Mexican Chicken and Rice

2011-06-24T17:53:00.000-07:00

This is one of favorite recipes because it is yummy and a one pot meal!!

1 lb boneless chicken breast cut into small pieces

1 pkg of taco seasoning

1 cup of white rice

1 12 oz can of mexicorn -a lot of the time I use half a can of regular corn-with juice

1 can of diced tomatoes-use the juice

1 3/4 cup of water

Cut the chicken into small pieces and coat with the taco seasoning. Cook in a skillet until the meat turns white on the outside. Add rice and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add cor, tomatoes, and water, stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.

I serve chips and homemade salsa with this meal.

It's been a while

2011-04-25T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a while since I have posted so I will do one post with the info and one with pictures!
I am on the Relay for Life team called Fannin Fighters. We are rasing money and if you would like to donate please let me know. I am also donating my comission from Scentsy sales to the team, so if you would like to buy Scentsy lease let me know. Scentsy is a great Mother's Day gift!!
The girls have been doing great. Reese had a "rodeo" at school complete with calf ropin' hay haulin', and barrle racin'!! It was adorable. They also danced the Chicken Dance.
Reese also went to the zoo with her class. I went along as a chaperon and we had a great time. i am happy to report that Addison is doing great with her asthma since being out of the hospital.
We had a wonderful Easter and the girls had a great time hunting eggs. We had to change our Martin Family egg hunt bc Addie had strep throat, but we will have it next weekend.
Reese has started t-ball and loving it!! She is doing much better than last year. She can hit the ball into outfield!! I am so proud of her.
Reese is also preparing for her dance recital at the end of May.
I think that is all of the updates for now!!!

Hospital

2011-02-20T10:27:00.000-08:00

Addison got sick on Thursday, with what we thought was an asthma attack. She didn't sleep at all Thur. night. Friday I took her to the dr and her right lung was almost completly blocked, her dr wanted us to keep a close eye on her and if she got worse take her to Dallas to the hospital. After we got home Addie played and acted fine, but around 6 she became hysterical crying for her daddy and saying she was getting sicker. I called Cameron tp come home from work and he finally got her calmed down. We realized she was working very hard to breath, so we decided to take her to Medical Cirty Children's Hospital in Dallas. We arrived about 9 and they took one look at her and put us in triage. They got her stats and put us in a room. Her oxygen level was around 89-90. She was put on oxygen. Within an hour we had x-rays and blood work. The staff was amazing. She received a cute dog when she got to the er, she got an adorable pony Ty beanie baby in x-rays and another cute dog when we were in our room. The staff checked on us asking if we needed drinks or anything. They had cartoons on tv and pictures on the ceiling. The dr came in and told us she definitely had pneumonia and started an antibiotic iv. Around midnight we got our room.

She didn't really sleep at all Friday night and was pretty sick. Sat. her oxygen levels stayed around 95 with the oxygen. She did breathing treatments every 3 hours. Saturday night, even with the oxygen her levels kept dropping below 92. Sunday she was able to get off the iv and the oxygen! She felt much better. Sunday night her levels stayed about 94 and we got to go home on Monday!!
It has been a week ans she is doing great, her appetite is finally getting back to normal.

Valentine's Day

Today my wonderful husband, went to the store and bought me roses. He then bought them to me at work> It was so sweet. I know it may not be as romantic as having them delivered, but for two people trying to have ALL bills, other than our house, paid off by December, this was pretty awesome. He also bought the girls a Barbie and a cute card.

We have been together for 13 years!!! We have been married for 8 1/2.

I love my husband :)

Four years ago on February 1, 2007 Addison Ryleigh was born after 45 minutes of labor and no pain meds! She was so different from Reese. Reese was long, skinny, and bald. Addie was short, chubby, and had a head full of black hair!! She was 7 pounds even and 18 3/4 inches long. I see you!

Just being cute

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. One of the reasons is that I get to see all of my family, but for those I don't see I like to send them a Christmas card with our family pictures in it. I LOVE photo cards. I throw away regular Christmas cards as soon as Christmas is over, but the photo cards I keep on the fridge for a while, then they go in a photo book. This year Shutterfly is giving away 50 free cards just for blogging about it!!

Fitness

2010-01-17T16:02:00.000-08:00

It has been one year since I have started working out!!! I did have to stop for about a month when I had foot surgery, but other than that, I have been working my butt off, literally!

I have lost 15 pounds in the last year and gained a lot of strength. I have run three 5k's this year and did a one mile run with my daughter Reese in December.

I have also taught a Boot Camp class at the YMCA for a few freinds, and I did a great job. i found out that i really love teaching and oddley enough, I love to workout.

I feel great in my skin now. I have a lot more cofidence in my self. I have worked very hard to get where I am and plan to keep this up!!

Craft Show

2009-11-15T13:24:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday I did a craft show with two friends at the Day in November craft show at the local mall. Unfortunately it did not go very well. I did not make as much money as I had hoped and neither did my friends. We have signed up for two more shows in December and hope to do better with those.

If all of that was not bad enough, Addison is having an asthma attack. Hers usually last for several days and also have severe coughing. I hope she comes out of this one fast!
