Hey Dayme I got a new recipe for you! Way easy and fast......

2 cans of chicken
2 cups of hot sauce (any kind)
2 cups of corn or 2 cans of drained corn

Mix chicken, corn, hot sauce, and taco seasoning.
Tear corn tortillas in half and layer the bottom of pan. Layer with half of the chicken mixture and cheese, then tortillas, chicken, and top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 min at 350! So good and a little spicy!

Cooper's 4th of July

Well we didn't get to have much of a 4th of July due to the flood that came through Rotan! They had to cancle the fireworks show and it poured from about 8 p.m. until the next morning! Cooper was sad but we did get some sparklers so we lit those two nights ago and he had a ball. He absolutely loves fireworks! I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!! We also got to see some really good fireworks at TEXAS! the other night. TEXAS! is a musical that is put on in the Palo Duro Canyon. We had to lie to Dane and tell him that it was a laser show just so he would go because he HATES musicals. Haha he did end up enjoying himself though. Cooper said through the entire show that lasted 3 hours!! He did so good! So here are some pics from Cooper's 4th of July and TEXAS!

And here is Texas!.....there were about 21 of us that went to see it! And it was sooo hot so we didn't get to many pictures...

Painting....

I have been painting my hallway a turquoise color that Taylor picked out. At first I was a little scared when I got it on the walls but now it is really growing on me and I think it looks really good! I am glad I went with Taylor's choice!! Now if I could just get the rest of the house painted! And they will be neutral colors....I had to promise Dane :(.....

Summer Nights

I absolutely love summertime and sitting outside during the evenings! Cooper also loves it and would be outside all day even though it has been 105 degrees all week! That doesn't seem to bother him but I can't stand the heat so we wait until it cools off! I got some pretty cute pictures of him playing in the yard and his poor diaper was so full it was about to fall off of him! I am a horrible mom but it was soooo funny so I had to snap some pics!

And here he is showing me his teeth! Kind of a scary face!

I also got some pictures of the cotton...it is looking good!!!

And these are squares....You can't really tell in the pictures but they are there and that is a good sign! Granny said a square by the 4th of July was a good sign of good cotton! Haha....

Good News and Bad News....

Well the good news is it rained without hailing on our little cotton crop! It pretty much rained all day yesterday with some pretty good storms but Tarran, Shandy and I were able to catch some rays at the pool. We really only got to lay out about 1 hour before a storm blew in but I still managed to get a little red, yay! And, believe it or not, I started Twilight! I am not a reader at all, I mean I kind of always wanted to be more of a reader but could never find the time with little Coop around but everyone insisted that I try this book and yes, I am already hooked and can't wait to start reading again! Cooper had a great weekend......he got to see DeeDee, Grandmother, and Dayme which was a ton of fun for him because he got to show off his new tricks! Yesterday he got to haul cows and ride in the tractor with Daddy and even got to ride around with Papa! I think Coop would have fun wherever he was! Even at TayTay's where he dropped her remotes in water, again! Fun for him but not so much for TayTay (we are really sorry about that!).
So now the bad news......Molly is gone :(.....Dane left her a few days ago out kind of in the country and I kept thinking she would come back but she still hasn't.....Cooper and I are sad but Dane is not heartbroken....he said we could get another one when we had a fence in our backyard.

Some more good and bad news.....Grandad underwent quadruple bypass surgery last wednesday but made it through and is still in CCCU but making progress even though it is very slow progress. He is one of the greatest I have ever known and he is so incredibly strong to fight through all of this! We have all prayed so hard for him over this last week and know that prayers have been working because he is still with us today. Only He knows what's in store for us so I just pray for everyone who has spent hours at the hospital because this is not the end and there is a long road of recovery ahead but I know Grandad can do it! I love you all and continue to pray and ask for everyone's prayers as they endure this hardship.

Blogging...

Oh my gosh I have been on this thing all morning! The only thing I got accomplished was 20 different backgrounds, finally settling on the one that's on there, and some cute sidebar stuff and a huge headache! I will actually try to write something interesting later!
