Judson and I returned last night from beautiful Vancouver, BC.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  We stayed at a hotel on the harbor by Stanley Park and enjoyed many walks along the boardwalk, gawking at the yachts.  So much fun!  It was delightful to be together, although I did miss the boys.  I always do when we're traveling.  Shout out to my niece Jennifer and her husband, Chris for taking such good care of the troops while we were away.  On to a new week....

Monday:  Shredded Beef Enchiladas with Spanish Rice and Green Salad

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Yup, St. Patricks Day.  I'm not one of those clever moms who makes leprechaun footsteps leading to the pot of gold on the kitchen table.  But I think the kids will be much more excited with the Lucky Charms I bought (it's been over a decade since the charms have shown their face in my kitchen--I just love them too much;).  So, here's to sugared cereal and the only day of the year that everyone feels at liberty to pinch whomever they wish.  What a weird holiday!
Here's my menu for the week:
Monday:  Broccoli Cheese Soup (double the broccoli and use real cheese) and Grinders
Tuesday:  Quiche, Muffins and Fruit
Wednesday:  Beef Enchiladas with Spinach Salad and Spanish Rice
Thursday:  Slowcooker Cheesy Hashbrowns with Ham
Friday:  Pizza night!
Saturday:  Orange Chicken, Rice and Mixed Vegetables
Sunday:  Chicken and Vegetable Pasta

The wedding this weekend was absolutely beautiful!  A barn transformed into a dream land.  I've uploaded a few of the photos.  Admittedly, the crepe and hot chocolate bar and was a smashing success.  People were snapping pictures of it right and left.  I was really happy with the way it turned out.  The entire day was perfect.  Judson's parents flew in from their mission in France and surprised us!  His dad performed the sealing ordinance in the temple, it was really special.
Here's my menu for the week:
