Hey missy I made this for you. It can be used as a header or footer or heck just whatever. If you like it of course. You don't have to use it... :D

~MⓐGGⓘE Got in!~

So I decided to enroll Maggie in a Dual Language Class at school. She is going to be in Kindergarten. I went to our first meeting about the class and we were told that this is a new thing at our school and if you
want your child to be in the class you must be willing to keep them in
it until they are in 6th Grade! Mainly they don't want parents taking
their children out of the class if they (the parents) don't think
that their child likes it anymore or whatever. The class will be 50% english
speaking children and 50% spanish speaking children. They will be taught Spanish for the next few years. Thing is....each year they will get a new teacher but they will have the same students as the year before. Weird. I figure that this is going to be one tight group. I am so excited for her to learn Spanish. My grandmother and mother speak spanish and would love to hear her speak their launguage. I hope to learn along the way. I am also excited that her cousins are also in the class. Katie and Mason will be with her for the next so many years. They are close now but It will make a stronger bond I'm sure. Family is the best
thing ever. Madison is praying that her cousin Jacob will be in her class. They were not in the same class last year but when they were at recess they were connected at the hip. She loves her cousin. She is actually with him right now spending the night. They are 4 months apart and they truly are a mess when they
are together. I am sad that Maggie is going to be starting school this year and that Madison is getting so big but I'm excited for the new friends and everything new that comes with school.

Burrito Casserole

Here is the best/quick dish...

• Bag of 12 Burritos in the freezer section at Wal-mart
• 2 cans of Rotel-I use Mild
• 2 cans of Cream of Chicken soup-Healthy Request(doesn't have to be)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2 cup of Milk
• Garlic Salt
• Pepper

First you will need a casserole dish. I use an 8x13 and I spray the bottom with Pam. Mix Rotel, Cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Then get a small amount and spoon it into the bottom of the casserole dish. Lay the burritos in the dish. Pour remaining mixture onto the burritos. Sprinkle on the shredded cheese. Be sure to cover it good with cheese. Cover with Foil and Bake @ 350° for 35 minutes and then take the foil off and cook for 10-15 minutes until the chesse is melted.


Take out and let stand 5 min. to cool and dig in. It's great. You can sort of guestemate on the milk and cheese with how thick or thin you want the sauce. Have fun cooking.

I'm so tired.

Well, I just got home from Longview. I had some errands to run and my sister called me and asked if I would come and sit with her at the ball park to watch Jeff and Michael play baseball. I'm so pooped. I worked today and when I got off I met up with Sandy at McDonalds and ate lunch with her and the girls. Madison wanted to stay with Sandy and Maggie wanted to come home with me. She was something else at McDonalds and I figured that Sandy might want a little break. Maggie and I took off and stopped by Jamies house to pick up Maggies Scentsy. She was so excited about finally getting one. If you don't know what a Scentsy is I'll fill you in, it's a warmer that has a little bowl that you put wax in and it melts and smells amazing. I have 4 at my house. I love them. We got home and set it up in her room and she was so proud of it. When we were done she said she was bored and didn't have anyone to play with. I told her I would play with her and she was all for it. I took her in my bathroom and put a facial mud mask on her face and she loved every minute of her pampering. I took tons of pics of her that I will post on here later. When she was waiting for the mask to dry she asked if I wanted to play dress up and it sounded fun to me so I told her to go in her room and don't come out until she was in her dress. She ran off in a hurry. I ran into my closet and got my awesome black and purple polk-a-doted strapless dress that is TOTALLY 80's and put it on as fast as I could! When Maggie came out of her room her little face lit up. She was laughing so hard that MOM was actually going to play dress up with her. Little things like dress up made her so happy. I loved it. She was dancing all over the place. She was looking around in my closet and found one of her Expensive Dress up outfits I got for her at market. Hahahah, I don't know why I spent so much on it b/c now I don't want her to wear it and mess it up. Kind of pointless I know. So any way she decided that the dress she had on wasn't as pretty as the one in my closet and she asked if she could change. I told her we were playing DRESS UP and that of course it was okay to change. She was really excited about it b/c she still had a green face from the Mask and was sure I'd say no. She quickly changed and pranced around for a while and danced some more. She is a dancing machine. Her face was getting harder and harder to move and she said she was ready to take that MUD off. I told her it was probably time and she ran to the bathroom and took it off as fast as she could. She asked if she could then put some make up on me and I wasn't really down with all of that because I had to go to Church at 5pm and I didn't want to have a painted up face from a 5 year old. I told her I would do her make-up. She was fine with that and when we were all through dolling her up she begged me to let her put some on me. Well, she was so cute and sweet about it I said Okay. She was giggling the whole time and I just knew that she was jacking my face all up. I let her do her thing and then she let me look in a mirror and she was laughing so hard she was starting to tear up. She had my lipstick all outta wack and my eyes were full of hot pink and gold shimmer eyeshadow. It wasn't very becoming. She got a kick out of it. When I had to start getting ready for church she got a little pouty and asked it her cousin Katie could come over so we went to pick her up. When we got back they decided they wanted to watch a movie. I had a workout video in the DVD player and I told them they could do a DANCE Workout and they loved that Idea. I put it on and you should have seen these two little girls trying to follow what the girl on the DVD was doing. It was great. I videoed it and I will try to put it on here. It was quite a show. Maggie is a wild child but she's also so funny and loving. I have a great kiddo and I'm proud to say she's all mine. (and my dear husbands too)

The end of the day.

