I love Spring Break, but the taste of summer that it puts in my mouth is almost too much to bare!!<br />
<br />
Spencer & I had a WONDERFUL day Tuesday with friends. We literally left the house at 10:00 & didn't get back until 6:00 that night. He was quite the trooper and I love spending that kind of time with him!<br />
<br />
We met our friends Hudson & his mom, Emerald at the Science Spectrum that morning. They have a butterfly exhibit going on there now too, so we ventured into that first.<br />
<br />
Spencer & Hudson were so stinkin' cute with the butterflies. Every time they saw a different one, they would pull out their pamphlet, find it and show us. They were correct every time!<br />

<em><strong>Tasty Tuesday...linking up with 33 Shades of Green</strong></em><br />
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a border="0" href="http://www.33shadesofgreen.blogspot.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img src="http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac332/33shadesofgreen/tasty_tuesdays_complete2.jpg " /></a></div>
<br />
Rick has been dying to make homemade chicken pot pie for some time now. He makes the best pastry dough and I had a made a recipe awhile back that we knew we'd use to make the filling. Sunday we did it! OMG it was fabulous!!!<br />
<br />
We took two different recipes and combined them into our chicken pot pies. <br />
<br />
<strong>Dough</strong><br />
<em>(from Ina Garten - Food Network)</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>*This <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/perfect-pie-crust-recipe/index.html">dough</a> is good for anything you need pastry dough for. We've used it for multiple things...sweet or savory!</em><br />
<ul class="kv-ingred-list1">
<li itemprop="ingredients">12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) very cold unsalted butter</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">3 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 teaspoon kosher salt</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 tablespoon sugar</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">6 to 8 tablespoons (about 1/2 cup) ice water <span style="color: red;">(we use 2/3 cup of water & it turns out better)</span></li>
</ul>
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
<div class="fn_instructions" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust.</div>
<br />
<br />
And for the filling...<br />
<br />
I just used everything but the crumble on this recipe for the filling. This <a href="http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2011/02/chicken-pot-pie-crumble.html">recipe</a> is good too if you don't have time to make dough. I'm only posting the recipe for the filling, but check out the entire recipe, it's really good!<br />
<br />
<em>Chicken and Sauce:</em><br />
<em>*I doubled the vegetables because we love veggies.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
1 ½ pounds chicken (about three medium-size chicken breasts)<br />
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />
1 tablespoons olive oil<br />
1 onion , chopped fine (about 1 cup)<br />
3-4 carrots, peeled and sliced (about 1 cup)<br />
2-3 stalks celery, chopped (about ½ cup)<br />
½ teaspoon salt<br />
½ teaspoon pepper<br />
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter<br />
½ cup flour<br />
1 cup milk<br />
3/4 cup frozen peas<br />
<br />
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
To prepare the chicken, place the chicken and broth in a large Dutch oven or pot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it is just done (don’t overcook or it will dry out) – about 10-12 minutes. Alternately, if you are planning in advance, you can place the chicken and broth in a slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours. Transfer the cooked chicken to a medium bowl. Pour the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup and reserve. Return the pot to the stove top (no need to wash if you used it to cook the chicken).<br />
<br />
For the filling, heat the olive oil in the now-empty pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, shred the chicken into small bite-size pieces. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the chicken; set aside.<br />
<br />
Over medium heat melt the butter in the empty pot. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the reserved chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, taking care not to burn the bottom. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Remove from the heat and stir the chicken, vegetables and peas into the sauce. <span style="color: red;">I added about 1-2 teaspoons of thyme and I think it's a must.</span><br />
<br />
We made 4 large bowls of chicken pot pie. Rick brushed them with the common egg wash & I think that is also a must. They need to bake at 375 for about 35-40 minutes.<br />

<br />
Valentine's Day is just a typical day in our house. Rick & I have Valentine's Day every day in our house. We don't need a special day to show each other how much we love each other. As cliche as it sounds, it's so true. We always joke that one Valentine's Day we are going to go out to eat in a really expensive restaurant, buy bottles of wine, sit there and not talk to each other (like we see so often in public). Ha! <br />
<br />
But, for Spencer it's so much fun. He loves Valentine's Day and we love that he loves it. He couldn't wait for his "Valentimes" party. Thank goodness he didn't have to make a Valentine's box this year. Miss Lindsay is a smart cookie and did all of us parents a favor and made everything at school this year. Thanks!!<br />
<br />
The highlight of any party for me is making the goodies! <br />

This was the FIRST time Spencer and I have EVER been without him. Those two have had to bach it numerous times due to school conferences and such that I have to go to, but this was new territory for me. We just hunkered down and had a great time.<br />

Rick & Spencer went "manly shopping". This is something BIG to Spencer and it's only him and his daddy going to "manly" stores...i.e. Lowes, Gander, Sears, etc. Rick has been doing this with him for awhile & it's precious to hear about their excursions. And, Rick is so good to send me pictures while they're gone. :)<br />

