enjoyed having the heim’s with us in winter park this weekend. the kids had to get a closer look at our neighbor’s icicles, which are phenomenal. don’t you love his shutters??
the mustaches are courtesy of audrey and tyson who got them at the local toy shop.
those who know me know that i have the ability to cook, but it’s not my favorite. mostly because of the time, planning and effort it takes to get a decent meal on the table while the kids are distracting me. if i could cook in peace for an hour with a good glass of red, i’d be all for it….but at this stage in life, well…..it doesn’t happen.
there are a few recipes that i tend to lean on, especially in the winter months, and this is one of them that mom gave me years ago. i served it at the click class last weekend and it is the EASIEST thing to make. trust me, if i think it’s easy, than it’s easy!
in your crockpot:
4 chicken breasts (raw, and can be frozen)
two 15 oz cans of black beans, drained
two 15 oz can stewed tomatoes – mexican style
1 cup of your favorite salsa
one 4 oz can chopped green chilies
one 14 1/2 oz can of tomato sauce
cook on low all day. pull out the chicken and shred it with a fork. the chicken will literally be falling apart at this point. put tortilla chips in the bottom of a bow, spoon some soup on top. then top with grated cheese, sour cream and chives. et voila! i sometimes add whatever i have in my pantry….kidney beans, garbanzo beans, corn etc. you can add hot sauce if you want to make it more spicy. it’s as easy as opening up some cans and dumping them in your crockpot.
enjoy!

it was ONLY 20 something degrees last saturday, and i have to first say that i am SO proud of the girls (big and little) who braved the cold for sake of practicing and a few good photos! let’s just say we all came back with frozen toes, fingers, but thankfully no frozen cameras!
i also have to commend my click class ladies because shooting in bright sunlight, with a foot of “natural reflection” on the ground is also extrememly challenging. let’s just say they got baptized by snow on saturday and were thrown into once of the most challenging shooting conditions…..but they performed beautifully. you rocked it ladies!
and now, ava and zoe…happy valentine’s day!
and thank you to wade (who doesn’t like to pose for pictures) for being my taxi driver and “stage” manager. i love you!

so we had to postpone our click class from two weekends ago because…..well, we got 2 feet of snow! the ladies were so gracious and understanding, and luckily for all of us, EVERYONE (including my models) were available for class this last weekend. it was a valentine’s themed day, so i wanted to get it all in before v-day, and we had a fabulous time. it started snowing saturday morning, but by afternoon it was sunny and we ventured out in the 20 degree weather for our afternoon shoot and practice.
everyone was a trooper even though we came back with some numb toes…..you ladies rocked it! jay, margaret and sally….thank you for joining me!

this guy LOVES brushing his teeth. i had to take the step stool away because i would find him in the bathroom, water running…..brushing his teeth. again. of course the first thought is that he’s getting his molars, but i’ve blamed the last 9 months of runny noses and picky eating on “teething”, and i have yet to see any new ones come in!
our dentist would be proud.
