You go from melting our hearts to cracking us up in a flash. I wish you would keep on saying the cute little things you say for a long time, but we already hear you changing your tune. DON'T GROW UP TOO FAST! You can keep on calling tomatoes "penoes" for a while. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the things we've heard you say that we absolutely adore, and had to write it all down before we forgot or before you quit saying it! <br />
<br />
Flamingos (one of Kennedy's favorite animals right now) is Mingo-mingos.<br />
As mentioned above, tomatoes are "penoes" although now it's evolving to "teano"<br />
Anything baseball is "Cardinals" and you love your "Friendbird" pillow, Graham.<br />
You both love going to "gynastics"<br />
Kennedy, when we pray you thank God for our "lessons" but you really mean blessings ;)<br />
You both LOVE to "weem!" on the swing at Papa's house- or anything else you can find to swing on.<br />
Both of you like to pretend you're going to work, you pack up your bags and say "Bye-bye, see ya, have a good day."<br />
Graham, you love to help out around the house. "Vacunuming" is your favorite. <br />
And both of you love to eat "chuckin" nuggets (but Graham is the one that says it like that!) you also love to eat Mac N Cheese.<br />
Kennedy still sometimes says "Seba" for seven when she's counting ;) Love it!<br />
You are both very independent- everything is "No, <b>I</b> do it!"<br />
Graham, you tell us "I love you too to moon!"<br />
You love to eat "numnums" (M&Ms) for a special treat, and when you get something special you call it a "Huprise!" (surprise).<br />
And a carousel is a "Round and Round"<br />
Bananas are "Bias"<br />
Hoola hoops are "wiggle wiggle"<br />
Water guns are "bujsh bujsh"s (because that's what <i style="font-weight: bold;">sound</i> it makes!)<br />
You both call chapstick "chuzstip" and I love it :)<br />
Graham calls octopuses "optacpus"<br />
Kennedy, you call cantalope "cantanote" which is also the word you use for antelope- it can be very confusing ;)<br />
Graham, anything with -an on the end of it automatically gets a -t as well. "snowmant" "firemant"...<br />
We finally figured out that "ahdida" meant what is that? But it has now become "Was that, Mom?" to <i>everything</i>! Graham you are so curious! Kennedy, you are too but you seem to be the more imaginative and creative one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kennedy, you are definitely <strike>getting bossy</strike> asserting yourself. The other day I asked Graham a question, and he didn't answer, so you told him "Graham, say UH-HUH!" And you told Papa Don, who was trying to help you eat your chocolate cake by putting a bite on your fork "Put it down! Right there!" (pointing to the exact spot that you wanted it on your plate)<br />
<br />
Graham, you helped Mommy open birthday presents and when we got the wrapping off you said "oh, it's gorgeous!" And Kennedy said "Happy birthday Mommy, I get to blow out the candles!"<br />
<br />
Graham, the other day when it was storming a lot Daddy told you that God was watering the flowers. A little bit later when we were all cuddling in bed together and waiting out the storm, you raised your precious little head and said "Is God done yet?" <br />
<br />
And Kennedy, I really did just hear you say "Okay Graham, it's Kinny's turn when I count to five! One, two, three..."Tim and Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362745653716103196noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796388820775596580.post-58288039422907183122012-08-18T08:04:00.000-05:002012-08-18T15:06:27.619-05:00The Story of TonightOkay, let me preface this story by saying, Tim left for China last Sunday and will be gone for 2 weeks. So... I've been a single Momma to my two precious toddlers all week. And this week has been my first week back to school, my car battery died so I had to find a way to get it to the dealership (I mean, what if it was the alternator?) and then a way to pick it up when in fact, it WAS just the battery. Needless to say, with all that crazy going on this week, I just didn't get to spend the quality time with Kennedy and Graham that I wanted too. And we were all missing our days of summer when we spent <i>all day </i>together. <br />
<br />
Friday night with nothing to do but dinner and a bath, we had <i>lots</i> of time to relax and have fun! Life was good until bath time...<br />
<br />
