Kyler and his "Mario" Gloves

So its trying to snow here this week so the kids are stuck inside and wearing actual fall clothes. So kyler picked out his "mario" shirt to wear today and then was looking for his mario gloves. I figured he was looking for his cars gardening gloves becuase they are red but all the sudden he comes out in Kurtis' goalie gloves. So i had to get a few pics. go "Mario Goalie"

and here is brooklyn in her cute fall clothes i'm so excited to get her in these is been so hot here she has only worn pants maybe 3 times since the first few weeks she was born and only worn a jacket the day she came home.

Crazy Good Home Made Chicken Nuggets

Ok So i got these off of one of the blogs i follow usually her stuff is gourmet but this is wonderfull. Kyler loves chicken nuggets and now i can make them at home. They are Mc Donalds look copycat recipe and sooo yummy. They are probably way better for you than Mcd's because you know whats going into them. So make them they are really really easy and so good.

Note: Don't bake them it doesn't work. Also you could use bread crumbs if you like instead of flour.

Tip: They freeze well so you can make extra and freeze them. And i only use about half the salt in mine and they taste fine so do what ya like.

Makes about 30 nuggets using 1 1/2TBS Cookie scoop.

Chicken Nuggets:
4 half chix breats cut into cubes
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 tsp salt Kosher
1/2 tsp celery salt (i didn't have it so i didn't use it i used a little garlic salt though)

1/2 tsp coarse black pepper

Egg Wash:
2 eggs


Seasoned Flour:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper

1. Cut chix breats in 1 in. cubes, place in food processor with other chix ingredients and process till it makes a coarse paste.


2. Mix four mixture and set aside


3. beat eggs in a bowl and set aside


4. use your cookies scoop or your hands to scoop out mean and put in flour bowl roll around till meat is entirly covered. Than shape meat in to balls with hands.
   


5. when all are shaped press balls down with fingers till about 1/2 in. thick.


6. Dip in egg wash then back into flour then put on a plate dusted with flour so they won't stick.


7. heat oil (i use vegetable) in shallow pan i use my wok and bring to about 365-375 deg F


8. Place nuggets in hot oil and cook on one side for 2-3 min then flip and reapeat. (remember that the chicken continues to cook even after you have removed it from the oil.)

Goings on

Well this is from about a month ago but i love this pic of my loves.

As of Saturday morning Brooklyn can now roll over. I was listening to conference while kyler was watching snow white and i was making cake balls and there she went. She's been really close for a few weeks now. now we just have to watch out for her crawling. she is already scooting her self across the floor.

And here is Brooklyn in her halloween costum. I was just going to put her in the cougar costume we put kyler in his 1st hallween but when i saw this it was perfect. I always call her snow white because she has such light skin and dark hair with her pretty blue eyes. so its perfect now if i can just get kurtis to dress up as grumpy. Kyler is going to be Bob the Builder and i'm either going to be dopey or Wendy from bob the builder.

And this is a pick of all 5 babies born on my side this summer. I was the 1st then the twins Kolton and Kooper, then Gavin and Baby Kjar 5 babies in 4 months what a summer. and yes

Brooklyn is the only girl. It seems to go that way that if i have a boy everyone else has a girl if i have a girl everyone else has a boy. Luckily on kurtis's side there are girls so were good.

Other than this we've havne't been doing a lot. Kurtis is working and going to school. I've been making dressess. I had an request all the way from florida which i made a few weeks ago. It's not like a job but it does bring in a little extra money and makes me feel like i'm helping out. I quit working a famous Footwear again. With kurtis going to school 3 night a week and needing to do home work the other nights i didn't think it was a good idea for me to keep working. Brooklyn is growing like crazy. She loves to scream and thinks its funny. She also fake coughs like kyler does. I think its pretty funny. Kyler poor kid has been having trouble going poo. He's now on meralax and things seem to be going a lot better. We are having a little trouble with him getting to into something and waiting to long to get to the bathroom which is really really frustrating for me. But since potty training went so well i guess i'm getting it now. Ninja feels a little left out but he's getting spoiled he sleeps in our room pretty much every night and when the kids are alseep he gets me all to himself.
