Embrace the camera

I'm new over at the anderson crew

but I have to say I LOVE this blog.

Its so sweet and I fell in love with

Embrace the camera.

It's a link up to get you in front of the camera

and have pictures with your kids.

She puts it best herself...

"I want them to have an abundance of pictures with us together.

I want them to remember me, and our day to day interactions.

The fun times we had.

The real times we had.

Our memories.

I wanted to make sure I was a part of those memories."

Lovely right.

So I'm embracing the camera.

Here is some of me and my little beauty

on her

One month birthday.

Achieving
My goal to go walking every day this week with the kiddos!! Exercise plus Ty gets to go outside!!!Its a win win!
Building
Building up some courage to start charging for add space on my blog. Would anyone actually pay for that???!! haha I want to be one of those cool bloggers who does sponsor posts and giveaways..looks fun. and a great way to make close bloggy friends.but scared nobody would buy it...
Collecting
A rather large grocery list. and seriously I feel like I JUST WENT SHOPPING!!!

Dealing with
My large muffin top. Still in the awkward in between stage of to thin for my maternity clothes and to fat for my regular clothes.
Enjoying
Ty is now putting himself down for his nap. I go in and tuck him in and kiss his little cheek...turn off the light and he falls asleep...we found that the trick is to leave the door open...This may not be a huge deal to some mamas...but in the past I had to sit in the room with him for a good hour while he starred at the ceiling trying to fall asleep...O man I am getting SO much laundry done now!!!

seven questions

1. Describe your perfect day.
Sleeping in. Snuggling with Jays all morning. Playing with the kids all day. and eating lots of yummy ice cream.
2.What was something that you were afraid of as a child?
Definitely small spaces. I don't know where it stems from??? I never had some traumatic experience. Nothing you would ever picture yourself laying down on a couch talking to a strange man in glasses holding a notebook asking you how you feel about it. BUT I am. weird. I was and still am a very claustrophobic person.
3. What's something you're afraid of today?
aw, woops. Guess I just answered that question. hmmm, another something I am scared of... I am scared to drive. Is that so weird. Again never had a traumatic experience. Never been in a wreck, but while driving I always am imagining every possible awful scenario.
4. Would you rather be obsessed with yourself or someone else?
Ah, someone else for sure. Myself is not super cool. I am defiantly obsessed with my husband. He is so sexy and sweet. Can't get enough of that hunk.
5. What is a favorite restaurant that you could visit over and over and never get sick of?
There is a place in Mesquite. Close to where I grew up. Called Sushi Masa. I worked right across the street from it...lets just say they got a lot of my business. AH sushi....yummm
6. What is one food you used to hate but now enjoy?
Well, lets talk some more about sushi. Does anyone start off liking it?? I don't think so. But once you try it...then its addicting!
7. Fill in the blank: Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. Wish I may, Wish I might..Have the wish I wish tonight.

Pizza Pie Meatloaf

*What ya got cookin?

- I REALLY want to start sharing my love for cooking.

Here is my first attempt.

enjoy.

Jayson and I freakin love Pizza Pie Meatloaf.

Not just love. Yea we freakin love it.

Jayson could eat the whole pan himself. It's a reoccurring dish at our place.

-No I didn't invent it.

haha I'm not the type to dream up my own dishes.

However I always make a few modifications after I have made it a time or two.

-Does mine look as good as the picture? Probably not. but it taste AMAZING!!!

The recipe calls for 2lbs beef

Jayson and I could NEVER eat that much

especially since Ty eats like a bird, it's basically only the two of us who make a dent in it.

So I either use 1lb or a half lb. and modify the recipe to match.

I will share the original 2lb recipe with my modifications.

Here it is if you can't read it well in the picture.

2lbs ground beef

11/2 C shredded Mozzarella cheese

1/2C dry unseasoned bread crumbs

1C stewed tomatoes

1/4C Grated Parmesan Cheese

1/4C Worcestershire sauce

1 Whole green bell pepper

11/3C French fried onions

-Pre heat oven to 350. Combine beef, 1/2C Moz cheese, bread crumbs, 1/2C Stewed tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix with fork tell well blended.

Place meat mixture into round pizza pan 9x1inch round. Bake 35min or tell no longer pink.

Drain fat.

Top with remaining stewed tomatoes, green pepper, moz cheese and fried onions. Bake 5min or until cheese is melted and onions are golden.
