We're....

BACK!!! Did you miss us?? *cricket, cricket* hehehe :)

We had an awesome time in Nags Head, well specifically Corolla, NC. Getting there was interesting. About 12 hours before we were set to leave, our truck starting making an odd noise and an hour later, we realized it was the bolts on one wheel were not put on tight enough(AHEM thanks Sam's Club), so luckily it was a simple fix. The next morning we set off with hopes of a certain blonde cutie napping, watching TV, reading books, singing songs.

Whose kid was I thinking of?

Should I note past experiences? How about last summer? Maybe the summer before??

It started before we left the Dunkin Donuts, about a mile from our house. Sigh. We heard, "mommy, will we everrrr be dere?" "daddy, dis place is too far", and the classic "are we dere yettt? It feels wike forever!" Oh and by the time we hit Virginia, she started singing "Country girl shake it for me" and "dirt road anthem"...Guess I've outed her momma as a country music lover :)

Once we finally got there, we took a walk on the freezing beach! It was only about 65-and the forecast wasn't looking too promising. Luckily the weather channel always has it wrong, and we got in 5 glorious beach days, high 70's to low 80's. It was perfect.

Headed to the beach!

We were only about 1/4 mile from the 4x4 beach so we took a ride and saw these guys-only about 6 feet from the car. If you know Cayleigh, you know about her absolute look for horses. She was in heaven.

This was her reaction, lol!

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
