Exploding Crust?

You cant tell, but underneath that exploding crust is a yummy chicken pot pie. I thought some might find this funny. I tried the bisquick recipe for chicken pot pie crust, doubled the recipe because what it made the first time just didnt seem like enough and...VOILA! Uh... I'll remember this for next time. It was very good though.

Did you know that.....

My husband has a love for taking pictures. I am so excited for this hobby of his. He enjoys capturing beautiful places, and I am grateful he has taken more interest in this hobby more recently. Enjoy his new photo journal blog called Fuzzy Memories. Goodluck sweethart!

Hello World -

Well, it has only taken me something like 10 days to get back into my normal routine. We did have a really wonderful Christmas vacation though and LOVED seeing our families. It was great to see Henry with all of his cousins. We are also enjoying the new year very much. We did stay up until 12:00am this year! The first in a while simply because I was preggo and working one year and nursing a baby that would be up all night anyway another. Well we finally stayed up! Josh and I were lucky enough to be able to buy a WII with all of our Christmas money and a few games. We competed all night together. It was so much fun. The WII is one of those things I never cared to own, but having it is so much fun. I love my sweet family and am so grateful every day for them. Happy New Year!
