An Update...

I crack up when I get the "what's wrong, you're not blogging" e-mails :)

Nothing wrong - just haven't gotten to "here" in a while.

We've done a lot though:

We were at Mimi's the other day and Raina ran to the back door, opened up and then yelled "I see sumpin!" When we went out...a balloon was very VERY close to the ground going right over Mimi's house attempting to land.



Then we had "tent night"....made them the mansions of tents with a east and west wing ;)


Angels!


I'm getting rid of the bed in our playroom - it's taking up too much space and our couch makes out into a bed if need be...so my cousin's coming to get it on Wednesday night....YAY! But to lose bed means losing my "stuffed animal storage space" so we went to Big Lots and got a book case to match the one already in there.

Brody is Daddy's BIG helper!


Raina LOVES her furry brother Hooch....and thank goodness he loves her even when she's
putting Disney Princess Glitter Gloss on him :)


Hold still Bubba

Sweet Girl


Church on Sunday....been a while since I've made them take pictures and we had time to kill.....
We're growing Brody's hair out for Winter....kinda awkward stage at the moment...ha ha!

Daddy's girl

1st try....score!

loves my girl!

awwww.....Lovies......

had to have Baby Ally and Woody in the shot....HAD TO!


I wasn't feel good on Sunday night - nauseated so I stayed on the couch watching the Cowboys...
...tickling Raina

....watching Brody play with his IKEA train

...and throwing the football like Romo (handsome boy!)


Today we've been a tad lazy....my ears been hurting all day and I become a COMPLETE wuss on sore throats and earaches....LOL!!! But sis thought she'd clean for me :)


We've also watched some movies....we watched Grand Turino the other night....FABULOUS! I sat and watched Atonement last night and bawled! We know they're both "older" but to be a movie "connoisseur" with 3 year old twins just ain't happening right now....thank goodness for Fios On Demand ;)

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Award Winning Salsa

Well…it won an award in my family 🤣 This blog has seen MANY salsa recipes. I LOVE salsa. I’m always trying to perfect my recipe so I tried some different things yesterday and BAM….I mean wowza BAM!!!! Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
