Corndog

Yesterday, the boys' dog {Corndog} chased her last car.
*****************
Jason left for work around 6 am yesterday morning, and Corndog {doing what she does every morning} chased his truck down our little road. Only this time she got a little too close the tires, and Jason accidentally ran over her.
He came back to the house to tell me and ask what I thought we should do. He was worried about waking up the boys and not knowing what to tell them. He decided to drive down the road to his grandmother's house {she lives about two miles away} to bury her.
******************
We stayed inside most of the day yesterday and the boys haven't noticed that she is gone yet. Jason was going to tell them last night...but we aren't quite sure how to break the news to a 5 year old and a 3 year old.
*******************
She was a good country yard dog
kept to herself
played with her neighbor dog friends
slept during the day
and rarely barked unless a strange dog came into the yard
*********************
The boys really loved Corndog...and she will be greatly missed!

Just a Little Trim

Eli got his first haircut on Friday!

This is the earliest {he is only 10 1/2 months old} that any of my boys have had their first haircut. Henry was at least 18 months old when I finally got his curly-mess-of-hair cut, and I think Grant was at least a year old before his first trip to Mrs. Niece's. The same lady has done all three of the boys' first haircuts {and every haircut after that too}, and she does a great job!

Eli was very well behaved for his first haircut. He sat quietly in daddy's lap, and only fussed for a minute {but it was nothing the paci couldn't solve!}.
***************************
He started out a little concerned.
Then he got happy for a little while.
Eli was very contemplative...
...a little bored... ...and by the end he wanted his paci {and a sucker} for doing such a great job!

What do you do when the Splash Pad is being worked on? Swing on the swings...
Sit in your stroller...
Rescue injured birds...
And wait for the water to come on!

MckLinky Blog Hop: SUPER Easy Dinner Recipe

I made this recipe for the first time last week. I have made Chicken and Rice other ways, but this recipe was SUPER easy to make. I liked that I could just dump everything into my casserole dish, turn on the oven, and let it go {with a little stirring here and there}! My boys really liked it, and next time I think I may add in a few mixed veggies to really make this a one pot {or casserole} wonder! INGREDIENTS
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
2 cups milk
2 cups uncooked white rice
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon seasoned salt

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl combine the milk, rice, soup and seasoned salt if desired. Mix well. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Add the chicken pieces.
Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 90 minutes or until rice is done, stirring every 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and bake for another 15 minutes to allow the rice to brown.