Kennedy was fighting me, she did NOT want to get out of the bathtub. So I got her wet and slippery little self out of the tub and she was fussing because she wanted to "refill the fish" (her squirt toy) and I really didn't want to get her semi-dried body wet again. Then she started fussing because SHE wanted to put the lotion on herself, and push the pump to get the lotion <i>out</i>. Fine. So I let her do her thing and got Graham out of the tub (by the way, he came out easy as could be and let me dry him off and do the lotion thing...) In the meantime, when I tried to use the lotion for G, Kennedy pulled it back and hit herself in the face with it, so she started <i>really</i> crying then! Calmed her down, then got her ready to put on her pjs. No "Kinny do it!" when I tried to help her put on her panties. Sigh. Fine. Then she started crying because she wanted my help. Sigh. Okay. Then she started fussing because I wanted to help her put on her pj pants. "NO, KINNY DO IT!" Sigh. Okay, fine. Then she had trouble so she started wining because she needed help again. SIGH. Okay, no problem. All the while, poor Graham was doing great getting his pjs on by himself- good thing or he would have been a popsicle by the time I'd gotten to him to get him dressed! <br />
<br />
Finally get back downstairs just in time for Tim to call, and the kids were so excited! While we were chatting with Daddy, Kennedy let me know, "Mommy, my pants are wet!" Sure enough, she had peed a little in her panties. So we got her a night diaper (almost time for bed at this point anyway) but "No, mommy! I go peepee on the potty!" okay, fine. She can go by herself, so I let her go in while Graham and I talked to Tim. Literally a minute later Kennedy came in and said "Mommy, it's all wet!" Huh? Kennedy had tried to "clean" her toilet and spilled some on the floor. SIGH. So we put her diaper on and she went off to look for her my little pony. Graham and I were telling Daddy how he was being such a good boy while I put <i>his </i>diaper on. Then, a crash. Crap, Tim we'd better get off the phone! I ran into the bathroom where the source of the crash originated- <i style="font-weight: bold;">there was water ALL OVER THE FLOOR!</i> Ummm.... Kennedy had decided to clean the floor and filled the potty bucket up with water from the sink- this kid must have filled it <i>all the way up</i>. I mean water. ev. ery. where. <b>SIGH!</b> Of course at this point my Kennedy girl was a hot mess, water/pee all over her legs and crying hard. And then I feel a little tap on my leg. I looked down and Graham had the towel that was by the back door for the dog's feet. "Here Mommy, I clean it." Precious boy!<br />
<br />
So we wipe up the mess, to be thoroughly cleaned up after the munchkins were in bed. Drag Kennedy back to where the wipes are to give her an impromptu bath and she is really cranked up now. I mean, sobbing hard. I felt bad for her, but I was so frustrated too! Got her cleaned up and pj pants on and she kept crying for her Minny and JoJo dolls. I told her "Kennedy, if you're so crabby and going to keep crying, why don't you just go up to bed?!?" (don't judge...) <br />
<br />
In the smallest, most dejected, hiccup-crying voice she said "o-o-okay" and picked up her dolls and headed for the stairs. Well, I felt like the worst Mom in the world! "Oh Kinny, I'm sorry. You don't have to go to bed." So we cuddled for a few minutes. Poor girl! Poor mommy. Sweet Graham. <br />
<br />
A little later, we were getting ready to head up to bed, and I noticed the tv remote was not in it's spot. Uummmm.... crap. So we went on a scavenger hunt for the stupid thing. We. Looked. Everywhere! Couldn't find it. Graham decided it was probably upstairs, so we went upstairs instead to look for the remote, snuggle in bed , sing songs and read a book. Kennedy went to bed first, then I walked Graham in his room to put him to bed while Graham was "looking". Then it as time for G to head to bed- with a new book and truck he'd picked up on his remote hunt ::eyeroll:: We climbed into his bed and I asked him "Graham, do you know where the remote is?" (he's very good at hiding things in obscure places, it wouldn't be beyond my scope of imagination that he had put it away). "yep, it's downstairs." Right. Get in bed, G. Then I asked him "Graham Michael, what am I going to do with you guys?!?" <br />
<br />
"Um, take 'em back!" I laughed <i>so hard!</i> Then I told him I thought the 90 day return policy was expired and I was stuck with them. But that's okay, they were stuck with me too. "Yeah Mommy, stick with us!" I will Boogaboo, I will! <br />
<br />
Moral of the story, my kids are adorable- even when they are being stinkers, crabby or tired. :)<br />
<br />
<i>p.s. after looking all over for the remote- I mean tearing through drawers and toys and bags and anywhere else you could imagine, I decided to give up and go clean the bathroom floor. There it was, on top of the toilet paper holder!?!? Not sure about how it got there (though I have my suspicions) but I'm glad I found it! I really didn't want to watch Disney channel for the next week.</i>Tim and Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362745653716103196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796388820775596580.post-45549885791855056952012-08-10T20:40:00.000-05:002012-08-10T20:40:46.830-05:00Our Trip to the Zoo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I put so much love and time into them, <i style="font-weight: bold;">they are never coming down, EVER! </i>:) So I wanted to incorporate more purples and pinks and purple and purple into her room, but keep the yellows and greens that were already there. </div>

