My tournament results

If any one wonders I got 5th place at my tournament.
I did not play much in the 2nd or 3rd game due to injury but by the time of our 4th and final game I felt fine!

My season officaly begins!

Tomorrow I have my first soccer tournament. It is a 6 on 6 tournament in Ceder Rapids.
It should be a great tournament!

RECIPE #1

Over the year I am going to try new recipes and post them on my blog.

Here is the first of many.


                                                           Scale of 1-10       1 = Bad    10 = Amazing
Chicken Tacos                   Serves  4-6                      Rating: 7.5



INGREDIENTS:


4-5 Thawed Chicken Breasts

1 Pack of Taco Seasoning

these are the tacos!

10-16  Ounces of Salsa




Put the chicken in the crock pot.

Put the taco seasoning in the crock pot on top of the chicken.

Pour the salsa on the chicken and seasoning.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours.

Than cook for 2-3 hours on low.

At this point the chicken should start to separate.

Take a fork and separate it completely.

Than eat with a tortilla. (I like cheese and lettuce on mine also)

The School Year Starts!

      This is the time of year when all those poor public schooled children have to go to school,
while we stay at home and do our school work in half the time!
    This year I am just doing math, writing and Bible studies the rest of the time I will be doing model planes, playing with LEGOs and helping around the house. It should be a fun year!

I am back!

Alison, Andy, Emily and I just went to Michigan to visit our relatives, it was a fun filled week of tubing, jet skiing, eating and relaxing.
Pictures coming soon
