I added a new recipe

I made it today. Even Renee ate some!
They are so easy to make, and I think this may be a regular on our menu.
Just thought I'd share.

That's all!

Thanks, and God Bless!

The Grocery Game

So I tried it today. We needed certain items; staples, mostly. I was watching a show on Food Network that showed the Grocery Game, and the lady Teri who started it. I tried it before, but I didn't give it my full commitment, so it didn't work as well as it should. Today I saved $47.00, and for a start, I don't think it's that bad. You have to clip coupons every week, so if you're not a coupon fan like me, it may not work for you. There is also a fee to get the lists for your area, but I think for the savings, it works out in the end. I'm going to try to update you guys every week.

Well this is the first post of 2009, and I think this year is going to be pretty good. I'm hoping I can either start school, start work, or both. I need a job. This year, we are also going to work very hard on finding a church home. Lawrence's work schedule is going to allow us to go to church every Sunday, so we have no excuse now. The kids have resolved to keep doing good in school, and Bri, who has been dealing with lots of peer pressure and identity problems as of late, said she wants to focus on responsibility and respect. I feel good about that.

Nate had his first basketball game on Saturday. It was fun to watch, I thought it was going to be like watching paint dry while someone scratches their nails on a chalkboard, but it was actually okay.

This is both teams, the cheerleaders, coaches, and referees in a prayer circle before the start of the game. One of the cheerleaders led the prayer.

The kid wearing the white is Nate. He scored the first basket of the game, had 6pts total. He did very well, until they put a taller kid on him.

This is the end of the game. They tried hard, but they lost by two. All the kids gave great effort, so it was a good game, no matter who won. All of the parents were pleased.

We did record it, I'll post the link when I upload it.

I think that's about it for now. Talk to you all later!

Thanks, and God Bless!