Kennedy <i>loves </i>her tree! I made it with vinyl- I drew a tree on a huge piece of butcher paper as a stencil and then cut it out of the vinyl. The flowers are via our most amazing Cricut. (what would I do without it? I shudder to think about it!)</div>

We go way back- I mean all the way back to the playground in 5th grade! But we have made it a point to visit each other once a year since she's been down there. I love it, because I have been able to see her relationship with her husband Brad grow stronger and more beautiful, meet their adorable son Ethan and then a few years later their daughter Kinley. And I know she'd say the same about getting to see me and my family. Even though we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like (I mean, we wish we could be next door neighbors! Or at least live in the same 'hood) when we do get together we totally take advantage of our time :) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;">This summer it was Jia's turn to come up to the Lou and visit us. </span><a href="http://horstmannfamilyblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/our-visit-with-jill-and-kinley.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Last year</a><span style="background-color: white;"> she came up with an almost one-year-old Kinley and K and G loved her. </span><a href="http://englishbaby.blogspot.com/2012/02/sweet-visit-with-heather.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">This past winter</a><span style="background-color: white;"> Kennedy and I flew down to visit and the girls were fast friends, so this trip Kinley came to visit again! (and I'm a bad girl, I didn't get it into the blog. I'll have to add some pictures later) The kids were inseparable, except for when they were fighting over toys and sippy cups :) It was so very precious, and made me wish we lived closer for yet another reason!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The girls flew in late Wednesday afternoon, and we got some Imo's pizza to celebrate our friends' visit. It was the first time K and G ate pizza! Thursday we chilled around the house, went for a long walk, and then my <b>MOST AMAZING HUSBAND TIMOTHY MICHAEL</b> took on babysitting all three munchkins so Jill and I could go to a Thirty-one consultants meeting together. :) Very cool (the meeting and the husband). </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Friday Tim was most amazing AGAIN and worked from home in the morning. Once we were all up, we decided to make some Chocolate Muffins (see previous posts!) and the kids were happy to help again. We got a chance to play outside in the pool before Tim took on the munchkins again so Jill and I could have some girl time. We went to Jilly's Cupcake Bar... ah.ma.zing. And then some shopping to work our lunch. We're dangerous when we get together! ;)</span><br />

Saturday was the girls' last day with us. Tim was Mr. Incredible again and manned the house while Jill and I went to a Zumba class together. It reminded me of old times when we used to dance together ::sigh:: After an amazing class, we headed home for lunch with my parents and grandpa. They love Jill almost as much as I do, and they were really excited to meet Kinley! The kids got some down time together before nap time and before the girls had to head home to their family. </div>

Right after Tim's birthday, sure enough Father's day rolled around! Poor guy, he has to do a birthday-father's day celebration now. I don't think he minds though. Especially since he got a combined gift this year and we upgraded his grill. Aren't you excited?!? He picked it out, so I know he liked it- ha! We got together with the Short family for breakfast and then home for a nap (zzzzzzzzz...) Then on to celebrate with the Horstmann clan. Did I get any pictures of us celebrating Father's day? Nope, I'm apparently a slacker. (but that's okay, because we didn't get pics on mother's day either.) BUT, we were supposed to bring Kid Friendly Dessert for dinner so we made cupcakes. Don't you know the kids were all in the middle of that one! And yes, they licked the batter off the beaters again. THAT'S THE BESTEST PART! (egg free, so don't freak out, okay?) So I didn't get pics of the actual Father's day celebrations but I <i>did </i>get a picture of the cupcakes. I mean, wasn't that the best part of the day? <b>JK!!!</b> Kinda. But not really. ;)</div>

