Back to freezing meals & Cheerleading

This week I decided that I need to freeze up some more meals for the family. I really need to get to the store also, so I'll just plan a menu and buy for that. With summer upon us, we are starting to spend more time outside enjoying the weather and doing fun things, so we are eating later and later. I really don't want to be stuck inside while everyone else in outside, so I'm going to try and make about 4 meals Saturday morning to freeze and then hopefully get some more done next weekend. This is my 8 days of meals. All can be frozen. Side dishes may or maynot.
1 - Meal Loaf, Sweet Potatoe Casserole, Corn Pudding
2 - Spaghetti, Salad, Bread
3 - Chicken & Rice casserole, green veggie of some sorts
4 - Hamburgers, chips
5 - Pork loin, Broccoli & Cheese casserole
6 - Chicken Pot Pie, Salad
7 - Pizza Pasta Casserole, Salad, Bread
8 - Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry, Rice, Steamed Broccoli/Califlower

Sounds yummy huh? I'm not a meal loaf lover, but it's easy pretty quick. I'm trying a new recipe for it. The sweet potatoe cassserole and corn pudding recipes are from my mom ... the best ever!!! The Teriyaki Chicken you really just mixed everything up in a freezer bag and freeze it, then take it out and cook. You know once chicken is in strips it doesn't take long to cook it up.

Em made the middle school cheerleading squad ... YEA for her, boo for me cause it's expensive! But she's loving it and that's all that matters. Go Cougars!

I killed a turkey Friday, but don't have the pictures with me to post. I'll try to get them posted soone on Facebook. It was another Jake, but it was a cool kill cause Neighbor Mike shot also.

More later!

New Puppy & Family pets

Koda - he's our big outside boy.

Princess - she rules the house! And thinks her Mom & Dad are the neatest thing next to slice bread!

Emilee's new best friend ... Molly 7 week old Yellow Lab

Couldn't you just eat her up!

Molly has been in our house for 3 nights and each night I've gotten up to let her go potty. Last night was the first night where it worked out that I put her to bed at 11:00 (with a potty break before). Slept for 2 hours then got up to take her out. In those two hours, she managed (as she has for the past two night) to poo in her cage. So at 1:00, I'm semi cleaning up poo. Then back up at 3:00 to potty, then up at 5:15 for good. She's had one accident in the house - which was really our fault. Emilee and I were working on her poster for her reading report in the floor in the basement and Molly woke up from a nap and decided she need to wee on Em's poster. Luckily, just on the corner and the picture could be reprinted. No harm. Baby puppy pee is like water anyways ... no smell! Whew!

She is really sweet and totally cute ... don't you think?

No turkey - New Puppy - Better grades

Emilee is really trying with her grades and so far this last nine weeks, she's brought everything up! Good girl. Cheerleading try outs are next week, so be praying she'll have a good try and MAKE the team!

We're getting a new puppy - actually Emilee is for Easter. I'll pick her up tomorrow, if everything goes as planned. Its a girl, yellow lab around 6 weeks old. Here's a picture of liter, not sure which we are getting, but I think it's the one in the back looking at the camera.




So, no turkey yet. Last weekend was opening weekend and nothing... the weather was terrible and the turkey's are gobbling. Enough said. We'll try again tomorrow morning!

I'll have more pictures of the new puppy Monday!
