one thing is for sure....i have some cute kids!

Ta'da!

Well it still needs some trimming, but my dear dad came to my rescue. Collin wanted to take the clippers to my beloved honeysuckle. Thanks Daddy! Doesn't it look nice with the arbor?

Is there a walk way in there???

Stay tuned....

Happy Birthday Mom

She was a pretty lady for sure! Miss you mom and wish you were here so the kids could sing to you. Happy Birthday!

Update

I am realizing that this is sounding a lot more dramatic than it probably really is. I am just overwhelmed with life right now. Collin job requires him to work a lot which makes this really tough on the home front. It is a plus to have him here in the mornings, but I personally would like him here more at night. I think the kids would too because mommy doesn't have the fun routine that daddy does. The financial side of things isn't the greatest so I just think all these things added together just make me really tired. Sorry to sound like a whinner. Last night I didn't write anything for that very reason. Everytime I go to put my thoughts down on blog I am like "GIRL quite your whinning!" I have so much to be thankful for like Norah sleeping 10.5 hours! Please continue to pray for us.

Tired....

Sorry that I said I was going to write an update, but right now I am without words. All I can really say is I am tired for a lot of reasons. Thank you for your prayers I appreciate them more than you will ever know.

Freezer Meals

This last weekend it happened! Some of us from Grace have been talking about doing freezer meals for a long time and Rachel made it happen. Thank you Rachel!! I am excited about being able to pull something out of the freezer and be done! Also if you are in the market for a Turkey Burger Recipe here you are. This is the best one I have come across by far.

Tasty Turkey Burgers

1 pkg. Ground Turkey

1/2 cup chopped spinach

1/2 crumbled feta

1/2 red onion chopped

2 tsp garlic minced

2 Tblspn. steak seasoning (Montreal is my fav)

Combine together and make patties. I suggest you freeze them before hand (at least 20 min) so that they do not fall apart on the BBQ.

If you want a spice burger you can mix 1 cup of majo with 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 1 tsp cumin. Add some diced veggies to it as well. Tomato, red or green pepper, onion or avocado.

Bon Appetite!

Busy Busy Bee

So it seems that we have been quite busy in the Bustanoby house hold. Blogging has been on my mind, but getting the time to do it has been the hard part. I mentioned to some of my friends that I would be quite the gal if I had a personal assistant. I am feeling as though I have so much going on that I can't get anything done. Argh! But we have been able to have some fun in all the chaos as well.
Here are a few picture from our day trip to Whidbey Island. The kids got to ride a horse and a donkey ;) Reese was a little timid at first, but warmed up quickly. Dallas was a natural cowboy!
