Wedding Bells

Moo and Matt were married last night.

Ashton and Josie have been very sick the last couple of days, so our original plan of "all of us going to witness it" didn't exactly work out. In fact, I almost missed it myself.

 ...but, as you can see, I did get there. ...Just in time in fact. I am so overjoyed I was able to witness this amazing moment in my mom's life.

Afterward, we had dinner at Tassone's and we had a special cake from her favorite bakery.

Mom and Matt, I love you. I am so happy for you. Congratulations. ((Hugs, Hugs, Hugs)) You mean the world to me.

We also celebrated Moo's birthday this weekend.

Finally, the kids and I picked up this book from the library a couple of weeks ago.

I had the kids look through the book and pick out which recipes they wanted to make for the week. To be honest, I really love Rachael Ray. Mostly because I am the proud owner of her yellow cookware set and her   Little Hoot dinnerware set. I have grabbed a few of her recipes online before but I had yet to try an actual cookbook. We had a lot of fun with the new recipes.

A couple of favorites from the week that will now be in our dinner rotation (click on names for recipe links)-
Turkey sloppy joes with cheese fries

Worms and eyeballs. -As gross of a name that it has (remember, it is directed toward children), it was super delicious. This is actually a picture of my lunch the next day from the leftovers. The only thing I'd recommend, is to roll the meatballs in some of the extra hoisin sauce for extra flavor before serving. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

A couple of other great recipes we tried recently
Pizza popcorn
Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Here's hoping for healthier kids, continued beautiful weather and everlasting happiness for all of you.

Much love to the newlyweds!

((Hugs to all)) I love you. You know?
