I Love my Crock Pot...

... especially when it's cold outside!

This is what we are having for dinner

I saw the recipe here and it's really good and quick.

You use Chicken (I use 3 large breasts), 1 can cream of chicken, 1 brick cream cheese, 1 packet Italian Dressing mix & 1/2 cup water. Throw it all in the Crock Pot and cook on high for the first hour and 1/2, mix it all up with a spoon making a sauce. Put the lid back on and cook on medium for another 2 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. We've had it with rice and a veggie, but it would be yummy with potatoes or noodles too!

This might be what I make tomorrow, Yum!

The cutest thing ever... I just asked Jess if she wanted mashed potatoes or rice with it. She said I want "smashed matatoes." hahaha! She started talking pretty young and talks very good. That was so cute! :-)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Although I would rather be singing that around Christmas time!

The kids were so happy it snowed on Saturday! Josh and Jessica were out there the longest. Jaren was only out the first 15 minutes and I didn't have my camera out then. Josh made a mini snowman, then he asked if he made a snow fort could he sleep in it... Matt said sure! So Josh made 2 layers with the block makers then they came in for lunch and when they remembered to go back out it was almost dark. Maybe next time, when we have a little more snow.

My fall decorations look a little out of place, don't they?

I went down the road to the craft fair and got a few things. They still had 40 min until it was over, but a few were starting to put things away, which was a little annoying, but they were marking down the prices... that was nice!

and a few bows for Jess. Look at the white/purple and red, a lady crocheted them!

Our Halloween...

Halloween was great! A week before Halloween our ward put on a Carnival. What kid doesn't love games, candy and seeing all their friends in their costumes. {sorry no pics from that night... dead battery} On Thursday, the boys had a Halloween Party at school and got to wear costumes. {I helped in Justin's class, pictures below} Thursday night we drove to Idaho - the kids didn't have school Friday and Matt took the day off! G-ma & G-pa's ward had a Carnival/Trunk or Treat on Halloween during the day, so we got to go to that! {This is where I took some pics - but was only able to get a few on the internal memory because I forgot my memory card!} Then we drove around to Trick or Treat/visit with my family.

{Note to self... take more pictures!}

Justin's class Party. They sang a Halloween song, played games and had green slime {juice} and a cookie!
