It's a Beautiful Morning!

I woke up this morning and couldn't get that song "It's a Beautiful Morning" out of my head. I decided that Em and I would do something outside today. Yesterday we went to The Streets of Indian Lake and walked around. I thought that it would be fun to go play at the park. I realize she can't play just yet; but mommy can. Ha!

We went to the park and had a great time. Emma really enjoyed swinging in my lap. We came home and she took a nap and I cleaned our filthy windows. Wow, you can actually see out of them now! Windex used to be a good friend of mine before Emma. Ha!

I cooked one of my favorite meals for dinner tonight; Poppy Seed Chicken. It is so yummy! I am going to list the recipe below. I hope everyone has a great night! "The Duggars" come on at 8:00 and "The Forgotten" at 9:00. I am loving the new fall line-up!


Poppy Seed Chicken

4 Cooked Chicken Breasts

1 Large Can Creme of Chicken Soup (I use Lite Soup)

8 Ounces Sour Creme (I use Fat Free Sour Creme)

2 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds

1 Sleeve of Ritz Crackers

3 Tablespoons of Margarine or Butter

Mix the chicken, soup, sour creme, and poppy seeds together and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Melt the butter. Crush the sleeve of Ritz and pour the butter on top of the crackers.

Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the Ritz on top and bake for another 20 minutes.

Enjoy!!!!

I Heart Weekends!

I love weekends so, so, so much!!! I love my hubby being home. I think I take my sweetie for granted sometimes; I am so very blessed to have him. We had a really nice weekend. We went out with Andrew's family on Friday to celebrate my sis-in-laws B-day. We ate at Demos' and then went back to my in-laws house for pie. Judy (mom) made the best chocolate and coconut pies. I am on a low cal diet so I only had a little piece of chocolate; but let me tell you I could've eaten the whole thing! (On a side note I have lost ten pounds since starting my diet. Yay!)

Little miss Emma slept until 8:30 on Saturday without waking up once. What a good baby! The weather has been terrible so I wasn't feeling so good so we stayed home and didn't do much during the day. Andrew mopped the floors for me since my back was bothering me and he knows how anal I am if the floors go unmopped. We went out to dinner with my Granny and then came home and I actually got to watch an ENTIRE Lifetime movie. I think it is the first one I have watched without any interruptions since Emma was born. It was quite a treat!

My Granny went to church with us this morning. Andrew and I taught the 3 year olds today. They are so adorable at that age! Emma Grace is still not doing great in the nursery. I am not surprised since I stay home with her and play all day. She is so spoiled! We went to our small group tonight and that was our weekend. The weekends go by so fast! I hope you had a great weekend as well!!

Rain, rain, go away!

I have to say that I despise rainy days. I know that despise is such a strong word, but it is how I feel. It is so hard to get up when it's rainy and my hair always looks terrible. I don't think that I could live in Seattle. Ha!

Today is our little angel's 9 month check-up. I can't believe she is already 9 months old! Her first year is flying by. I am trying to plan out her b-day party. I think I am going to go with the "Poodle in Paris" theme. It is so cute.

I have definitely been slacking on the blogs, by the time I have a chance during the day to sit down and do it I just want to veg on the couch. Yesterday I went to the doctor and he helped me come up with a weight loss plan. I am so stoked about it. He said that if I follow his advise I should be able to loose all that I want in six months. I am not about to share how much I weigh , but I will say that my goal is to loose 45 pounds. Woohoo!

I had better get off here; I have a lot to get done before her doc appointment. I hope everyone has a Wonderful Wednesday!!!