YAY!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like I said in the last post, this past week has been <strike>busy</strike> <b>HECTIC!</b> But in a good way :) We've had dance class, swim lessons, Daddy's birthday, softball, a Thirty-one Party for a good friend, and that's all before Father's Day rolled around! WHEW! But we definitely didn't forget about Tim's birthday. Especially since his b-day was softball night and Thirty-one party night, we wanted to show him how happy we were he was born, so we did it BIG! On his birthday, we snuck to the store and got stuff to make him TWO birthday cakes! He'd requested carrot cake when we asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday but we surprised him with cheese cake, too! (those are probably his two very favorites ever...) </div>

I remember when my Grandma Cleda used to let me lick the batter off the beaters when we were done, and it's still one of my favorite things to do when I bake. I thought I'd start a new tradition with the kids- I think they like it :) </div>Tim and Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362745653716103196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796388820775596580.post-48925041435327524212012-06-17T20:27:00.002-05:002012-06-17T20:27:06.851-05:00Banana Oatmeal Muffins<br />
So if you've met me, you know I like to eat <i>healthy</i>- it's no secret. And Tim and I have decided everything in moderation, but we want to teach the kids to make healthy choices. That being said, chocolate is <i>never </i>a bad thing! :) <br />
<br />
So via Pinterest, I stumbled across a recipe that was calling <strike>my</strike> our names- Banana Oatmeal Muffins. MMMmmmmm. And of course, my two assistants were eager to assist! :) Of course, I modified the recipe I found, so here's what we whipped up. <br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
4 mashed bananas- the more ripe, the better! (or 3 REALLY LARGE ONES!)<br />
1 cup of skim milk<br />
1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitute)<br />
1 egg<br />
1/4 cup egg substitute<br />
1 Tbsp baking powder<br />
3 cups <i>old fashioned rolled oats*</i><br />
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pre-heat the oven to 375*</li>
<li>Mix all ingredients except the chocolate chips together. Let it sit while you're getting the cupcake pan and liners ready</li>
<li>Spray muffin tin and/or liners with Pam **when you're baking with anything but wheat flour (like oats!) beware- they stick to cupcake liners! So my suggestion is bake with silicone that you have sprayed with Pam-OR- get the foil cupcake liners and take the paper lining out**</li>
<li>Fold in the chocolate chips. You're going to fill the cupcake liners <i>almost full</i>. (I made 12 medium muffins and a pan of mini-muffins) You should make about 15 muffins (or 12 and a pan full of minis!)</li>
<li>Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the edges are brown and they are firm to the touch. The muffins will stick to the liners when they are hot, but they will fall right out when they have cooled down a bit!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Nutritional info: (this is a guesstimate, which is <i>killing</i> the science nerd in me!) 15 muffins (or 12 medium muffins and 12 mini muffins)- 100 calories/ muffin, 1.5 grams of fat, 2 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, 1 gram of sat. fat, 25 grams of carbs, 4 grams of protein, 2 weight watchers + points</div>

Okay, so I've had this blog almost ready to go- sans pictures- for almost a week now! Whew, it's been a crazy week full of fun and lots of running around. Blogs about that to follow, but I just want it to be noted that I am having an absolute blast with these Monkeys this summer. We're doing new things every day, and I am seeing their personalities blossom more and more. They are hilarious little people! Just thought you should know :) </div>

I've been itching to make them for a long time, so I couldn't wait to get started! <br />
<br />
I found a great idea to use foam insulation tubing instead of the expensive foam wreaths from the craft stores. Two tubes together cost me $3.00 at Home Depot! So I cut them the length I needed and then duct taped the ends together- viola! A wreath! <br />

And this is where the "Wiggle Wiggle" part comes in. K and G insist the wreaths were hula hoops, which they call wiggle wiggles. A glimpse into the mind of a two year old: what do you do with a hula hoop? Put it on your hips and WIGGLE WIGGLE! But I digress...<br />

