Our Easter Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend. The weather was very Very cold, so that kind of but a damper on outdoor activities, but we still managed to have fun. Our complex had a little easter egg hunt for the kids and Mason loved hunting for the eggs. We also colored eggs which was also a big hit with Mason. I have always loved the Easter Holiday and missed some of the traditions that we always do back home (Like the egg bust and the Steel family egg hunt for the "Big Kids"). Here are a few pictures from our weekend!

A new recipe

So I haven't posted a recipe in a while, recipe Monday kind of died out. But I think we all need to start posting some again. I am struggling with thinking of meals each week! I came across this recipe and thought I would give it a try. It ended up being really yummy. So yummy I snapped a shot of it and thought I would post it. ( I always like a visual to get my mouth watering). So here it is:

Turkey Bacon Paninos

1 avocado, peeled and pitted
4 Tbsp ranch dressing
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices pepper jack cheese (I only had swiss so I used that)
12 slices turkey
8 pieces cooked bacon
12 slices tomato

Mash avocado and add ranch dressing until smooth; sauce should still appear green. For each sandwich, spread sauce on two slices of sourdough bread. Lay two slices of cheese, three slices of turkey, two pieces of bacon, and three slices of tomato between the slices of bread. Brush the outside of the bread with olive oil and grill untill cheese melts (We used the george foreman grill).
This is how they ended up. We thought they were good, and even Mason ate his up!

Tanner Boy!!

Thought I would post a picture of Tanner since I haven't done one recently and he is growing and changing so quickly! We love our cute little guy!

OUr SnOWY WeekEnD!!

What do you do when you have the biggest snow storm of the year come in March when you are sooo wanting spring to come?? Well, you make the best of it and be thankful it came on the weekend and that your husband is such a great dad and takes your little boy out to play in it for hours. Yes, we had a big old snow storm come and Mason was loving it. He and Drew went out and made a snowman and also went sledding down the hills behind our house. I was happy to stay inside where it was nice and warm with Tanner (I am not much of a snow girl or the cold). What a great daddy my kids have! He was having just as much fun as Mason was!
