quick lunch idea


Chic-fil-a is just a few miles from my house.  It can be a good but bad thing!  If I'm running errands and want something somewhat healthy but quick I pick soup and salad.  I can't get enough of their chicken tortilla soup.  It's the best with just the right amount of spice.  It's loaded with chicken, corn, and black beans.  If you haven't had it you should titally try it.  I like to get the soup meal with a salad and an un-sweet tea.  It's my favorite lunch!!

~ Monster Jam 2015 ~




The last time we went to Monster Jam was back in 2012 when we lived in Texas.



Last night we went to the Georgia Dome here in Atlanta.  The Georgia Dome is huge compared to the smaller arena we sat in when we went back in 2012.  I think that is great for our ears.  Last time it was soooo loud.  



We indulged in Monster Jam cotton candy and Hayden got a Monster Jam snow cone.  It was sugar overload for our very excited boy!


Layla had a fun night too.  She had fun taking tons of pictures and making collages of all the trucks.



I cheered on my favorite Monster truck named Monster Mutt.  He crashed twice, but put on an amazing show.


I just love to see his ears flop around when he jumps all the giant dirt piles.  He has a pretty cute tail too.  I'm all about anything dog-ish!


Just in case you don't know, Monster Jam is now a racing series.  You can watch it on Fox Sports channels and there is usually one event per week, similar the the motocross series.   The huge trucks started the night battling race style to see who was the fastest.  Then they finished up the night doing freestyle tricks to oooohhh and aaahhhh the crowd.  It is loud and rowdy and super fun for our loud and rowdy family!  We had a blast and it was awesome to live so close to the Georgia Dome.  We were 1.5 hours from a big city in Ohio, so being less than one hour is amazing!

taller and taller they grow



Gosh it seem like I just bought Layla a pair of pants and they fit.  They were long enough and now they seem short.  I think she is growing.  One step up to the ruler and we know it's true.



  We are still loving the life size ruler Gary and I made back in 2011.  It has been wonderful since we have moved from state to state since then.


Hayden Cole is growing too.  I'm so happy to see these healthy munchkins getting taller and smarter.  We are blessed with cute kiddos that love to eat and love to learn, for now at least!  It's fun to see them grow, but not too terribly fast! ;-)
