Everyday Craziness


This weekend has been a whirlwind...fun, but crazy. Thursday we went to a mission banquet with some good friends of ours. Friday we went to the Quails Unlimited dinner and had a rockin' good time. Saturday I went to Scrapbooking while Emma hung out with daddy all day. In the evening we went to church for the Chili cookoff. Emma had a ball running all over and eating great food. Wouldn't you know it...my chili was chosen as the best chili. WooHoo. My prize was an apron that my mom embroidered. Sunday has been a day to get one million and one things done. Have you ever woke up at 4 in the morning and had so many things running through your head that you actually started writing them down on paper?? Well, I ended up with 21 to do's for today. Whooo...after I submit this post I can cross one item off the list. :) We are finally all healed and back to good health. We are gearing up for the busy, busy week ahead.
I have posted the chili recipe for you to try this week. It is great for a cool fall evening. Can be put in the crockpot...but, can also be put on the stove for a quick meal.
