New Recipe Tex-Mex Potato Casserole

Last night I made a new recipe and it was so easy and my entire family loved it.   So I thought I would share.  It’s rare to find a meal that all 4 of us eat and the kids cleaned their plates.  Ashlyn went back for seconds. 

This is the recipe http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/velveeta-tex-mex-beef-potatoes-69173.aspx?tab=recipe

I made some minor changes to it.   I added 1 can pinto beans, I used shredded Velveeta 1 bag (2 cups)  can’t have too much cheese! Smile  

I also added crushed Frito’s on the top for some crunch and a little Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese on top of that and baked it like the instructions say. 

It was very good.  Trever and I topped ours with Sour Cream. 

Enjoy!

Long Time since a post...

We are alive and well.   Sorry I have not had a lot of time to blog.   I do miss it though so maybe I will try and get better again. 

I registered Ashlyn for Kindergarten this week.   Class of 2024!!!  It was fun she is so excited and ready.  Ryan thinks he is ready also.  He doesn't understand why he cannot go.  He is not "Little" he is a "Big Boy" 

My job is going good.  I do really like it and have my first closing on May 4th.   So excited.  Now to just get a few more! :)   Trever is doing great at his new job as well.   It's all been a big adjustment for us.  

We did get Bluebonnet pictures taken last Saturday.   I will be posting them when I get them back.  However the kids did get school pictures taken I only bought a couple since we did Bluebonnets.

Ashlyn 5 & Ryan 3


Today on the way to school I had this conversation with Ryan

R "Mommy did God make everything"
M:  "Yes"
R: " He must be tired"
Ashlyn chimes in a very annoyed voice "Ryan God does not sleep because he is always watching us"
R: "I know Ashlyn, I was just saying he must be tired, everyone can get tired even God!  Right Mommy"
M:  "Yes you are both right!" 
Ryan, "See I told you so" 

He already has to make sure he is right about stuff!   Oh Boy!

Happy 3rd Birthday Ryan

Where does the time go???  I cannot believe my baby boy is 3.   If you ask him he will tell you he is 4 though.    He is such a big boy with a vocabulary of a 6 year old.   

Boy does times change…

Let the fun continue another year!

Silly things from the 2 year old...

I can't believe it but tomorrow Ryan turns 3!! where does the time go. 

Anyway we made Brownie football's (and by we I mean My Mom) for Ryan to take to school today.    I had put them in individual bags.   So right after the kids were all done eating Ms. Misi and Ms. Linda said to the kids.  Since the brownie are individually wrapped we will just send them home with you.   Ryan looks at them and said "Well what did I bring them for!"  HA!  They said the looked at each other and said.  Your are right and they had their brownies!  HAHA!!

Ryan is into wearing clothes to bed.  And not soft comfy clothes at that.  So while my Mom and Dad were in town we were eating dinner and my Mom said "We are going to have to get up and get around in the morning since you guys have school"   Ryan looks at her and said "Are you just going to wear that shirt to bed so you will be dress and ready to go in the morning" Needless to say Mom and I started laughing until we cried!  

If you ask him how old he is going to be tomorrow he says 4 and if you tell him 3 he gets mad at you!

Ryan's Interesting Day at School Thursday..

Oh BOY!!!  Have a said that enough latley as it relates to Ryan.   He will be 3 one week from Today and I think I am already scared of what is to come when he is older.   

As most of you know I grew up with a Sister.  No Boy's around.  When I found I was was having a boy I was excited and scared all at the same time.   NOW I am seeing already why I was scared!  I love him to the moon and back but OH BOY!!!  

So I picked him up at school yesterday and his teacher Mrs Misi was laughing and her face was Bright Red.   She said well we had an interesting day today with Ryan:  Me in a panic thinking oh my what did he do...

Ryan was playing in the corner with Hailey (His other teachers Granddaughter) and they didn't know exactly what happend but they looked over and Ryan had his pants unbuttoned and part way down.   (Me trying not to laugh and thinking great at 3 I already have to worry about this.. where did we go wrong- ha)  So they went and got him and think she only saw underware.  She told him that we can't do that and he has to leave his pants on.   Then a few  minutes later he goes to the bathroom and before they could get back in there (It's right in the room) like they always do to pull his pants up he comes out with his pants and underware completely off and bends over and moons the entire class and laughs uncontrollably.   Then in only Ryan style threw a fit when they put his pants back on  (We do have this issue at home).   So I am holding Ryan while she is telling me this and he buries his head into my shoulder and says "Mommy stop don't look at me, I am a good boy" 

So later that night I brought it up to him again and he informed me that him and Hailey were playing Doctor!!!    So yes we had the conversation about privates.   

OH BOY!!!  I think "3" is going to be an interesting year.
