So good its crazy!

I know its been a month since I last blogged but I promise that this recipe will totally make up for it. It.is.delicious!

I needed something to bring to a potluck and was having a hard time coming up with an idea but then I remembered having this dip at my sisters bridal shower a week ago and decided to try to recreate it. So this is my version of loaded potato dip.

Loaded Potato Dip

1- 8oz tub of chive and onion cream cheese (plain is ok) – room temp

1- Stick of butter or margarine – room temp

1- 8oz bag of shredded cheddar cheese

1- 3oz jar of real bacon

Tonys

Mix the cream cheese and butter till combined. Add the cheddar and bacon and mix. Season to taste with Tonys. Great on a cracker or on top of a baked potato.

Trip to the New Orleans Aquarium

On Wednesday we went to the Aquarium with some of Shawns family, here are some pictures.

Connor's 4th birthday Party

So my big boy turned 4. Where has the time gone? We had a small Lego party and he LOVED it. He had so much fun playing with her friends and loved all his presents and the party was a huge success.

What an excited 4yo looks like.

Of course the cake.

This is the Lego Zoo that we got Connor for his birthday. It was the one thing he asked for (over and over, no less) and he loves it. Its super cute and I got a good deal on it since I had a $10 Lego.com gift card (thanks to Pampers gifts to grow) and a $5 off online coupon code.

Tomorrow my baby turns 4

But for now hes still a sleeping 3 year old.

Sneak Peak

Connor turns 4 on friday and we had his party sunday. A full birthday post will be up after the big day but for now i leave you with a picture of his awesome cake that i made.

Great deal for cereal lovers

ok so i am big on saving money and love a good deal (look at the list of blogs i read)

anyway, right now at albertsons they have a deal where you buy 4 boxes of cereal for $14, and then you get 3 free (same transaction). it'll ring up at $3.50 a box and then 10.50 will get taken off for the 3 free. THEN it'll print out 3 coupons, each for a free gallon of milk (up to $3). the albertsons brand is on sale for $2.99. the milk has to be done in a separate transaction but it can be immediately after. you do pay tax on the milk and you can't do a debit for only .24 so be sure to have change.

so for $14 plus tax i got 7 boxes of cereal and 3 gallons of milk. we're not actually big cereal eaters but we always need milk so the way i look at it, i got 3 gallons of milk for $9 and 7 boxes of cereal @ .72 a piece. really you can't beat a deal like that.

the cereals you can choose from are
corn flakes 18oz
frosted flakes 23 oz
rice krispies 18 oz
corn pops 17.2 oz
froot loops 17 oz
apple jacks 17 oz

Happy Birthday to me!!!

yesterday was my 26th birthday. everybody kept acting like i was so old, which was so funny b/c i dont feel old at all. not that i think 26 is old either. whatever, lol.
the day was great. i took Connor to get his hair cut and throughout the course of the day was asked 4787413282 times when i was gonna get Collin's hair cut. NEVER! ahahahaha. the funny thing is, i do realize that its a shaggy mess and i have thought about getting it trimmed but the more people tell me i need to cut it, the less likely i am to do it. i've always been very rebellious when it comes to hair. i'm weird like that.
anyway. my sisters engagement party was also yesterday and it was great. it was just suppose to be a chance for the two familys to get together and meet but i had no idea there would be so many people there. it was so much fun. not only is she marrying a great guy but he has a wonderful family.
as far as pictures if i every find the cord for my camera i'll post some