<b style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kennedy's Wreath</span></b>
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Kennedy's room is a fantastic, neutral baby's nursery but we definitely need some work to make this a little <i style="font-weight: bold;">girl's </i>room! Her favorite color is PURPLE with pink being a very close second, and she "just <b>wuvs</b> butterflies!" So what can a momma do but try to please? So I'm going to be working very hard to add pinks, purples and butterflies to her room that already has yellow walls and yellow and green window treatments. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kennedy is <i>very </i>girly-girl, so I decided to use different ribbons in yellow, green, purple and pink to make a ribbon-wreath. After I wrapped the <strike>hoola-hoop</strike> wreath form in strips of white remnant fabric, I started tying ribbons into knots... </div>

and once I had covered the entire wreath with more ribbon than you could imagine, I decided it needed something more. So I made a dash to Michael's and grabbed some Martha Stewart paint and added a little more of Kennedy style. </div>

Graham's room is Cardinal's baseball (does this surprise you?!?) so we had to go with Cardinal red! I couldn't find any remnants that matched my color theme, so I got a few quarters because I had no desire to stand in the mile-long line in the fabric department. And I wanted baseballs, but I didn't want something that was really heavy or would knock against the door when we snuck in to say night-night so I decided to go with foam baseballs I found in the summer toy section :) It was tricky trying to get them away from the kids, they were ready to play! </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I just had to add this. Graham's new toy obsession is his water gun, which he calls his Buuujsh. I can read your mind, you're thinking "HUH?" Another glimpse into the mind of a two-year-old: what sound affects do you make when you're squirting a water gun? "BUUJSH, BUUJSH!" right? Sooooo, it's a buujsh. So while I was working on the wreath, G was excited because Mommy had a Buujsh too!</span><br />

Graham also loves it, and every time we go into his room he points it out and says "G for Graham's room!" and then he adds in "Let's Go Cardinals!" :) Sorry Grandma Cleda, he's a die-hard Cards fan!! He is definitely his Daddy's boy. <br />

We have a lot more we're doing for the kids' rooms this summer, so check back in soon!Tim and Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362745653716103196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796388820775596580.post-63074924576493384952012-05-21T20:31:00.004-05:002012-05-22T06:40:10.456-05:00The Summer of PinterestOkay, so it's no secret that I'm addicted to Pinterest. If you by chance follow my boards you know that I have a ridiculous amount of pins. From crafting and DIY, to delicious recipes, stuff for kids and stuff for my classroom. "Hello, my name is Heather and I'm a pinaholic..." Well, admitting it is the first step, right? And if you aren't on Pinterest, you are totally missing out! You need to stop reading this blog right now and request an invite!<br />
<br />
Okay, now that you're logged into Pinterest and that crisis was diverted, back to the blog at hand.<br />
<br />
So this is going to be a craft-tastic summer. I have so many projects and ideas I have wanted to do all year, but just don't have the time for. And now that I have turned my final grades in, I have nothing <i>BUT</i> time to play with my adorable children and get to my to-do list. I promise, I'll keep you posted on all the things I do that I put my own twist on :)<br />
<br />
So first up, I wanted to make something for dinner on this first Monday of my first full week of summer that isn't on our normal menu. I scoured Pinterest for inspiration and decided to combine two different recipes I saw and made my own crock pot version of Buffalo Chicken Wraps. They were such a hit, we will have to put them in our regular repertoire! Graham even liked them, he was mad there wasn't one on his plate! <br />

