HAPPY FRIDAY!

Happy Friday everyone! I am dragging this morning since I did not get home till after midnight. Last night I went to see the play Mary Popins with some of the girls. The performance was amazing, and the special effects were unbelievable. It is defiantly a must see! Today we head to College Station for football once again! Halloween night we are going to a party, and Amber, Morgan and I are dressing up as the Kardashian sisters. I will post pictures later. HAVE A HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

WHOA WHOA YA YA OOOOOOO.....

Odd title isn't it? I will explain! This weekend we went to Boerne for my Dad's 61 birthday...I know, I know he doesn't look a day past 30! We left Friday morning and my Mom rode with Dustin, the dogs, and myself. Courtney and Ryder joined us later Friday afternoon, to start the birthday celebration. We rode around later Friday on the RTV to look at the animals, and this is what came out of little Ryder's mouth....WHOA WHOA YA YA...OOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He is becoming so verbal, and starting to repeat EVERYTHING you say! He is into everything and always on the go...unless you are riding on the RTV where he sees the animals and points. It was so cute, and it's exciting to watch him grow into an adorable young man! I guess I should explain the "ya ya" part. He has a doggie named Lila, and he calls her "ya ya". Not just Lila is "ya ya", anything that is on 4 legs and has fur is a "ya ya". Saturday we got up and did some work around the house. Mostly this weekend we relaxed, drank Lonestar Light, and watched football...it was wonderful! Happy 61 Birthday Dad, hope it was a good one! This week Dustin is heading into Lufkin to work, and I am staying here working. He will be taking Trigger with him again, and I apologize to Grandma and Grandpa Clark in advance for anything he does. Last week he tore up Grandma's rug. What are we going to do with him?? This weekend we are off to College Station for A&M football and Halloween. Keep up with us if you can!

Supper Club Recipes

So before I forget, here are the recipes from tonight!!

Mexican Chicken Spaghetti...I made it low fat, but if you wanna fatten it up feel free

1 lb. Chicken breast (or 3 breasts)
one box of wheat or low carb spaghetti noodles
1 lb. of 2% Velveeta
1 can cream of chicken
1 can rotelle (half drained)
1 small can of black olives (drained)
1/2 an onion
chopped pickled jalapenos
16oz chicken broth

boil the chicken broth and chicken breasts for 30 min. Take chicken breasts out and chop into small chunks, and boil the noodles in the same broth/water combo. In a sauce pan melt the Velveeta and cream of chicken. Add the rotelle, black olives, onion, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and jalapenos. I added some of the broth from the noodles to so it would not be so dry. Mix noodles, chicken and cheese mixture together. Bake for 30 minutes on 350, and add shredded cheese to the top at the end.

Pumpkin Dump Cake

30oz canned pumpkin puree
12oz evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup light butter

Mix the first 6 ingredients together. In a 9x13 greased pan pour pumpkin batter, and sprinkle yellow cake mix on top. Add pecans, and pour melted butter on top. Bake in the oven at 350 for 50 minutes. YUM!

Supper Club

Some of my friends and I do a supper club about once a month on Wednesdays. This week is my week, and I decided to go with a Halloween theme. I plan on using Dustin and my carved pumpkins as the center pieces, and making some really yummy grub! I am making a Mexican chicken spaghetti, pumpkin seed salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and my Mom's pumpkin dump cake! I will post the recipes after our dinner tomorrow for all of you to try! Cross your fingers it is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

It has been awhile!

I know I am the worst blogger in the history of bloggers at this point. We have been super busy between Aggie football, and every other thing we do on the weekends. We are definitely the on the go couple! We have had a great time though! This week Dustin went to go work in Lufkin with his Dad, so me and Mills are hanging out at my parents. I am sure Grandma and Grandpa are LOVING the fact that Dustin brought crazy man Trigger home with him!

Speaking of crazy man...Trigger and Millie went to the vet for their yearly exam, and big shocker Trigger lost weight. We have tried EVERYTHING, this boy will just not put on weight. We are trying something new and feeding him soft dog food with his dry (thanks Amber for the idea), and it seems to be working. He loves it! I am just waiting for the day he figures out it is dog food, and stops eating it! Millie also had another scare. Her heartworm test came back a slight positive. We had to go back and take another test, and they assured us everything is fine and she is heartworm free.

I love fall time! The cool weather, the smell, the pumpkins and other fall decorations....The weather has been so nice we have been leaving our windows and doors open! Here is a picture of Trigger this weekend fighting outside with his bear. He wanted his bear to enjoy the nice weather outside too!


Dustin and I carved pumpkins Sunday afternoon with our neighbors Steven, Millicent, and Junior. I am allergic to pumpkins, and break out into a rash all over my body...soooo I got to wear super cool yellow gloves to carve mine. Dustin did a block A&M and I carved a bat. It was a lot of fun, and I am rash free...thanks to my gloves!
