I started this thing with my kids that they each need to learn how to cook so when the move out on their own they will be prepared. Andrew does awesome at it and has even taken cooking classes at school cause he enjoys it soo much. Well Lexi started showing interest in doing harder cooking now and not just basic. I had soo much fun with Lexi Tuesday night. She decided that she wanted to cook something more advanced so she pulled out my Hooters Cook book and flipped through it and picked a receipe. So after school Tuesday we had everything to make the Mini meat loaves except for sausage so she walked through the grocery store picked out the sausage and a vegetable and went home and got started. She was soo cute scrubbing the potatoes and mixing all the ingredients for her meal. She of course made me mix it with my hands cause there was no way she was going to touch it. But she thought it was a riot to stuff the meat mixture inside of the cup cake pans. The house smelled sooo dang good all the kids kept walking in and saying how delicious everything smelled. You did an awesome job Lex best meal this week by far!! I highly recommend the receipe. For just one pan of 12 it calls for 1 lb hamburger, 1 lb ground sausage (mild) 1/4 chopped green pepper, 1 garlic clove pressed, can use chopped onion (opt), 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs, 2 eggs, salt and pepper to taste, 2 TBSP Woercheshire sauce, mix and press in greased cup cake tins and bake for 30 min on 400 delish !!! It was such a learning experience for her between the corn bread the meatloaf receipe and the stuffed potatoes she got a lot of math practice in with all the measurements.

Reflections Contest
We are so proud of Brayden he won in the schools Reflections Contest in photography and was sent on to Region. He was so excited to go see if he won again. He didn't win region but he did get an Honorable Mention for a judges favorite so he was happy!! Out of 45 entries they only picked 4 winners to move on to District and they only had 3 Honorable Mentions or judges favorites so he was pretty proud of himself. When I get his entry back I will post picture of what he entered.

Happy New Year!!!
Our family would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. We had to redo our blog cause our old email does not work anymore so I promise from here on out to keep you all updated a lot more than the past year. We all had a wonderful Christmas even with Mom being sick all the kids helped out a lot and Jeff you are a lifesaver thanks for helping with all the last minute shopping. Christmas was always my favorite time of year and now that my kids are getting older they are getting more and more expensive so I'm thinking not so much fun anymore!!
This Christmas Jeff told everybody he wasn't going to decorate the outside he was going to be a grinch this year but the kids and the neighborhood kids talked him into it and of course he gave in. Thanks Sheryl for talking his decorating at Bunko since I was hosting December he had to live up to your comments.
For New years Jeff and my brothers took the kids to the horses and pulled the kids on the sleds they all had a blast. Brayden and Andrew were soo excited they got on Patches bare back and didn't get bucked off!! I have learned this year so far not to play Super Mario Brothers with my boys instead of working as a team they love to pick me up and throw me off cliffs. Thanks boys LOVE you too!! Hopefully this year will be a wonderful one for us and all of our friends and family. We wish you all the best this year and years to come!!!
