GREAT couple of weeks!

It's been a wild, crazy, super busy, GREAT couple of weeks! For starters, I took a whirlwind trip with my siblings and parents to Colorado to visit my sister and her family. It's a pretty happenin' time when we all get together, and this time was no different! Late nights, lots of laughing, good food, and did I mention no sleep? The whole trip was organized around the Broncos vs. Raiders Monday Night Football game, and we definitely got the full NFL football game experience. Field passes and the works! I only looked slightly stupid for my lack of football knowledge, but I cheered loud and had FUN! And quite honestly, I think my stupidity was a bit entertaining to those around me. Glad I could provide some enjoyment! :)

And then this weekend we had a fantastic family wedding and two baby blessings. I'm exhausted yet so happy! I love being around family and I'm so grateful to have a wonderful family and to have married into a wonderful family. Life is good.

Here's my menu for the week:

Monday: Taco Soup and spinach salad
Tuesday: Easy Shake and Bake Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans
Wednesday: Beef Enchiladas with Roasted Tomatillo Sauce, Spanish Rice, Shredded Lettuce Salad
Thursday: Toast Cups (Add peas and diced ham to freshly made white sauce, toast buttered bread in muffin cups under the broiler, serve the white sauce mixture over the toast cups. It really is delicious!)
Friday: Easy Bagel Melts, Chips and Fresh Salsa, Vegetable Platter
Saturday: Mom's night off :)
Sunday: Beef Stroganoff over egg noodles with Stir-fry Green Beans and Fresh Fruit Salad
