Welcome Ossie!

Yep we have a new baby!!

Ossie Ray Snell was born on February 10, 2012 @ 11:56 a.m. Weighing in at 8lbs and 12oz, and 22 inches long. It was a fast but hard labor, only 3 hours.

We are completely in love with this little man. He is a good eater and has already started to gain weight quickly. He loves to be cuddled, and I hate to put him down or give him to Daddy.

He also is getting better each night at sleeping longer.

This new journey is so much fun. I can't wait to see what this little man brings to our lives!

Just in case you check in to see if we have a baby, the answer is NO. This little guy is stubborn and does not want to come out. I will be going into see my doc tomorrow and we will be discussing inducing me sometime this week. I am almost to 40 weeks and continue to get bigger everyday, it is time to be done and hold this babe in my arms.

Arna is home sick with the gooey boogers and I have to suck her out often. I also have a bit of a cold, just a cough and headache, but it is enough to drive me insane. Every time I cough I pee.

I hope my next post will include pics of the boy or at least an idea when we will see him.

Good eating today

So since it is a slightly snowy day outside my door I am making soup today, please join me this is a yummy one and it is a double duty recipe.

Chicken Tortilla Soup/Burrito Filling

What you'll need

Crock-pot
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup of your fav salsa
1 cup frozen corn
1 small can enchilada sauce. we like elPato, it is called a hot sauce in a yellow can(not too hot)
1 can chicken broth
2-3 chicken breast
flour tortillas for burritos

place chicken in crock first and cover with the rest of the ingredients. If you want soup add the stock, if you want burritos don't. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and shred, return to crock and stir it all up. Serve with sour cream and cheese.

Enjoy! this is by far the best and easiest soup/burrito to make.
