Christmas Wreath

So recently I have found my creative side. Thanks in part to my new scrapbooking buddies. But also, Pinterest, which has become my new addiction :)

I came accross the directions to make the paper flowers here. They are really simple! And here's what I did:

I know I am a terrible bow-tie-er. I need to work on that :)

I think it turned out super cute!

Taco Pie

I think we are going to start posting some of our recipes on here. Maybe one of them will become famous :)

Also, sorry for the picture. We were already eating when the decision was made to post this recipe. So our taco pie is half eaten. But this way you get to see the... layers... So we can pretend it was on purpose?

Dinner tonight is a Joey Original: Taco Pie.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef 
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg (12 oz) crescent rolls
1 pkg Fritos Corn Chips
1 pkg (8 oz) jack & cheddar cheese shredded
1 large tomato
2 cups lettuce
Sour Cream
Salsa

1. brown ground beef, add taco seasoning as the package directs, then set aside
2. dice tomato and lettuce
3. roll crescent rolls flat into long casserole dish, place into oven at 350 degrees for about 7 minutes
4. top crescent crust with ground beef, cover with Fritos and cheese - bake for about 7 more minutes
5. serve topped with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa and sour cream

To save some calories (which one of these days we will start doing again...) you can always use 99% lean ground turkey, non-fat sour cream and cheese, and skip the corn chips. Although, the corn chips do make the dish pretty delicious!

Recently...

Again, I apologize that I am such a bad blogger. I guess I don't feel like there is that much worth talking about? But I would like announce that Madison is finally on the right track to being completely potty trained. We've gone a week now with consistent going potty in the potty. Now we just have to get her to stay dry during naptime (which she does about half the time) and overnight (which is probably going to take longer). But we are very excited in the Myers household. We've done numerous potty dances, and have recieved dozens of "special treats." Jordan is also a wonderful, supportive big sister. She is just as excited for Sissy when she uses the potty as we are, and often participates in the potty dance herself! Joey and I are definitely hoping to be completely out of pull ups before we have to buy another box :)
