Best Recipe in the World

We have recently discovered a kid friendly recipe called

CHEESBURGER PIE

1. unroll crescent rolls and layer in pie pan/casserole dish
2. brown your beef seasoning as desired, drain
3. mix with hamburger with one can cream of mushroom soup (can be substituted with any other cream soup, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, or anything else that goes with hamburger and cheese)
4. place in a casserole dish, laying with cheese.
5. unroll your crescent rolls and lay on top of mixture
6. bake as directed on crescent roll pkg. =)

Mom Points -

Vegatables can be chopped, hidden, and disguised in ground hamburger And sauce

Kids like it 'cause it says Cheeseburger

Cheese and sauce can be mixed and matched to please many different palets

Leftover meat/sauce mix freezes for later

15 minute raw prep - 15 minute cook time

pie crust and flattened biscuits work too (same cook time)

Additional accidental discoveries

You know those little pastry dishes we bought when we thought we were all going to be gourmet cooks?

They are now useful!!

---- TaDa!! Indivdual, make it yourself or have your very own pie dishes! (Little kids think this is VERY Cool)

hangin'

Hanging Out with Cousins is great! I have included a couple of pictures..... Not necessarily in order, but what the heck. We got to Olympia, hung out, barbequed, went to the zoo, played at the park, walked on the beach (Puget Sound).... - Just hung out with Family!

Wild Animals

we went to the zoo in Tacoma.... It was our first ime ever at the zoo. We have gone to Wildlife Safari and open animal parks, but never to an acutal zoo. The "wildest" show was the capture of the actual animals.

So -
These are those thing in their mouths......

traveling

It is always interesting what the kids will come up with to entertain themselves! We were invited to spend our Memorial Day holiday with Uncle Andre' (currently our only active duty family member)and his family. Right before we started on the road we went to K-Light so the Jordan and Gracelynn could pick up prizes they had one.
These teeth were picked by Gracelynn winning the Birthday Contest this month! A Set of 4!
So.... on the way up the kids took a few pics regarding travel entertainment.

The beginning

So, I have been encouraged to start this blogging stuff by many family members and friends, and so - here I sit. I promise nothing - and give everything.
Those who know me know that I have very little that I keep "private", so if you don't like what I have to say, sorry!

I wholly believe in the concept that if you let your needs be known to those who love and support you, beit your close family or your "family" in the village where you live - that is the outlet where those needs will be provided.
I also believe that if you are wanting to hide something in life, that is the reason you should banish that something from your life. (If you don't cheat, you won't have to lie about it).

These are concepts I have decided after many a bad time and wrong turns just might be a good idea after all!

So - forward through life I go. Perhaps this will be an encouragement or a discouragement to keep up with the ongoings of the clan..... However, I hope you love me enough to keep reading anyway.
