6 out of 7, not bad!!

Very nice Ladies!!! Now we need to put the pressure on Angie to Join.

So the next thing I think we need to post is one of our favorite, simple, quick, recipes. I know it sounds lame and house-wifey, but I LIKE to cook damnit, and I won't be shunned for it. So here's mine and I think a few of you have it already.


Chicken Enchiladas: by natalie watts

1 large 10oz can white meat chicken
1 can cream of celery
1/2 cup sour cream
half an onion chopped (optional)
1 can MILD enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded cheese (colby jack is my fav)
5-6 flour tortillas

saute' onion in a little butter or olive oil until tender. put in a mixing bowl and add chicken, 1 cup cheese, sour cream, cream of celery, and 1/4 the can of sauce and mix together. I like to mash the chicken chunks up, so it is smoother.

warm tortillas slightly in micro to soften and fill tortillas with mixture. Place in a GREASED baking dish and top with remaining cheese and enchilada sauce. cover with foil and Bake 350 for about 20 min or so until bubbly. Top with chopped fresh tomatos...YUMMY


-This really is a fast, cheap, and dang good meal!!!

It is about time!!!!!

How is everyone????? It has been a long time!!! We need to do a recap of everyone. I will try really hard to come up with 6 things....here goes:

1- I get to leave this cold snowy crap in 10 days and counting!!! (Kris I am with you I HATE WINTER)
2- I had bad luck this past year. My air conditioner went out in Aug, my stove exploded in November, Trav's car died in December, my heater died in January. Don't try to add it all up, it still hurts my head $$$$$$
3- I love having potty trained kids!!!!! I haven't changed a diaper in over 6 months!!!
4- I registered Izzy for Kindergarten the other day, and I think I was more excited than she was!
5- I have been sick since Christmas.



My kids however have been loving the snow!!! They built a snow fort and played in it for hours!!!.
6- Sandy finally got me to cut back on Diet Coke!

Your newest TEAM MEMBER

I'm finally a part of the super-cool blogger team. This is fun. Here are 6 things about me (Stacy, we noticed you dodged that, by the way):

1. Breastfeeding makes me GAIN weight. I weighed myself the other day, and I basically haven't lost any weight since the pregnancy.

2. My name is Kristen Olsen and I'm addicted to Avon Lotion (still).

3. Cold weather pisses me off. I've lived here practically all my life, yet every winter, I'm shocked with how freaking cold it gets here and how people still choose to live in such a horrible, cold, horrible place.

4. I'm actually a blonde (haha).

5. I'm in the process of buying a car that runs on vegetable oil.

6.. I love my life. Despite two sick kids, a way-too-busy, way-too-stressful schedule, and house we can't sell, I'm still really happy.

Now, how do you post a picture on this thing? Oh, here it is. These pictures are from the fall because I haven't updated my computer. Sorry. Peter's a cutie, so I'll work on that.

Hurray! It's back

Awsome, we are back up and running. I have been in a L7 slump. It was really fun to see Kris and baby Peter (with the british accent, of

course) Thanks Nat and Amelia for playing "tagged." I hope the rest of you do it also. It is so fun to learn random things about eachother. I guess we will have to shave Amelia's head next time we have a sleep over!

Way to be Amelia!!!

Thanks Amelia for starting the blog again. Loved the pics...I think that was the only time I actually got dressed and did my makeup while I was pregnant. I can't believe Tate was that little. Lets have a sleepover SOON!!

6 things about Natty

1-I could stay in the bathtub and read ALL day if I could.

2-I have passed 7 kidney stones (3 while prego)

3-I think I have extra sensitive skin, because I hate the feeling of clothes, getting my back tickled or just people rubbing my bare skin...ewwww.

4-Almost every morning Tate and I drive to McDonalds to get Diet Coke and a breakfast burrito (I wonder why I have kidney stones)

5-I absolutly LOVE zoos. I would go to the zoo in Omaha everyday if I could.

6-If there is something that I WANT I don't quit until I get it...I don't do it on purpose, it is almost as if I CANT live unless I get it. ie, buying my current home, getting prego, marrying Paul. It doesn't happen often but if I feel strongly about something I don't let it go.

Since November?? Come on Girls...

Since I have nothing better to do (just kidding..I'm still trying to figure out this Mom thing) and I noticed we haven't posted since November, I thought I'd try to get this party started.

So, here is my tagged list and some cute pics of...who else?...US!

Lunch Date

I thought I would post these in a tribute to one-year-old Tate
Funnyness: Amelia doesn't know she's prego in this picture.

How do I look? ... Chubby? It's the champaign talking.

Tate at around 2 months

Dinner Date in SLC

Six facts about me:

1. I have always wanted to shave my head, but have never had the courage to do it.
2. Chocolate truffles are my "crack". I have to stop myself or I seriously could eat a whole bag.
3. I LOVE walking down the cleanser isle at any store. I love the smells.
4. I liked being pregnant. I miss it. I liked going to the pool in my bikini and I loved the positive attention. I even liked random people stopping me and asking me about the baby.
5. Japanese potstickers (gyoza) is my favorite food.
6. My favorite thing to do while watching tv is to pick at Paul's beard stubble , zits, dry skin, etc. It makes him crazy, but he lets me do it.
