil G was so nervous for his first soccer game. I am sooo proud of him!

Missing Teeth

Lil Dude got his teeth pulled out today! I think he looks so adorable with the missing two front teeth!

Lil G's 7th Birthday Party - Ben 10

Talk about the coolest most awesome birthday party we ever pulled together! We had a hot dog cart, huge 3 combo jumper and slide, and lots of games. I think my favorite part of the whole paty was the Ben 10 customized cake. We custom ordered it and it is now featured on her blog!

Lil Dude's first day at the dentist!

This is Lil Dude's first time at the dentist. I thought he looked so cute with his sunglasses on! He did SOOO incredibly well.
