Great Day at the Beach

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of having the Stones do our family photos. It was a wonderful day, and I love all of the pictures that we have. I have posted a few of my favorites, but I love them all.

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was very full, time was spent with family, and good friends. It was the best way to spend the three days!

Olivia was helping me unload the dryer, she loves to do the laundry. Now if I only could get her to fold it, and put it away.

The Day the Ocean Swept my Camera Away

These are all from back in April when I let the camera go for a swim. A few of them are okay, some were very badly damaged. I'm just glad that I was able to save some of them. Looking on the bright side, we needed a new camera away.

Don't worry she was eating Pirates Booty!

This is one of my favorite shots from the day, it is also one that was damaged by the memory card getting all wet.

My happy little man, he LOVES the beach.

Morgan really likes to take pictures of Luke and me.

Smile big for the camera Olivia.

New Camera!

We finally got a new camera, I snapped a few pictures with it tonight. So look forward to more regular blogging.

Beef and Cabbage Wraps

I'm guessing that I'm not the only person out there who is always looking for good new dinner ideas. I tried this for dinner tonight and it was a hit. Olivia asked for thirds, yes my toddler asked for thirds!

8 8-inch flour tortillas
12 ounces lean ground beef/turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup whole kernel corn
2/3 cup BBQ sauce
2 cups packaged coleslaw mix

1-Wrap tortillas in foil; place on baking sheet. Heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. I skipped this step and used the cook your own tortillas from Costco.

2-Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until beef is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in corn and BBQ sauce. Cook until corn is hot. Spoon about 1/2 cup filling on each tortilla. Top with some coleslaw mix. Roll up. I also cut up an avocado and added it to ours.

I'm hoping to post what we have been up to soon, but I dropped our camera in the ocean a few weeks ago, and am now waiting until we purchase a new one so that I can get our pictures off the old one.
