Finally Fall

I don't know about anyone else but I have been longing for fall weather. We went from 90 degrees to about 40 overnight it seems like. But finally it is here. The leaves have fallen the crispness is in the air and I am enjoying every minute of it. Granted the weatherman says that next week it will be in the 40's again but I am enjoying the weather for now.

It is amazing what can happen with a pile of leaves and three kids.

My Fearless Son

Check out one of Paul's favorite things.

This little kid is SO fun. He doesn't limit his jumps to just pillows either. Every morning our kids start their days by wrestling each other. I will have to get some video of that for you.

Chicken Torpedoes

So a little while ago Scott went down to Texas for the BYU Oklahoma game. GO COUGARS! And after coming back he raved about what he had at a restaurant down in Texas so what did he do? That's right he made up a recipe to eat it. He had something called Chicken Cigars but I figured if we were going to put them into our recipe rotation I wanted to call them something else so low and behold...Chicken Torpedoes.

Here's what he did

Put

Shredded Chicken

chopped sun dried tomatoes

chopped jalapeno slices

parmesan cheese

shredded cheese

some seasonings

and a little bit of ranch to hold it all together

in to a partially cooked flour tortilla

Then we flash fried it to make it crispy.

He also made a three cheese ranch to dip them in. I couldn't begin to tell you how to make that.

Then as a side dish he made these mashed potatoes with

potato

corn

sun dried tomato

red bell peppers

jalapeno

seasonings

If you want actual amounts I am sorry, he just kind of throws things together.

Scott said it tasted just like the restaurant food. If you are looking for something new to try, these were SUPER GOOD! Here are some pictures of his creation.

Happy Birthday Katie!!!

Katie turned 3 on September 28! It was so much fun. She went around the house all day saying I'm Three, I'm Three. But the greatest part was when she started singing the birthday song to herself. We had a fun evening as a family. Oh how we love our little, big girl!

St Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration

I ran a 5k this morning. It was a lot of fun. Apparently it is one of the largest 5k's in the nation. There was over 11,000 women there. Scott got to Emcee the event and I got some good pictures, enjoy!

Scott was dancing to all of these songs. I have NEVER seen Scott dance like this.

Gives you a little glimpse of what it was.
Doing what he does best. :)

Our Little NutMeg!

Time for a little Megan Update.

First's that have been accomplished:

-can survive the mauling from the siblings

-rolled over

-smiles like crazy

-laughed out loud

-cooing is a daily occurrence

-slept for 5 hours straight

-can track things with her eyes

It is crazy to me to see how fast things change. I look at the pictures I have posted and she doesn't look like that anymore. She is growing every day.

I couldn't resist putting this one in.

Here is what happens when we ask Paul to smile...You gotta love him!
