Not only are they darling but I pretty much had to arm wrestle them away from Max and Madeline. I won the wrestle, kind of...I ate three quarters of one. Yumm-yumm

p.s. I managed to save the last one for steve-o, he was very grateful.

We LOVE you Kathy and Happy Birthday!!! Luvs, SBMM&H

Anyhow, on to more pressing matters. Taco Soup. Last week my sister posted a recipe for Taco soup on her blog and I made it today for Sunday lunch/dinner, linner. I didn't have corn and I drained all the beans of their juices (not realizing I wasn't supposed to) and so it looks more like taco chili than soup. But let me tell you it is delicious! And soooo easy to make. It took me about 25 minutes start to finish. I didn't put it in the slow cooker like I should, I wanted it done quick, but I did let it simmer for about 10 minutes. I can only imagine how delicious it would taste marinating in a slow cooker.

For the recipe go here, you will not regret it.

Here is the view above our bed in the Master bedroom. I just love it. I can't wait to watch all four seasons pass with the trees and the mountains. I am so excited for Spring!

At around the age of 24 I was done with making new friends every year. I was so tired of making friends and then someone going somewhere and try as we may, never really able to keep in contact. (no facebook, twitter, blog, etc...I didn't use email before the age of 23, good grief!)

I am bound and determined to stay put here for a VERY long time. So to all you girls out here in K-town who I have become friends with, you are NOT allowed to leave me! ;)

It's probably not one for the men folk, but can I just say this Irish actor is dreamy beyond dreamy in a strange way. (not as dreamy as Steve, of course)

It is a sad day for me and especially for Henry. His feet are much too big for these stylish and very comfy baby moccasins. My friend Susan made them and they were awesome! When he was just little bitty, they fell off but once his foot grew into them they were a dream come true. Unfortunately, I never got a picture of them on, well I did, but it is on my mac laptop which died a couple of months ago.
