Happy St. Patrick's Day



I bought these glasses to wear to school and tried them on Petty. He poses for the camera! I took a full body shot of him so you can see how big he is- 80 pounds! He weighed 8pounds when we got him this time last year! Most Aussie's weigh 50 pounds as adults...ours is just a little bigger!

Yummy Tortilla Soup

This recipe is from one of our favorite resteraunts...I've made it twice in past 2 weeks! Love it!

Gristmill Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken Breasts
3 cans of chicken broth
1tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 tsp.pepper
1 can Rotel
Cilantro
Onion

I usually use 3 chicken breasts, two handfuls of fresh cilantro, and 1/2 to 3/4 of an onion (whatever you like). Sometimes I buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery and use it instead of cooking chicken.
I also add a can of hominy (drained) to it.
Put in the crock pot and cook for about 3 hours.


I put tortilla chips in the bottom of the bowl and put cheese and avocado slices on top!

Over the weekend....



Over the weekend, my personal assistants and I painted! We worked all Friday night while Derek worked a high school playoff game and all day Saturday while he prepped for the Texas State game. They stand right next to me while I work and when I get the camera out, they sit and pose. It's hilarious! Saturday morning, I made a loaf of Lemon Poppy Seed bread for breakfast! Kennon called and I was talking to him in the bedroom and when I came back, Petty had helped himself to the bread- more than half the loaf. He can get anything off the counters.

Big Dog


Look how long his legs are!







Mom's request- new pics of the pups! So here they are! We knew Petty would be bigger than Isbell, but we had no clue that he would tower over her! He's huge- close to 60 lbs! I'm just glad he and Isbell get along so well, however, their favorite game is "wrestle mania" for the bone. We love them so much! Last night Derek said, "Isbell, I wish you could talk to me!" No telling what it will be like when we have kids!

Derek took me to the football expansion project Wednesday. It's amazing and I can't get over how fast they work! It will be ready on September 5th!
15 suites and a club level that seats 450 people

We interrupt this marriage for football season- just 1 month from today it starts...early, early Saturday mornings and jam packed weekends. Derek is working hard to get the stadium finished and it's looking really good. Can't wait to actually go inside and see everything!
I think if you go to this website you'll be able to see pictures of the expansion in progress.
