Necessary Roughness

Hello! Where are all the Fantasy Football players? So far there are only three signed up. Too chicken to play I guess.

I'm So Lucky!

I hate to brag, but my dad did another "Surprise! I'm coming over to make you breakfast again." Two weeks in a row! I am absolutely grateful for such a kind and giving dad and pappaw. I certainly don't deserve him, but am thankful just the same. As you can see, we had french toast, bacon, sausage, steak, and of course, the famous Sherratt hash browns. Mmmmmm! I'll have to cook breakfast for some of you sometime, so you can experience the deliciousness.



This is Ryan and Kira stuffed into a bag. The only reason I blogged this is, because it brought back childhood memories of being stuffed into a sleeping bag cover. I love that kids can find joy in the simplest of things!

I Lova the Spaghetti!

At least that's what all these guys were saying. Normally I have at least one or two kids complaining about dinner. Tonight I had seven hungry little mouths to feed, so I made spaghetti and homemade meatballs. They loved it. Every single one of them. They were going on and on about how good it was. I felt so great with my accomplishment, that I thought I'd share the recipe with you. See Below:


Spaghetti:
A jar of Ragu (Tomato, Garlic, and Onion)
26oz can of Hunts (Traditional)
Spaghetti Noodles (As much as you need)

Meatballs:
I didn't measure any of this, so it's an approximation.
1 Egg
2 Tbsp Dried Minced Onion
2 Slices of Bread Cubed
2 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes
1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
1 tsp Worchestershire Sauce
1/4 cup Milk
Dash Pepper

Mix these ingredients together, then add 1 lb of ground beef. Mix well. Form into meatballs. Brown in a skillet with oil. Combine Spaghetti Sauces in a large pot. Place meatballs in sauce. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Scoop over cooked Spaghetti Noodles. It's that simple.

Super Dad

My dad is the best! I got a phone call from him this morning. He called to see if he could come over and make us breakfast. How nice is that. Of course I say YES! He made the famous Sherratt hash browns, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, and eggs. We all helped. It was a scrumptious brunch. Thanks dad!

Andrew-ella

I did not force this chore upon my little Cinderella. I promise. I was mopping up sticky spots left by the kids, and I left the mop against the countertop. Next thing I know, Andrew was mopping the floor. What a good kid, or maybe just good parenting skills. Ya right!

Crazy Ange

Ange was being silly marching back and forth on the table. We thought it was funny. So here it is...

Huge Slip-n-Slide

Check out this AWESOME Slip-n-Slide that Ryan Molnar Rigged up. The kids had a blast on the 4th going down this huge monstrosity of a slide. What a ride!

A Ride With G-Pa

Grandpa Ray was going to give the grandkids a ride on his new Harley last week, but ended up not being able to. He did bring home the child size helmet for all the kids to try on. They look forward to taking a ride with their Grandpa. I'm not as thrilled, but I trust him to look out for his grandkids. And no, Andrew will not have a turn.

Our Pet Frog...

Or at least for a few minutes. Brooke found this little tiny frog in our yard. All the kids had a turn holding the frog. After I took the picture of the frog in Brooke's hands the frog jumped. Brooke caught it before it could land, but thinks he may have squeezed him a little to hard. So we let him go. Hopefully he survived. Bye Froggy. :(

California Adventure

This was our last trip to Disney/Cali. Adventure. Have you heard of the Tower of Terror? Well, Kira went on it and loved it. She can't wait to go back. Of course Caitlyn went on it too. She liked it, but not as strongly as Kira. Ryan saw Lightning Mc Queen in a parade, but couldn't stand the loud music. He curled himself up into a ball in the stroller, and covered his ears. Poor Ry Guy. Andrew was freaked out by everything. Can't wait to go back.
