haircut

Can I just say how wonderful it is to have a hairdresser in the family!

I was taking notes on how she was cutting his hair and I must say, I have done it all wrong for the last 2 years!!

My poor son!

Happy Birthday to my hubby, Charles Owen Baggett Jr.

I have spent the last 4 years on this day with you!

You are so special and I appreciate every thing you do.

You are strong, happy, teachable, humble, forgiving and such a wonderful husband and father!

I love you Char and hope this day is special!

chili cook-off

Since chili cook-offs are right around the corner for your ward trunk-or-treat or work Halloween party,

I thought I would share this great recipe!

I have incorporated a few chili recipes I found online and now I would like to introduce my chili recipe!

Chili ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef

1/2 onion, chopped

1 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

2 small cans tomato sauce

1 (8 oz.) jar mild PACE picante salsa

1 chili seasoning mix packet

2 (15 oz.) cans dark red kidney beans, drained

1 (15 oz.) can light red kidney beans, drained

2 (15 oz.) cans chili beans, left in sauce

Directions: 

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired. 

Add the ground black pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, salsa, chili seasoning mix and beans.  Mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour.   Serves 8 people.

ENJOY! 

cousins

 I love when my sister Leanna and her daughter Azzie come over to play!

The kids played and played while Leanna and I made a delicious homemade chili, I will have to share the recipe in another post!  It is always a treat to talk with Leanna, she is so level-headed and so inspiring.  She is such a GREAT little big sister and I love her.

I love how Georgia has SO many trees and they are all changing colors right now.

I also love having the large pond in the back, it adds to the serenity.

Happy Thursday from beautiful Georgia!

I have been searching all over Martha Stewart for a cute costume to make for little Charlie.

I still have no clue what to do.

Maybe I will whip up something last minute, like last year and the year before!

this morning

Ten minutes ago little Charlie and I had a sticker war!

I lost, if you couldn't tell!

Charlie's house

 Do you see this little boy?  

His name is Charlie and he is 2 years old.  

He(we) has completely taken over my in-laws home, and here is proof!

 

After taking these pictures tonight, I realized this is not just my in-law's house anymore, it's little Charlie's house!  Since living here in Georgia, he likes to play with his cars on their hard wood floors, have art lessons in their kitchen, have his toy basket set up in their family room and loves to leave toys in random places!  Such is the life of my 2 year old boy.
