Sweet Little Girls

We had a great time in Ames over the weekend! Pretty low key - garage sales, good food, playing outside, celebrating Val's birthday, and enjoying sweet little girls.

We're heading to Ames on Friday - can't wait!!

We'll celebrate birthdays, hang out and hope for garage sales!

Expect pictures of beautiful little girls when we get back...

I've been a busy little seamstress lately...

Totally cute, right!?!?

I'm SO excited to have professional looking business cards/labels to attach to my burp cloths! Yup, still selling 'em! Let me know if you are interested...

Target Spring Meeting

We had our all company spring meeting today.

Imagine thousands of people (literally!) walking around downtown in red and khaki and then filing into the Target Center! It's laugh-worthy...

We heard from all the head honchos, had a fashion show (showing ALL items that I had worked on!!!!!) and then had performances by...

Michael Buble
Nick Jonas
Lady Antebellum
Norah Jones
Pearl Jam

stand up comedy from Tim Allen and an appearance from Shawn White (with his gold medal!) Plus, Wally the Beer Man was there handing out cracker jacks! He's basically a MN legend from the Metrodome!

I got to sit on the floor RIGHT next to the stage. I was maybe 6 feet from Michael Buble!!!

Here's a picture a friend took of the red and khaki mob...



Certainly a fun way to spend the afternoon!

New Recipe

We tried a new recipe today.

4 frozen chicken breasts
1 can of corn
1 can of black beans
1 jar salsa

Dump it all in the crockpot. Cook on low for 8-9 hours. The chicken shreads with the touch of a fork!

The best part is the chicken doesn't have to be thawed. I'm not very good at planning ahead so this is a huge win for me!

We wrapped in tortillas with a little cheese and sour cream. YUM! (Ryan votes that it needs a little more seasoning. And we both vote that corn tortillas are icky).

All in all - gotta love anything that is all cooked and ready when we get home from work!

.

It's a boy!

I'm excited to announce the newest member of our family!

Maurenn Kadesa

He'll be 6 on our anniversary.

No, we aren't adopting him (though I did ask Ryan if we could!). But we are sponsoring him through Compassion. We were very excited to get our packet and his picture in the mail this week!

Just look at this face...
