Menu Plan for July 6th

Wow! It's been a while since I've done a menu post and this week, I've even got it done early ;o)
Some of my friends are doing a "Pantry Challenge" this week, but I basically did that the last two weeks, so I need to go shopping :o) I did, however, plan my menu around cooking outside all week in order to keep from heating up the house. I will be using my electric skillet and my BBQ to cook dinner on the back deck.

Monday - Rotisserie Chicken - We have a rotisserie attachment for our BBQ, so I will be putting it to good use!

Tuesday - Beef tips and noodles - The beef mixture will be cooked in the skillet and the noodles will be cooked on the burner on the BBQ.

Wednesday - Leftovers - My girls have horseback ridding lessons and my mom takes them out for dinner afterward, so it will just be me and "the boys".

Thursday - Garlic Chicken and Broccoli - Another skillet dish with chicken leg quarters, rice and broccoli.

Friday - Skillet chicken pot pie - I will be kinda making this up (yikes!) using chicken leftover from Monday and biscuit mix for a "topping".

Saturday - Steak with potatoes and salad - The steak and potatoes will be cooked on the BBQ.

Sunday - Potato bar - Again the potatoes will be cooked on the BBQ.

So anyway, that's my plan for the week. I hopefully won't have to turn my stove or oven on at all (except maybe for breakfast)! For more menu plans, visit Organizing Junkie.

What a beautiful day!!!

It was such a beautiful afternoon that I took the kids outside to get a few pictures. Then I had fun editing the pictures and trying out some neat effects. Here are a few of the results.

I think this is probably my favorite. The red rose on B & W just looks so cool!

The soft focus just makes this picture look so beautiful!

I didn't edit this one. I thought it was a great picture by itself.

I really like this one too! It's hard to get a good one of all three of them together!

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did!

Birthday's

We decided to celebrate the June birthdays together this year. So we celebrated Munchkin's, my brothers and my birthdays in one big celebration. Here are a few pictures.

Here is the cake I made for Munchkin's birthday.

Here are "the kids" waiting for the candles to be lit (the brownies were my brothers and my "cake")

Memorial Day Weekend

These pictures are a little old now, but I still wanted to share them. We went to the coast for Memorial Day Weekend and these are a few of the stops we made on our way home.

This is the light house at Yaquina Bay.

These are from the beach we stopped at to play.

These are some pelicans that flew over us while we were playing on the beach.

This is Heceta Head light house.

Ballet pictures

I'm a little behind in my blogging, so I'm going to try to get caught up :o) These are the pictures I took from Munchkin's ballet class. She is in the costume she wore for her ballet performance.

I hope you enjoy them!

Parental Rights

A parent’s right to raise their children as they see fit is a time-honored American tradition, but today it is being threatened. The Supreme Court’s Troxel v. Granville decision in 2000 undermined a 75-year heritage of Constitutionally-protected, fundamental parental rights, which 8 of the 9 justices abandoned. At the same time, a growing body of international law fuels activist judges to legislate foreign standards from the American bench, while treaties such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child would subject parental decisions to government oversight and international review.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (MI-2) has proposed HJR-42, the Parental Rights Amendment, to stop the erosion of parental rights in American courts while simultaneously defending our laws from international invasion. Please, visit parentalrights.org to learn more about the Amendment, and to join their email network by signing the petition to protect parental rights.

This is a subject close to Hubby and I's hearts. I urge everyone to check out the information on the website above.
