Chicken Ranch Tacos

Here's another favorite crock pot recipe that is easy and VERY good ~

Chicken Ranch Tacos

Ingredients:
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (depending on size)
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch mix
1 can chicken broth

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours.  Shred chicken and place back in crock pot to soak up liquid.  Serve on flour tortillas and garnish with your favorite toppings.

*We ALL love these - they are not 'spicy' for kids.  Great flavor!

Celebrating Brett

My youngest brother Brett is a pretty cool dude.  He has a style all of his own.  I feel like we have traveled back home a lot lately, but for good reason.

Reason #1: Brett got confirmed the last Sunday of October.  Congrats Brett - keep the faith.

Brett and Ellie - aren't THEY cute?!

Reason #2: Brett performed in his first high school play, The Wizard of Oz

Brett (and everyone else) did awesome!  Brett had many roles in the play.

Harper and 'the real Dorothy' - Harper thinks she is the real deal!  It's cute to hear her STILL talk about her!  Of course she had to wear her own Dorothy Halloween costume.

Harper and Brett, or should I say  Uncle Henry

Trick-or-Treating 2013

Now that Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away, I should probably catch up on my October blogs!  Let's start with trick-or-treating.......

Harper, Elliet and I went trick-or-treating with our neighbors and were out for 1 hour and 45 minutes!  That was a lot of walking for the kids....and adults!  By the end of the nights the kids were passing by houses that were still handing out candy....that goes to show you how tired they were!

Harper wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (one of her favorite movies)

Elliet was a bumble bee

Trick-or-Treat!