Gander...his favorite store.</div>

Spencer has a love for bow and arrows (thanks to Hawkeye) and he usually ends up shooting so many arrow that they break. Well, dad got him a heavy duty bow and he loves it! The goggles were another purchase today. Spencer says they are his Wobble Gobbles (like Scott on the Imagination Movers).<br />

Spencer had his first dentist appointment last week. We went to a pediatric dentist that I had tons of referrals to. And, we are glad we did.<br />
<br />

Spencer does not like laying down for any doctor. It doesn't matter if it's just a simple check-up, he's not laying down. He told us before we even got back to see the dentist that he wasn't laying down. Well, they finally got him to lay down a bit (with some bribery that entailed wearing the cool Spiderman shades). </div>

They didn't want to clean his teeth this visit due to him not wanting to lay down at first and they wanted his visit to be a positive experience. So, we go back in 3 months for a cleaning. Dr. Tipton did get to look at his teeth though! (Can you see he's still not too excited about laying down??)</div>

We checked into it and long story short, it was going to cost around $200 for 4 of us. Uh, no. <br />
<br />
Rick got the bright idea to have our own Polar Express party at our house. We invited Spencer's friends Hudson & Braylee to come over. We also invited his friend Sawyer, but she couldn't make it that night. <br />
<br />
I made these invites and sent them in the mail to the kids.<br />

I also enclosed this ticket and I backed it with shiny gold card stock.<br />

<br />
I didn't take pictures of a lot of the things I did for the kids because I figured I wouldn't be blogging about it anyway. :/ We had pigs in a blanket and grapes & strawberries to start off with. I made <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/222998619020670572/">hot chocolate</a> in the crock pot which was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. We put the hot chocolate in mugs I had our art teacher write on for me (no pictures at all - sorry). Each one had their own personalized mug that had their name and on the other side said "Believe". Braylee brought some cotton candy and I had already made cups like <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/222998619020602549/">this</a> to put popcorn in, so we used them for cotton candy instead. I also made <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/222998619020326142/">these</a> chocolate dipped marshmallows.<br />
<br />
Oh my gosh they had a blast!!<br />

Get this, we have NEVER had pictures made together as a family. None. Zip. Zero. I have no idea why, but I'm so glad we did.<br />
<br />
Heather with <a href="http://www.carolinegracephotography.com/">Caroline Grace Photography</a> did an AMAZING job and I can't wait to get more done by her! We didn't get any of just Rick & I because it started to rain (and some of the following pictures it was raining but you can't even tell). Here are a <strike>few</strike> some of my favorites...<br />

I just sat there. I couldn't imagine that I had posted that much and then I couldn't decide if I wanted to spend money on continuing the blog. So it sat. And sat. And sat.<br />
<br />
Today, I'm procrastinating taking Christmas down, so I thought I would try it again and see what happened and WAAA-LAAAA! It worked. So, we're back in business. I'm sure I've lost some followers with my 2 month hiatus, but maybe I'll gain some new ones. I have a TON to post, so it will have to be the shortened version.<br />
<br />
Let's start with Thanksgiving...<br />
<br />
We went to East Texas to spend it with Rick's mom, sister and her husband and their family. Oh my gosh it is just what we need and I always love going there. I'm hoping this trip for Thanksgiving will be the norm from here on out. Emily came down from Boulder and Zach ended up flying in the day after Thanksgiving since he had to work Thanksgiving day.<br />

We took Spencer trick or treating at his school for trunk or treat and then just around the neighborhood. I got zero pictures because I literally couldn't catch up with Rick & Spencer. Spencer was on a mission! Gram and PaPaw came over to give Spencer a special treat.</div>

Funny story...Spencer loves the movie Brave. Well, he spotted one our sixth graders that was dressed up as the girl from Brave. I mean, she looks just like her. He started going nuts saying, "Mama! Mama!" (while pointing at her) He really thought it was her. So we went and found her and she is the sweetest thing and posed for a picture with Spencer. The icing on the cake was when Megan was walking away, she said, "Bye Spencer!" and he looked at me and said, "She knows my name?!?!" It literally made his night!</div>

His girlfriend Braylee goes to a different Pre-K than him (at one of our elementaries) and asked him to go to her fall festival with him. They picked him up school and took him. He had so much fun! We are so lucky that he has such sweet friends like Braylee. And thank you Ali for taking all these pictures!<br />

Ruidoso is 4 hours away and a super easy drive so we always leave Saturday morning, stay the night and come back Sunday. Sounds like it's fast and furious, but it is a perfect mini vacay.<br />
<br />
We always stay at the Inn of the Mountain Gods which is beautiful! We got a suite this time because we got special pricing for booking in September and it was awesome! I think we are spoiled and won't be able to go back to a one roomer any more. Ha!<br />

Ok, I'm back on track now.<br />
<br />
We went to my parents house Labor Day weekend for a little cook out and play time. There are endless things do to out there and Spencer can just roam (well, not too far or you'll be joining cows in the pasture).<br />
<br />
We had a great time as always!!<br />
