Sleep Deprivation, Boating and New Recipes

It's been another crazy busy week in our home! After getting home Sunday night from the airport past midnight, we started a new week already sleep deprived. To add to that, we went out boating with some friends on Monday and Tuesday. We took the sea-doos out as well, which is always fun. Monday night we got home around 10:30 and Tuesday night we got home around 11:00...poor Isaac was so exhausted!! We'd get him right to bed when we got home, but both nights Taylor and I never got to bed before midnight. But, it's all worth it because we have some great friends here that we love to hang out with. (Side note: anyone who knows what kind of town American Falls is like will appreciate and understand this story...after boating on Tuesday we decided to grab some food, so we went to Pizza Hut in American Falls. We pulled a chair out to put a high chair there and lo and behold a HUGE spider was crawling under the table, and I am not just talking about a small spider, like--mini tarantula spider!!! IT WAS DISGUSTING!! I looked at one of the girls and we both said we weren't going to eat there...Taylor, being the "I lived in Brazil for two years and had bugs in my food all the time" was fine with staying, but the girls won and we left and went to the Pizza Hut in Chubbuck which was much better and the manager even comped our entire meal! So it turned out great!)

Wednesday was finally a day to catch up around the house, so I did some cleaning and the much needed grocery trip.

I made two new recipes this week that weren't half bad. The first was Sweet 'n Sour Sirloin Stir-Fry with Ranch Mashed Potatoes--Taylor loved those--and then the second was Honey Nut Chicken with Barbecued Succotash. Both Taylor and I liked them, it always feels good to make something from scratch and have it turn out looking good and tasting good. If you are interested in the recipe, I think Rachel Ray made both of them, so you can get the recipe from http://www.foodnetwork.com/.

After more cleaning and laundry last night, we are heading to Utah tonight. While Taylor and I still feel sleep deprived, I guess we should be grateful that we feel like there is never a dull moment in our lives....

how does it feel to be all domestic? I can't wait; you will have to keep sharing recipes and I will do the same, something new to try is always exciting, i wonder how many times I can make chicken enchiladas before Tyler gets tired of them!!
