A Lunch Fit for a Toddler

I am always wanting to try new things for lunch and snacks for the boy's. I know I get tired of the same ol' food, so I know they do too. So today for lunch I made chicken and shells. Jaxon LOVED them, and I thought they were pretty good too. And for Jace, I just ground it all up so I didn't have to make two different lunches. Anyone out there with kids I hope your kids will like this as much as mine did.

jumbo pasta shells
ground chicken or tuna
cheese

I just boiled the noodles, and mixed my chicken with mayo and stuffed the shells, sprinkled cheese on top and baked them just enough to melt the cheese.

Family Matters


I have one of the best families in the whole world. I don't know what I would do without them. Growing up I didn't have the best relationship with them, but through the years I have gotten really close with them. 10 years ago I would have never though I would live 2 min. away from my parents, and talk to them every day. I LOVE being so close to them. And I think they like it too. I just wish that my sister and her little family could live closer to us. Living in Bend is to far away. Sure it is only 3 hours. But when we each have kids 3 hours is a long time. When we do get together we make up for the time away. Just this last Sunday we went over there for the day and had a blast swimming. I just hope that our boy's can grow up and be amazing little pals. I pray every night that Tyler's job will bring him closer to us so we can see them more. But only in Gods time will that happen. Someone I really wish I could see more is Brett. He is living in Seattle right now. We never get to see him. I pray that one day God will put him closer to us too. He needs to see his nephew's more than he does. When our whole family gets together we have so much fun laughing, playing games and just telling stories about "good ol' times." Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have such an amazing family.
