We took our first real family trip!

We went down to Goblin Valley and then

headed over to Las Vegas

Hope you enjoy some of the many pictures that we took:)

New Beginings

Well I haven't been on here for some time.

A lot has happend

We moved into a new home that fits us just perfect!

My handsome husband is dealing with Bell's Palsy

and trying to make due

The boys are all in school and I haven the day to myself

I have been trying to pick up new activities to keep me busy

I have a new calling in church

I teach the 5 and 6 year olds in primary and love it! 

They have become my new best friends!

Life has never been better:)

I will be better at this too:) 

The last four weeks...

I was going to write a comment to explain
but I think just posting will be easier...

Around the end of March a big lump
showed up in my c-section scar and
I was having a lot of pain after working out.
Long story short,
I had surgery to remove it the first week in May.
They biopsied it and it ended up being an Endometrioma that had
gotten so big that it had grown through my scar tissue and attached
to my abdomen muscles.
My body rejected the desolvable stitches they used and pretty much just
spit them out, so I opened back up.
I have a three inch pocket along my scar that wont heal.
So I have this little sponge vacuum hooked up to it and sucking
it all together...
It has been a long month but
I am finally on the mend:)

Summer In Bed

Well I can't seem to get my down loader to work to get my pictures again... :/
Things have a been a little crazy here at the Scott Household.
I Just have to say that I have a wonderful husband who
has been so loving and patient with me threw this whole recovery process.
The pore boys are having a hard time with Mom being grounded upstairs
but I am finally starting to be able to get up and get around,
somewhat:)
Hopefully I can get my pictures up soon.
We got bikes for all three boys and
it is the funnest thing to watch them all ride together!
It brings back fun memories riding
my bike around with all the neighbor kids:)

From the South?

I am starting to think Talin may be from the Old South;)
He is now calling me "Mama"
"Please Mama", "Mama!" "Mama!"
Hahaha:)
It makes me laugh!:)

Mmmm:)

My boys are the plainest eaters. It makes it so hard for me to cook.
I found this awesome recipe for Parmesan Chicken!
You cut them up so they are bite size
I call them fancy nuggets and the boys love them!:)
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do:)

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup or 1/4 pound), melted
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or 2/3 cup if you are using a Microplane zester)
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• A large pinch of Italian seasoning (herb mix)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 lbs of skinless, boneless, chicken meat, cut into pieces no larger than 2x2 inches

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.

2. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic with the melted butter. In another bowl mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into garlic butter, then into crumb mixture to coat.

3. Place coated chicken pieces on to a 9x13 baking dish. Try to leave a little room between each piece. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and bake uncovered 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note that the chicken will get much more browned on the bottom side than on the top.

Soccer Time

We signed Ben up for Soccer this Spring.
I don't know who is more excited, us or him;)
We have been waiting for a call
from his coach and just received it.
There is no practice...?
His first game is in a week...
Guess we need to get a few family practice games
in before then;)

Go Ben!