We went to the birthday party for Mason and had a great time. We rode with my
sister-in-law Jennifer and her daughters Katie and Carly.
The girls played on the swings when we arrived and I chit chatted with my other
sister-in-law Sarah. Maggie kept tugging on me b/c she wanted me to go and watch her
swim. So I did. I hung out with Sandy (my mother-in-law), Sarah and
Aunt Linda Kay. We had a nice time visiting. Maggie was in the pool with Katie Rose
and Madison was swimming with her friends Alyssa and Jaci. They were
all on a floaty trying their hardest to keep it afloat. Madison's sweet smile
was showing the whole time. Maggie was strutting around the pool like some model or something
and being just as prissy as always. She would occasionally come over to
give me a kiss or a hug just to get me wet and to see how I was going to react. The girls
really enjoyed themselves and so did I.

Okay so I've been trying to figure out how to make my own background and let me just say I'm confused. I want to be able to design my own but heck I can't even figure out how to put other peoples designs on my page. It's tickin' me off. I will eventually figure it out but I'm sure I will spend way to much time on it when there's a quicker way. Ohhh well!


Sandy babysat for me today while I worked up at Flip Out.

She took them to Ricia's Salon and got their hair trimmed. Then she decided to take
them to Target and she said that was some trip. Madison got a doll
and some pink shoes. Maggie wanted sports clothes and bubbles. I don't know
about that girl sometimes. She is so funny. They went to I Hop and they had
a blast. They have a sweet Peppie and I am so happy to have her help
me out with the girls.


We are about to head out. Mason is turning 6 and we are going to the country club
for his swim party. The girls are so ready they have been talking about it
all day. Maggie drives me nuts with all the questions....when is 6 o'clock,
how long is it until then, is that long, when are we leaving, is it
time to go yet.

Day one of my Blog

Well, I am new to the blogging world and I think that it's time to give this a try. I think documenting my families life in words and pictures is extremely important. I want to be able to look back and share this with my family. I have a horrible memory and writing all of the days events will help me. I hope to document our lives weekly and I hope I am able to stick with it. My girls will appreciate all of this when they are older.



So today has been a pretty busy day. After breakfast I took the girls to our newly updated park in town and it was great seeing the girls play so nice together. It didn't last long, they started to get annoyed with each other, but It was fun while it lasted. I then decided to take them to get a snow cone and as luck would have it both of the snow cone stands in our tiny little town were closed. So the girls were pretty bummed. I didn't want to go home yet to do all of the things that awaited me, like laundry, sweeping, dinner, dusting and well you get the idea. I took the girls to the library and it was obviously long over due. They loved it! We sat and read some books but Maggie on the other hand didn't want me to read she wanted to make up her own words for what she was seeing on each page. She can't read yet but she is so ready to learn. I finally did get to look around for a while in the "Grown up" section. I had a really good time and I know the girls did too. We were there for a little over an hour. By the time we got into the car to head home they brought up the snow cone stand again. Truth be told I really wanted one too. We still haven't had lunch yet but I figured we could live a little. So much to my surprise they were finally opened and we all tried new flavors. My snow cone was Blue Lagoon and it sort of tasted like a bathroom cleaner smells. Madison tried the Margarita. I know what your thinking. Why is she letting her 8 year old try a Margarita flavor. Look it's alcohol free people. Maggie wanted to try it too but she wanted to also try the bubble gum flavor...YUCK...she didn't like the two mixed and neither did Madison or myself. We get home finally to have some much needed lunch and by the time the girls sat down Jed and Jake come in and Jed starts telling us about his trip to Kansas. When the girls were done eating and Jed was done with his story they all decided that it would be fun to drive the Mule to John's office. I let them go and I cleaned the kitchen as fast as I could so I could join Blogger and start my new page. Fun Fun. I still need to mess around with it to make it exactly the way I want it to look, but for now what I have will work. I need to go now b/c James just got home and I need to finish preparing for dinner. We are having my awesome Burrito casserole and its the girls favorite. James is a happy guy as long as there is dinner when he gets home. He's always starving. My man works hard and for that I love him.
