Lady in Red Isabelle

I love her :)

I love my niece and nephew

Brandon and I had such a great weekend :) Aunt Deb was nice and let us share her happy day with her, her wedding :) Aunt Deb looked stunning and her smile was brighter than the sun that day :) We love you Aunt Deb :)!!
We also got to spend quality time with grandpa :) He is so sweet, I watched a John Wayne movie with him while Brandon and Mom were out running errands.
The best part about our weekend was that we got to see little Isabelle and Julian :) They are so CUTE!!!!! Julian is such a sweet boy who is full of adventures. Isabelle is my little princess, and I mean she trully is a princess. While she was here she tried on some of my red heels, and while I did my make up she wanted some on her as well :) I took a few pictures of the babies while they were here!! We hope to see them soon because we love them so much!!!

New Camera.. any suggestions

Ok, so my hubby got me a cannon rebel last year... and I have to admit while it has been really nice to me I have not been as impresed by the pictures. I think maybe it has something to do with me :) LOL I was thinking of getting an extension lense and toys for the camera or just buying a new one.. I really like Nikon D5000 or any Nikon brand really. I really just want to get a toy or camera that captures the color and the moment in a split second. I love color and my camera is just plain :( I am so undecisive ahhh!! Does any one have any suggestion? It would be much appreciate before I make an expensive purchase :0

Green Chille Chicken Enchilas

Yummy :) :) I cooked some chicken last night but was so tired that I just put it in the fridge. This morning when my alarm clock went off at 6am I woke up so hungry and craved enchiladas for breakfast LOL So I took the quickest shower 10 minutes :) Usually takes me 20 minutes!! Got ready in 10 minutes. So I had a an hour and a half before I went to work. So I decided to take care of my craving and made some chicken echilada cassarole. I was very impressed by the results because I was in a rush. Here is my easy recipe :)

2 cans of condensed cream of chicken or cream of mushroom
2 cups of shredded chicken breast
1 tsp of garlic salt
1tsp ground black pepper
1 cup of chicken broth
2 cups of Monterrey jack cheese
2 cups of cheddar cheese
3 jalapenos sliced or chopped

1/3 cup of chopped roasted chilles
24 tortillas
1 tsp of olive oil


In a bowl add the shredded chicken, garlic salt, and black pepper mix and set aside

In a large sauce pan cook the jalapenos with the olive oil and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the cream of chicken, chicken broth and roasted chilles to the sauce pan. Simmer under low heat for 15 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally :)

Set sauce aside.

Cut tortillas into quarters.

In a baking dish. spread a little of the sauce at the bottom, layer some tortillas, layer some sauce, layer chicken, sprinkle a little of the cheddar cheese and then the Monterey. Repeat the layers. The last layer should just be the tortillas and add the remainder of the sauce and the cheese.

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes :)

you may garnish with cilantro and add toppings such as sour cream or chives.
If you want to make sure the dish is not as spicy remove the jalapeno seeds.
Serve with a side of rice and beans :)

I always look forward to Sunday's waking up early putting on my best Sunday clothes to listen to the gospel! After a hectic week being at church makes all my stress and worries go away :) I love to hear people's testimonies and feel the spirit, it is truly a great feeling that I am blessed to have. A friend at work asked me what it was like to be LDS. I told her it was like being re-born and actually live life. I try to be a good example at work and other people that I come across that are not LDS. So this Sunday as I was listening to sacrament I could not help but be distracted by a lady that was late and sat in front of me. It did not bother me at all that she was late, I am late a lot. What bothered me was that after she sat down she took out her nail file and filled her nails all through sacrament. I wanted to tap her in the shoulder and tell her she could do that at home and to respect the gospel. I realized that I was putting to much thought into her rude behavior and as much as I tried it really upset me. I asked my self how do I know she is not multi tasking... and paying attention..!!! but you can tell when some one has your undivided attention and listens not just hears what you are saying. There is a huge difference between hearing someone and actually listening. I gave much thought about it at night and realized that just as much as she was being rude, I too was being rude by letting her actions interfere with my learning. I was so focused on her actions that I lost my self in translation and did not listen to the remainder of sacrament. So maybe this Sunday I will make sure not to sit by her :)
