BBQ Drumsticks
I cooked the best BBQ Chicken tonight and wanted to share the recipe.
The picture is crappy because I didn't think about doing this 'til there was only one left, but I always want to see pictures of what I'm cooking. I got the recipe here.
I put the wings in the glass pan pictured above and sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic and ginger on them. Flipped them over and seasoned them again. In another bowl I mixed the vinegar, brown sugar and ketchup (1 cup of each) and then poured it over the chicken. Put the pan in the fridge for two hours and then put it straight into the oven for an hour. Oh, I did turn the chicken in the pan halfway through cooking. yum.

1:1:1=ratio vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup (try ½ cup of each, add more if needed)
Lay the wing/joints/whatever out in a 9x14 pan neatly side by side and put garlic salt, black pepper, ginger--anything you want on--small sliced tomatoes from garden, odd peppers, orphan garden vegetables.
Add the soaking mixture in globs on top of each and cook for 1 hour at 375.

Happy Birthday Jaida
We started off the morning singing Happy Birthday with birthday french toast.
The kids were out of school for President's Day so we went to Del Taco for lunch - they have a play place that is not as busy as McDonald's. Kayla almost got away with wearing Honey,into the place.
Then we came home and watched Jaida decorate her cake.
Kayla wanted to help sooo bad. This is pretty much as close as Jaida would let Kayla get.
We decorated a little.
Just as we lit the candles and brought the cake out to Jaida, Joey started throwing up and Kylan tried to grab a piece of the cake (and got a bunch of frosting).
It's okay Kylan. :)
Another round of Happy Birthday and then she blew out the candles.
"Hmmmm which piece do I want....?" And it really took forever for her to decide.
Cake and ice cream time.
Present Time!
"Heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head, what do you wish me with a bump on the head?" Jaida wish Kayla some gum.
Joey couldn't be left out of present time no matter how bad he felt. I think that Jaida wished that he would feel better.
Kylan's turn to get some "bump on the head" action. Plus Jaida wished that he wouldn't fall anymore (when climbing).
Monty and I got the best wishes from Jaida. She wished that I would be nicer to her and wished that Dad would be a big poopcicle. Isn't she sweet?
She had a great Birthday!! Thank you to the Grandmas and Grandpas that called!!

My New Hairstyle
Dear Joey, I love your hair today. It probably hasn't been brushed in... I don't know... Monty, have you brushed Joey's hair lately? So anyway, I was thinking that I would take you to the hair shop with me and ask them to cut my hair like yours. :)
Happy Valentine's Day
Did anyone else have a completely crazy day? Mine started out with yelling, fighting and crying from all the kids. Kylan had a well check and got three shots. I got to sit down and eat/talk to Monty for 10 minutes before he went to work. We opened Valentine's, delivered Valentine's, played with friends, did homework, made cookies, individually wrapped 32 cookies, worked and on and on... I took a few pics to show you some of our day.
Before Kayla came home I hurried and decorated the kitchen. This is what it looked like at 12pm. When Kayla got home she said, "OH MY GAWSH IT'S SO RED! JUST LIKE CLIFFORD!" She always makes you feel so good. :)
Made cookies.
Tomorrow is Kayla's Clifford Birthday party at school so we made dog bone cookies for her class and heart cookies with the rest of the dough.
The finished product.
After school the kids played with friends and delivered Valentine's to the neighbor kids. I watched them go to one house and Kayla is yelling, "Hurry Joey, run! RUN! Come and hide with me!" (they got caught at that house). The next house no one was home so they brought the Valentine's home (great, now they'll never go back (and they didn't)).
Then I gave Kylan a bath to help with the hurt of his shots. Kayla wanted to get in too but was way to crazy for Kylan (surprise) so he got out and Kayla stayed in. When I came to check on her everything was GREEN! I know that in this pic it looks blue, but it was really green. She had dumped a TON of Monty's shampoo on her head. Her head was green, her face was green and her body had green streaks running down it. Kayla had two baths today.
Remember the pretty picture of the Valetine's day table at 12pm? This is what it looked like at 9pm.
And to top off the night Joey left me this little surprise to clean up.
I was feelin' the Valentine love.

Never A Dull Sunday
Dear family and friends, I just wanted to post this most awesome picture of my kids to let you see that they are ALL dressed - at the same time. Rare moment. (jaida is running from kayla who she just made cry)
Dear me, please remember that most of your nursery is two and under and we should not do crafts anymore.
Dear Monty, how many fights did we break up today?!
Dear Jaida, even thought I sent you to your room for the rest of the night you knew it was coming when you made Kayla cry one last time. I do still love ya and thank goodness that by tomorrow it will all be forgotten.
Dear Kayla, you stayed dressed almost the entire day. Two beads for you!
Dear Joey, no more screaming, please.
Dear Kylan, you're the cutest dang thing ever!
Is there a photo contest I can enter this pic into? I love the chicken's "expression".
Caption please.
Kylan did get his finger pecked when he stuck it through the wire but I guess it didn't hurt to bad, there was no crying.
