my little handyman

We bought Isaac a set of soft tools for his birthday. He LOVES them. While he loves all of them I think his favorite is the drill. Or really I should say, the drill is his favorite when we make silly drill sounds. Isaac is working on hammering the barn in this picture.

Fly Boy!

Isaac is all over the place lately.

husbands...

you've got to love it when your husband comes home at 7:30 at night and nonchalantly says , "oh, today is my mom's birthday." Sorry Pam. I hope you had a great birthday!

Dada and Isaac

Snip, Snip

Isaac had his first haircut on Saturday. I was nervous with it being Halloween. Luckily it was a treat and not a trick. Isaac did fantastic. Ms. Martha did a great job. It was bittersweet for me. He's getting to be such a big boy. All the "firsts" are coming way too fast.

Happy Halloween!

mmm King Ranch Chicken

A couple of you asked for the King Ranch Chicken recipe from Isaac's birthday party so here it is. I wish now I had taken a picture but oh well, you'll just have to imagine its tastiness. This was my grandmama's recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 package corn tortillas
• 1 3lb fryer boiled and boned OR 4 bone-in breasts baked (we used breasts for the party)
• 3-4 Tbs chili powder
• 1 Tbs cumin
• 1 onion
• bell pepper
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/2 lb sharp Cracker Barrel cheese + more for topping (we also add pepper jack cheese)
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 can hot rotel tomatoes OR for kid-friendly diced stewed tomatoes

Directions:

Saute onion garlic and pepper until soft. Add chili powder, cumin, soups and tomatoes. Stir until well blended.

Make layers in a casserole dish

• tortillas
• chicken
• soup mixture
• grated cheese

Cover with foil and bake about 30 minutes at 350F until bubbly

Enjoy!

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

We took Isaac to the pumpkin patch at church Saturday afternoon. He was a little confused but we ended up with a few good pictures.

Ike ♥s letters!

Auntie Sheryl gave Isaac jumbo magnetic letters for his birthday. He LOVES them! His favorite letter is O. He always finds the two Os first and crawls around with them. Thank you Sheryl!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

I can't believe Isaac is a year old today. Time flies when you're having fun!!!

I love you to the moon and back!
