TBall!

Ashton had his first T ball game tonight and I think he enjoyed it way more than soccer. He even won the medal for best player of the game. He got some good hits and was good in the field too. The aswesome part was that he thought the medal was cool but not as cool as the juicebox he was able to drink. (A lot of snacks that people bring are not allergy friendly) My dad (Denny) came to watch and had fun with the younger boys. Embry can say his name and it sounds like "Kneeknee"It was so cute. He must have said it a billion times.






Collin acting silly in Embry's stroller. He ran out onto the field to talk to his daddy at one point in the middle of the game!

More proud of his V8 than his medal

Embers clapping for his bro

Hashbrown history

Tonight I made history with our little family. I created something new for dinner that every boy ate for once. Every night is such a battle to get them to eat dinner. they love breakfast and lunch but dinner is a different story. We're tough and never make something just for them that they will eat. They know if they don't eat what I serve, they don't have dinner. Anyway I get really sick of the same meals so I try to cook at least one new recipe a week (always allergy friendly of course) and usually it comes with complaints from at least one child. Anyway, tonight I made a breakfast burrito casserole with random things we had since we just got back from the beach. I have made lots of mexican casseroles and lasagnas but this was a hit so I figured I should blog about it rather than throw the recipe in my giant box I will one day organize. I just browned some sausage and hashbrowns (We prefer Applegate chicken and maple sausage and trader Joe's hashbrown patties) Then I layered tortillas, refried beans (again trader joes), the potatoes and sausage, some diced tomatoes and daiya "cheese". It was very simple. I would have added peppers and onions but we are out right now and that would have been met with lots more eyerolling and whining.