<i>don't they just look like they'll melt in your mouth?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
So here is my recipe to share with you- I hope you like it as much as we did! <br />
<br />
Buffalo Chicken Wraps<br />
<br />
ingredients:<br />
3-4 frozen chicken breasts<br />
Frank's Red Hot Sauce<br />
8 oz cream cheese (I used Nufatchel)<br />
Ranch seasoning<br />
tortillas<br />
reduced-fat cheese (optional)<br />
cooking spray<br />
<br />
1. Put the frozen chicken in a crock pot with 1/2 a bottle of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Let it cook for 4-6 hours. It should be so moist and tender, it will pull apart easily with a fork. Using 2 forks, you can shred the chicken.<br />
Return to the crock pot and add the rest of the hot sauce, the ranch seasoning and the cream cheese. Stir, then let it sit for another 30 min- 1 hour, until it's creamy.<br />
<br />
2. Heat the oven to 425*. While the oven is warming up, sprinkle a little reduced-fat cheese on the tortilla. Spread about 1/4 of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese on the tortilla (the cheese is optional- honestly the chicken is so creamy, you don't really need it!). Roll the tortilla and place on a cookie pan. This should make about 12-14 wraps, depending on the size of your tortilla. <br />
<br />
3. Spray the wraps with cooking spray, and place in the oven for 15-18 minutes, turning the wraps once during cooking. <br />
<br />
4. Enjoy! You can dip them in Ranch dressing and eat with some celery if you're feeling <i>really</i> crazy- I'll warn you, these do have some kick! <br />
<br />

**I had leftover chicken <i>stuff</i>, so I am going to make myself a big, fat buffalo chicken sandwich tomorrow for lunch- maybe with a little ranch dressing to top it off! Mmmmm, my mouth is watering already.Tim and Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09362745653716103196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796388820775596580.post-49568932355311634082012-05-06T19:47:00.000-05:002012-05-22T06:40:41.076-05:00Happy Cinco de Mayo!We've been a very busy, crazy family lately! But I have the summer bug- I can't wait to spend time with my munchkins this summer and do tons of fun projects with them. I have a HUGE to-do list, and I really can't wait to get started. There seriously is a reason that teachers have the summer off. We need to recharge our batteries and live a life outside of school for a few months; get ready for the new students and add new things to our bag of tricks. <br />
<br />
Well, I digress. This blog is about a little taste of summer, and a little taste of Mexican! I have become a Pinterest Queen, I love stalking the boards for new ideas and recipes. One of my favorite things to eat is Mexican food- when I was pregnant I wanted Mexican every day (poor Tim!). So today was the perfect day to try out a new Mexi recipe. :) <br />
<br />
<b>Tonight's dinner menu:</b><br />
Tim's Famous Guacamole<br />
Turkey Enchiladas<br />
Tomalitos (Chevy's Corn Cake/Mush)<br />
Margaritas!<br />
<br />
We'll share the recipe for Tim's guacamole in another post... if he's willing to give up his secret!<br />
<br />
The enchiladas were amazing- I have to give you the recipe I concocted! <br />
<i>note: Tim's stomach cannot handle super spicy food so I didn't put in as many spices, onion and garlic as you might want to add. I doubled the recipe because we have lots of mouths to feed right now, and I like to have leftovers for busy weekdays! So if I changed the amount of ingredients when I doubled the recipe, I made a note.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Turkey Enchiladas</b><br />
Ingredients:<br />
1-1/4 cups frozen corn (2-1/2 cups if you double)<br />
1 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies (3 if double)<br />
1 cup fresh cut cilantro<br />
1/3 cup half and half<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1/4 tsp pepper<br />
garlic salt to preference<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b><br />
1 pound ground turkey<br />
1/3 cup chopped onion (1/2 cup doubled)<br />
1 garlic clove, minced (2 tsp doubled)<br />
3/4 cup salsa (2 cups doubled)<br />
1 tbsp cornmeal<br />
2 tsp chili powder (3 doubled)<br />
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp dried oregano<br />
1/8 tsp salt<br />
1/8 tsp pepper<br />
6 flour tortillas (8 inches) warmed<br />
1-1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
1. place the first seven ingredients in a food processor; cover and pulse until blended<br />
2. In a large skillet, brown the turkey, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink. Remove from heat and stir in salsa, cornmeal and seasoning. <br />
3. spoon 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with 2 Tbsp of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 11x7 glass baking dish. Spoon the corn mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.<br />
4. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Uncover, then bake another 10 minutes longer. <br />

