My Friend Jen from work asked me for my potato soup recipe; because I just throw everything together I didn't know the measurements to give her so I made it one night so that I could measure things out. So Jen, here's how it goes.
First of all, I have to tell you that I cheat to make it easier. The night before I want potato chowder, I usually do baked potatos with chili or cheddar and broccoli soup, but I bake extra potatos for the soup the next day. You will need four to five potatos depending on their size. If they are on the smaller side do five. Anyways, peel and cube them. Cook one pound of bacon, drain, and cut into small pieces. Chop three to four green onions. In a crock pot, mix Potato's with one can cream of chicken soup, one medium container sour cream, about 1 and 3/4 cup milk (may need a bit more if you want it more soupy), one can of corn, green onions, bacon, about a teaspoon of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let cook on high for three hours or on low for five to six hours. I like to serve it with grated cheese sprinkled on top and with warm rolls or breadsticks. MMMMmmm. I hope you enjoy it!

Tying The Knot!!

Don't they look so happy? The picture is kind of poor quality cause I had four little kids bumping me to get to their mom. This is my sister Tammie; her and Zack got married on Friday, September 19. The day turned out amazing.They had a very beautiful wedding. I had her kids for the weekend. I actually took them on Thurday night and got them all (four) plus my two kids ready for the wedding. Don't they look amazing. I guess if I can handle six, a couple more wouldn't hurt....NOT.

That Time Again...Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Kaython started Kindergarten this year and he so far loves it! The first day he came home he started talking about his two new friends, Braxton and Isaac. He says his teacher is really nice. Which she seems nice and I think she will be able to teach him a lot. Hopefully he will start understanding how to read. I've been trying to teach him but he doesn't get that the sounds of each letter make the word.
I also started back in school and I am so excited about it!! I cannot wait to get my RN!! I have so many things I want to do and learn, but I cannot do them without my RN. Anyways, right now I go on Thursdays only, but it is a full day of school (9-5). I've already started the count down to the end of this semester....12 days! WOOHOOO!! I'm still on the 5th floor at EIRMC, there for a while I wasn't liking it too much, but I've had an *attitude adjustment* and I am enjoying it again.
Brandon got his deer (a four point buck) just three hours into the hunting season. It is a pretty good size one and he got with his bow. ~Good Job Babe~ And of course he will always be at Meleleuca; it's where he is comfortable!
Baby Kelton has been doing good up until this last week. We (well Brandon) had to take him into the Emergency Room on Monday for a temperature of 103.7, (that's with Tylenol and Motrin on board. But they just said it was a "possible ear infection". So, of course we were prescribed the one and only antibiotic: amoxicillin. But he seems to be doing better now, but he is not back to himself yet. Oh-yeah, and I haven't written for awhile, so I've missed a few things. Kelton started walking on the 4th of July and we celebrated his big one year old birthday on August 21. I did a circus theme party and we had an amazing time. It turned out so cute. At the birthday party my sisters boyfriend proposed and she said yes. They are getting married on Friday, less than a week away! So, I've been busy trying to help her get it all planned! SO fun! She is going to be so beautiful! Anyways, that's a quick summary of what's going on. Jody...I need your frequent reminders to update my blog :).
