Leftovers

nana came to visit and a special trip to Sesame Street Live is happening :)
and this is the reason for a Thursday post.

mirabelle's new word... {baby}. she points to my belly and says {baby}

i will never understand the amount of $$ people waste on buying a brand new car. do you really think that is being a good steward of how spend your money?

when imogen reads her {frozen} book. she stops on the pages and sings the appropriate song that would correspond to that page.

a new recipe hit the house this week and i have to say it is definitely a must. {thanks taralyn}
p.s. i posted it on the bottom just for those of you wanting to try it.

tonight embarks the first ever awards banquet for my greasy monkey's work in which the wives are invited. it's a black and white affair. and this calls for date night with our dear friend's melissa and doug.

thankfully we get the olympics on our 1 of 5 channels.

no ripping of books has happened this week {so far} so they are allowed back in her bed for the time being.

i've decided this babe in me just waddles around. i think we have a little penguin on our hands.

no matter what shoes {or no shoes} i put on my mira love, she always brings me her john deere boots to put on her. thank you aunt jenn!

today is my nephew shepherd's second birthday. happy day sheppy!

i realized i am constantly washing and wearing the same pants over and over again. the sad thing is, i think the same thing would be happening even if i wasn't pregnant.

we are meant for so much more. i am reminded that this is not about me and i need to quit trying to make it about me.

anyone know where i can get pasture-raised eggs on the cheap?

late nights for my giant and that means sleeping in for my girlies {most mornings}

hanging out in mommy's room and i couldn't get enough of her smiles so i grabbed my camera and here's some pics of my precious 14 month old.

and of course big sis wanted in on the action too!

Brisket Tacos

 Get a 5 lb. sirloin tip roast and rub meat with the following mixture:

1 TBS chili powder

2 tsp cumin

2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

Put it in the crock pot and cover with:

1 cup salsa

1 TBS lime juice

3 . garlic cloves (minced)

1 onion (chopped)

Cook on low for 8-10 hours.  Shread meat with two forks in the juice.  Add chopped green onions and chopped cilantro just before serving.  You can serve it on tortillas, rice, or whatever sounds good!

I keep any leftover meat in the juice and reheat it IN the juice so it stays moist. Enjoy :)

happy weekend!