<br />
<b>Tomalitos (aka Chevy's Corn Mush) </b><i>modified from </i><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-corn-tomalito/">AllRecipes.com</a><br />
<i>again, I doubled this recipe to feed the masses.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
4 Tbsp butter, softened<br />
1/2 cup masa hanna (<i>this is a finely ground corn flower, it makes a big difference)</i><br />
2/3 cup white sugar<br />
2/3 cup water<br />
4 cups whole kernel frozen corn, thawed<br />
1 cup cornmeal<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
8 tsp milk<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl, mix together the margarine, masa flour and sugar until light and fluffy. In a food processor (or blender) blend together 2 cups of the corn, water and cornmeal until smooth. Stir it into the masa mixture. Add in the remaining corn, baking powder, salt and milk until batter is smooth. <br />
<br />
*the recipe I used recommended to cook the mixture into a double boiler and cover tightly with aluminum foil and steam for 50-60 minutes. However, I didn't want to wait that long for the delicious, mushy corn cake-stuff. I placed it in a glass bowl and covered tightly with saran wrap. I cooked for 7 minutes on 30% power in the microwave, then another 5 minutes on high power. Mix before you serve. If it is still too moist, cook without the saran wrap for another 2-3 minutes on high. Serve in small scoops... or eat the whole thing with a large spoon right out of the bowl if you can't wait long enough to get it onto your plate! <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">You are such a sweet and amazing little man. You are almost always so happy and excited about life. You hate to take naps- I think you feel like you’re missing out on something exciting if you sleep. You love your sister so much, you always have to do stuff just like her, even paint your nails like her! (Daddy let me paint just one toenail to make you happy and I loved it!) You call her “Kinny,” that is the way you say her name, and we love it so much we all started calling her that. I hope that you always love your sister that much, and that you will always be her “big brother”- after all, you are 6 minutes older! Please always watch out for her and protect her. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You do so many things that make your Daddy and me laugh and smile: You absolutely love to read books, even when you were very little you would sit in our laps and look at the pictures- I hope you become a book worm like me. You are such a good eater and will try almost anything. Your favorite thing to eat right now is katsup- you even dip your <i>bananas</i> in katsup! (ewww, gross!) At night before bedtime you like to cuddle with us in the rocking chair. That is my favorite time of the day, when I get to snuggle with you. I sing you our lullabye and you tell me “mommy sing” and then you say “Gahm sing” and then you sing part of it to me, too- I absolutely love it when you sing with your very sweet voice. And when we pray together and you say "Ah-men!" with such conviction, it makes my heart burst. Your new favorite best friend is your Polar Bear stuffed animal, you don’t want to go anywhere without him! And you call all the animals by the sound they make- you call monkeys “ah-ahs!” When you go to bed, you cuddle with your Jojo in the crook of your neck. You are a very good helper and like to help me sweep the floor and vacuum, and put things away and it makes me so happy that you are so helpful- I hope you always try to help people when you are older, too. You give very sweet kisses, and you melt my heart when you smile at me. You are a very creative and are imaginative when you play, like you swoop the airplane through the air doing loop-de-loops and make engine noises, and you try to fix things with your tools or make soup with your juice in bowls. You try to say everything Mommy and Daddy say, and you are very good at trying new, big words! You also want to be so big- you try to climb you’re your chair by yourself and buckle your car seat all by yourself, you want to use a big fork for dinner and don’t want to wear a bib anymore (please don’t grow up too fast!) Sometimes you are so fearless and want to do everything on your own, but then sometimes you come running back to my arms to protect you. I hope you will always come to us when you need help or are scared. Your giggles and belly laugh fill me up with happiness. I want to tickle you all day just to hear you laugh! You are so very smart- you figure stuff out all on your own, like how to plug stuff in and how to turn in your toy vacuum cleaner... I think you are going to be an engineer like your Daddy. Your favorite thing to watch (when you stop long enough to watch tv) is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and you get so excited when you see anything Mickey! We call you Mam (that’s your sister’s name for you, and it’s so sweet!), Monkey, Bugaboo, and sometimes just Bugga, and sometimes when you’re in big trouble… Graham Michael! But that isn’t very often <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">You are such a sweet, thoughtful little girl. When your brother is sad or upset, you try to make him happy- you look at him and say “Mam” in your precious little voice that makes me smile. You love him so much, it melts my heart. You love giving kisses, and I love it when you walk up to me with your face turned up and a little pucker on your lips, ready to give some sugar. And when you snuggle up with me and put your head on my shoulder I could stay with you like that forever. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You do so many things that make your Daddy and I smile and laugh: When we go in to tuck you in at night, sometimes one leg is crossed over the other like you’re a little lady (of course, you are!) You sleep with your Jojo, Jilly and Pincess Kinny Doll, and purple pacie- you can’t sleep without them. Your giggles are contagious and make Graham and everyone else start laughing too. Your favorite color is purple and you point out everything you see in that color- I can’t believe a 2 year old has a favorite color, but you sure do! Pink is a close second favorite. If we guess what you’re talking about or do something you really want us to do, you giggle and it makes me smile. You name all your dolls and animals by the sounds they make- we have a rocking horse you call “neigh-neigh!” You LOVE to color, on anything, anywhere. When you count, you say “seba” for seven and then you giggle. I think seba is your favorite number, too because you say it the most. You love to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and get so excited when you see Minny Mouse, you call her “Mimmy!” When you eat, you take tiny little bites- so very dainty. You are <i>such</i> a girl! You like to wear necklaces and hats, pretty bows, paint your nails, you <i>love </i>your pierced ears (your pretties) and you always pick out the cutest shoes to go with your outfits. You play so well with your brother- most of the time! When you sleep, your eyelashes look like butterfly wings on your sweet cheeks. You are just precious, and I could spend my life watching you sleep. You wear your heart on your sleeve- you are very passionate about everything you do whether you are happy and giggling or sad and your feelings are hurt. You love getting tickled, and we love tickling you because it makes you giggle so much. You are so beautiful, but you are the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen when you are laughing and smiling and loving life. You are so independent sometimes and like to do stuff on your own. You are spreading your wings and becoming such a strong-willed little girl, but you still need your mommy and daddy- I hope you will <i>always</i> need us. I love the way you say “thank you,” sweet girl. When you get so excited, you say “OH BOY!” and you get excited <i>a lot</i>; your favorite thing to do is to “wim!!!” and your Papa Don bought you a swing for your birthday to share with Graham and Amelia. When we whisper “I love you” into your ear, you whisper “ahwewee” back and that is one of the sweetest things I’ve heard you say. We call you Kinny (that’s what your brother calls you!), Kendy, Sweet Girl, and Cutie Patootie. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You’re one of the most precious little girls I have ever met, and I am honored to be your mommy. You make me so proud every day, and I love watching you become the little girl that you are supposed to be. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I love you with all my heart, </div><div class="MsoNormal">Mommy </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

