Family FUN!!!

My brother and his family came for a visit on Saturday.  The kids were thrilled to see their cousins and quickly showed them the "ways" of being a 'country kid'.... from catching bugs to playing in the dirt, they did it all!  


What made it extra special was that they are finally all old enough to enjoy playing together!  Hard to believe there is less than 4 years between them all! 


(Don't you just love Chloe's clothing choice. LOL!!!)


With all the kids "pre-occupied" the Daddy's had lots of time to work on the pergola and they actually finished it yesterday afternoon!!! YEAH!!!  I'm so excited I can hardly wait to sit outside and enjoy it!  Of course naturally it's raining today so I'll have to wait a little longer, but oh well.... who knows, west Texas weather is so unpredictable it will probably be sunny and windy in an hour! LOL!

Here's some pictures of the "men at work"!



IT IS DONE!!!


(Now we just have to clean up and make it "pretty".  My FAVORITE part!)


and here we go again.... let's give it up for
MEAL PLAN MONDAY!!!
(this week I'm doing a theme of "family favorites")

Monday: Homemade Fresh Spaghetti Sauce & Meatballs, Garden Salad, & Garlic Bread & Fruit Salad (Chloe's suggestion)

Tuesday: Baked Chicken & Biscuits, Corn, Sauteed Green Beans (Colby's favorite)

Wednesday: Steak & Twice Baked Potatoes, Salad (Jarred's suggestion)

Thursday: Grilled Chicken, Vodka Penne Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce, Roasted Asparagus (My favorite!)

Friday: Pepper Steak, Fried Rice, Pork Won Tons, Sweet & Sour Sauce (Madeline's pick!)  -- and yes, I actually do know how to make real Chinese food... when my dad was in the military they got to be friends with a couple who had restaurants back in China.  YUM!!!

Hope you have a blessed week!  Looks like Chloe & I get to do our weekly grocery run in our rain boots today! FUN!
