a new son to love


This time last year i was asking my Jesus for a sweet little boy named Kaleb Isaiah. I asked more fervantly for Kaleb than i've asked Jesus for anything ever before.

Guess what?? My Jesus loves me so much that He saw fit to answer my cry!! On January 10, 2011 my son was born!!!

Thank you Father for answering the desires of my heart ~ no for BEING the desires of my heart!!! I love You God!! I rejoice over my son every day!!!

Dinner Tonight

Smothered Steaks and Mushrooms

I made this up myself!!!! I loved it!!!!

ingredients:
6 eye of round thin steaks that were pounded out
1 pack of Mickormic brown gravy mix
1 cup of cold water for the gravy mix
large pack of fresh sliced mushrooms
butter
vegetable oil
flour
garlic powder
natures seasoning
a little milk


What you do:

i had saved some flour with garlic and nature seasoning from another thing that i had made. So i floured the steaks on both sides and then put them into the pan with a little vegetable oil that was a little heated. Brown on both sides. Meanwhile, prepare gravy mix according to package directions and when the steaks are brown on both sides pour gravy over the steaks and add a little milk. Reduce heat to low and cover. In a seperate pan, saute the mushrooms in butter and garlic powder and add to the pan with the meat. Simmer for about 25ish minutes and enjoy!!!!!

YUMMY!!!!

If we offer her some food that she doesn't like or recognize she will spit out her tongue and make a splert sound!!! She also does that if I try to feed her sometimes because she wants to feed herself!!!

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now. As I type this Rachel is sitting in her Daddy's lap eating cereal from his bowl!!!! She has done that about three or four times since that picture a while ago!!

The terrific two's are on the way!!!!
