Where did all her hair go? I can't believe i actually agreed to this but after the last week of crying every morning while trying to get knots and snarls out of her hair i finally agreed to chop it off. She has been asking me to cut it for a few weeks now and i guess i was scared to cut off all that long hair. 5 1/2 inches to be exact. I'm sad but also happy! Her hair looks so healthy now and no more tangles!

Sew Cute!!

I found this cute skirt on Heather Baileys website. She has made this cute skirt with her new fabrics, which i love. They are so bright and fun. She had the pattern for the skirt that you could download so i decided to give it a try. I found her fabrics at the Quiltique shop. The skirt was so fun and easy to make i'm ready to make another.

I asked Kenady if i could take a couple of shots of her in her new skirt and of course she was up for it. She is so funny to take pictures of because she really gets into it and when you are finished she will say "Just a few more, please?!" so we have about 30 pictures of her posing in her skirt, but i thought 2 would be o.k. for my blog! Needless to say she can't wait for church on Sunday!

Stewart and Logan got on me this morning because they aren't on my list of bloggers anymore. I took them off because a few months ago they said they weren't going to blog anymore. They have both been blogging alot lately so i told them i would add them back on and let everyone know they are back in business. Also for those of you who have private blogs i am sad to say i don't have you listed anymore because everytime i try to put your password in and open it my computer freezes up on me. I don't know why this is happening but it is really frustrating because i have to shut the whole computer down and start it back up. It's not just one blog but all of them. I am really sad because i don't get to see what is going on in everyone's lifes anymore. Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me?

Cafe Rio Chicken Tortilla Soup

I found this recipe and tried it last night. It is sooo yummy i thought i would share it!

1 recipe taco chicken (recipe follows)

1 lb. chicken breasts

2 juicy limes

a splash of red wine vinegar

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

Juice the limes and combine with a couple splashes of red wine vinegar. Add garlic and pour over chicken. Turn chicken occasionally to marinate all over. Marinate at least 4 hours. Combine spices and rub all over chicken. Grill on barbeque. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before slicing so you don't lose all the juice. Now you are ready to make the soup.

1 large onion, chopped

1 T. garlic, minced

4 cans chicken broth

1 15oz. can diced tomatoes

2 jalapeno peppers

1/4 c. fresh lime juice (3-4 limes)

1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper

In a large pot over medium heat add 3T. olive oil and onions. Saute 4 minutes. Add garlic and minced Jalapenos without seeds and cook a few more minutes. Add diced chicken, chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. While soup is simmering, juice the limes and set aside. Right before serving, add lime juice to the soup. Ladle soup into bowls and add toppings. We like crushed tortilla chips, grated cheese and avocados.