... and i think the elephants were by far the cutest!<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I spent over 10 hours on these lovely cupcakes- we baked 4 different kinds and had 4 different animals... so if I ever decide to quit teaching to open a bakery somewhere, will someone kindly remind me of the animal cupcakes? I don't think people would be able to afford my creations! :) But there were rave reviews and everyone said they were delicious- and even more importantly the kids absolutely loved them. So time very well spent!</div>

<br />
We were so happy that so many people were able to celebrate with us- luckily it was a very nice day outside, so a lot of people enjoyed the weather in the backyard. <br />

Well, what can I say except we have two fantastic children that are so full of life, we are enjoying every minute of it! But slacking on our blog- sorry :\ We will try to be better, promise!<br />
<br />
<br />
The day of their birthday was a Friday- Tim took the day off to get the house party-ready and to put together the kids birthday present...(I wanted to take the day off to play with them, but I had a big meeting for work:( We woke them up singing "Happy to You!" (their version of the happy birthday song) and got lots of sweet kisses. <br />

we surprised them by hanging this birthday banner the night before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They loved the "Ah-ahs" (that's what they call monkeys)</div>

After we picked them up from the babysitters, we played outside and then showed them their birthday present from Daddy and Mommy- it's a Slide- WEEE!</div>

After we had a dinner of their favorites- hotdogs and peas for Kennedy and fish sticks for Graham, we took them to Orange Leaf for ice cream! They were crazy, running up to people and being very social- they must have been very excited about their birthday :) </div>

After ice cream we threw them into the bathtub, and then they got to open more presents. Our house guest, MC got them some outfits he picked out himself, and he was excited for them to open his gifts! </div>
