One Liners

My kids are constantly saying the funniest things.  They are at that age where there really isn't a filter on what they say and they see the world in black and white.  Everytime they say something that makes me laugh (or cry) I tell myself I need to write it down so I don't forget. Well, I am FINALLY getting around to it.  I am just going to keep this post as an ongoing list of things that the kids say that I feel need to be remembered thru the years.  Who knows, I could use their words against them when they are teenagers....

Livy: We are going to the circus afro!!!!! (Comment made when told that we were going to the circus that day. Watch Madagascar 3 for the humor in this statement)

Kiley: Mommy, I'm just thinking of my boyfriend right now. I am thinking I am kissing him.

Livy: Mommy, I really miss aunt Jenny cuz she would go to lunch with us cuz she was your best friend. But she's dead now. It's a good thing your other friends aren't dead.

Kiley: Mommy, do you like kissing daddy?

Livy: When I grow up I'm going to be a nice mommy and let my children have treats.

Kiley: When can I go live with my foster family. (since we do foster care she thinks that all kids go and live with foster families and then go home. She also has lots of stories to tell about her foster mom and dad.) 

Livy: (After I came in the room and startled her) Mommy, sometimes you just freak me out!

Kiley: (Crying) The baby in my tummy is kicking my back

Max's 1st Birthday

So Max turned 1......almost 2 months ago.  I am finally getting around to posting his birthday pictures.  Before you know it, the girls will be turning 5 and I don't want to be that far behind.

Breakfast Casserole

So I thot I would share one of our family favorites.  It is great for "breakfast for dinner" type meals. It also is a great thing to share with others (new baby, illness) or to a brunch. 

Here is what you will need:

8 eggs (sometimes I want it a bit thicker and use 10)

3 cups of shredded cheese

4Tb Milk

1lb Sausage

1 package refrig. cresent rolls

Preheat oven to 350.  In a skillet, brown the sausage, drain and set aside. 

In a bowl beat the eggs and milk. Mix in 1.5-2 cups of cheese. (The cheese here is to taste.  If you don't want this much cheese then don't add it.  I like lots of cheese) You can also add salt and pepper here to taste. Oh, and I have had versions of this that add a small can of green chiles. Gives it that southwest feel.



Next, open the package of cresent rolls and spread them out in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. I use baking spray on the bottom first to prevent sticking. Make sure to close all the seams.

Then pour the sausage evenly over the cresent rolls and then pour the egg mixture over the sausage (evenly). Then sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top.

Stick that bad boy in the oven for about 30 min. or until the crust is a goldnen brown. 

Take it out

Cut it up

Enjoy!!

You will notice that there are no pictures of the finished product.  This is because as soon as it is done my kids are ready to eat and I just can't wait myself.
