Spring Break Part 2...

What a week!! This week was filled with lots of time with family and friends.
We loved every minute of it.





Wednesday at FunZone with the Miller, Robinson, Tucker, Taylor, Safriet, Berube, and Carter families. What a great mid-week playdate!




Thursday morning at the zoo with Mimi and G.



Thursday afternoon we met the Robinson's at the Irmo Elem. playground for some fun.




Saturday afternoon we went to Granddad and Beth's house for a cookout. Brady had a great time hiding and finding Easter eggs.



Sunday's Easter service was great.



Sunday afternoon we spent time playing at Saluda Shoals...just the three of us.

Spring Break...

This week is spring break so I'm home with Brady all week. It's only Wednesday and we're already having a blast. Brady had two birthday parties Saturday. It was a busy and fun weekend. Monday we only took a quick trip to the gym in the morning and a trip to get Brady's hair cut in the afternoon. Other than that we played at home all day. Yesterday we went to EdVenture with Mimi and G. We all had so much fun.
Brady was asleep in the car before we got back home. :)

Here is Brady on the slide at Brycen's party.

Here's Brady later in the day on the rock wall at Solana's party.

Tuesdays at the Table...


I had fun posting a recipe last week on my blog. So, I've decided to try it again. I LOVE this salad that my friend Caroline makes. It's very yummy. I've only made it once, because it's better when Caroline makes it. I hope you ENJOY! Be sure to visit my friend Andrea's blog to see more recipes. Andrea sure has come a long way from the days in college we when we cooked a whole meal in one pot! Check out her blog...she has a lot of great (and inexpensive) ideas. :)
Cabbage Salad

Salad:
1 bag of coleslaw (finely shredded, no carrots)
4 green onions
2 pkg. oriental flavored ramen noodles (crushed)
8 Tbsp. pecans (chopped)
8 Tbsp. sesame seeds
3 Tbsp. Margarine

Dressing:
1 cup oil
1 1/2 pkg. ramen noodle flavoring
6 Tbsp. rice vinegar
4 Tbsp. sugar
pepper to taste

Mix the dressing and chill until ready to serve. Saute the pecans and sesame seeds in the margarine. Set aside until ready to serve. Toss the cabbage, onions, and crushed ramen noodles together. Set aside until ready to serve. Mix all three steps together right before serving to avoid sogginess. Enjoy!
