My wonderful......

Godson is in Texas on his Birthday and I hate it! Your a Nebraska boy. We all miss you and love you so much. Thank you for being an awesome Nephew, but most of all my special Godson. I love you Seth.  Please come home soon  kid...............I miss the H out of you!

Tasty Tuesday's....

.....and I have a winner! OMG. I just ate this and it is to die for! RUN get the ingredients....but I do love Chicken :)

Crockpot Italian Chicken

4 chicken breasts

1 packet dry Zesty Italian dressing (Regular is fine but I like zesty better. Sometimes I use a packet and a half.)

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1-2 cans cream of chicken soup (depending how cream cheesy you want it)

Place the chicken in a crockpot and sprinkle Italian dressing over it. Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat and pour over chicken. Cook on low for at least 4 hours. You can leave it in there all day.  Once chicken is done you can leave the chicken breasts whole, cube it, or even shred it. I always cut the breasts into tenderloin size strips.


If you feel the sauce is too thick you can thin it to your preferred consistency with a little milk. Serve over pasta or rice.


I did not serve it over pasta or rice, I just ate the whole breast and it was wonderful!!!! 


I'll post some photos later of my prep and eating :) 

Flashback Friday.......

is all about my Nephew Sheldon and my Newman Grove Bluejays. Oh how I miss watching you play football Shel.......I will never forget your last game. It really did break my heart to see you so broken hearted. Those were the best of days. I am glad I made as many games as I did. I guess I will always be a Bluejay :)

As I texted you....the "The Boys of Fall" reminds of me of you. So....this was the last picture I took of you at your last High School Football game.....THANKS for all the great memories Kid...I love you!  I grateful for every moment of every game.........

Wrestling season just might kill me..... :)

When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads
Standing in the huddle listening to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall
They didn't let just anybody in that club
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood
To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall
Kings of the school man, we're the boys of fall

Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes
It's fighting back them butterflies
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball
And it's knocking heads and talking trash
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall
You mess with one man you got us all
The boys of fall

In little towns like mine that's all they got
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops
The old men will always think they know it all
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall

Well it's turn and face the Stars and Stripes
It's fighting back them butterflies
It's call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball
And it's knocking heads and talking trash
It's slinging mud and dirt and grass
It's I got your number, I got your back when your back's against the wall
You mess with one man you got us all

We're the boys of fall

We're the boys of fall

Thankful Thursdays......

I am thankful that I smart. I figured out that when you run out of cardboard boxes......use file boxes to transport your booze. I might just be the queen of packing after this :) 

What's a girl to do....

when she runs out of empty boxes when packing the booze cabinet up?

The handiest tool on the farm

Who knew????

You take the empty file boxes that were once filled with 100's of outdated Scrapbooking magazines that you threw out the day before and fill them with bottles of booze.......just FYI. This worked like a charm!!! I wonder if the professional packing companies would have frowned at me :)
