Mexican Wreath

My friend invited me over for dinner at her house and the home made meal was Mexican Wreath. Her and her mom made it up and it was just SO delicious to my taste buds that I just absolutely needed the recipe so I can make it. It really is SO good that I've decided to share it and you can try it too.

Ingredients:
* 3 big cans of chicken (you can use beef if wanted)
* 2 fajita seasoning mixes
* 2 small cans of green chili- mild
* 1 tomatoe- chopped
* 1 can of black olives
* 2 crescent rolls- it depends on how much you plan on making,
if you need more
* 2 cups of mayonnaise
* 1 bag of chips
* pizza pan

Directions:
* Set oven to 350 degrees.

* Crush chips together. Unroll the crescents. Dip one side of the crescent onto the chips. Put the crescent, chip side down, half way onto the pan with the pointy side hanging off. Over lap them half over each other.


* Cut the olives into halves. Mix together the chicken-or beef, fajita seasoning, green chili, olives, tomatoes and mayonnaise in a bowl. Fill up the crescents with the mixture of ingredients.


* Fold the end of the crescent over the mixture and tuck it onto the pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

Mother's Day hike...

All the moms, daughters, cousins, and dads went to Eldorado Canyon State Park for Mother's Day. The weather was perfect for a good day of hiking. No rain clouds in sight and a day full of sunshine. It couldn't of been better. Lunches were packed and there was a pit stop to enjoy them and get fueled up with some more energy.

Adam in Georgia- with the Army and Michael in California- just moved there.





Book marks for Mother's Day...

I came up with the idea of making book marks for the moms that I know that read, for a Mother's Day gift. I just went and got some blank book marks at Hobby Lobby and then devoloped some cute pictures of their children and glued them on and then went and got them done at an office store. They turned out cute and it was a good idea!

Camping for Father's Day...

It's an annual thing with the family for Father's Day. My dad LOVES to go camping and fishing and so we go at least once a year for Father's Day since he enjoys it so much. The whole family went, besides my brothers, but it was still a good time. We went to Turquoise Lake up in the mountains this year. Fishing was fun and me and the boys, and even my 3 year old niece, caught a lot of fish!



The boys weren't there but the girls still had fun with dad.

My dad had a good camping trip and caught LOTS of fish!!!




Yeah it isn't girly but I do LOVE to clean fish. Maybe it's 'cause I grew up fishing?! Me and my friend both like to do it so I'm not alone with liking to do the job!

Dinner's ready!!! SYKE...I don't even like to eat fish, only to catch it!!!

One of the fish my 3 year old niece, Rylee, caught with her pink princess pole. She caught more than me!

It all began in 1980...

My friend's just turned the big 3-0!!! Growing up in the 80's was SO cool so why not throw an 80's birthday bash to throw in the mix of AWESOMENESS!!!

Ms. Pac-Man is gonna get the birthday boys...






VOGUE!!!

Beans rocks it 80's style!

Birthday "parties"

My birthday fell on a thursday but that doesn't mean you can't go have fun since it's not on the weekend. I started the evening off with dinner and cake- my favorite: ice cream cake- with the family. After getting full off that I headed down to downtown Denver with a couple of my friends. We had a good night of being out and about for my birthday.
Even though the whole day was good I was certainly sad. My Rockies weren't in town this year for my birthday. I've been going to the games on my birthday but not this year. :(





My friend was in town over my birthday and her birthday was the next week after mine and so a whole bunch of us girlfriends went out to downtown Denver to celebrate our birthdays together. It's been a VERY long time since we've all gone out together since my friend lives in Florida. We did all have a fun time together.

Family Reunion/Missouri

Just had a family reunion with the fam that we do every two years. We camped out in Eagle Rock, Missouri on the lake at my cousin's lake house. We spent the whole weekend with the sun out and no rain and played in the lake and got some tans and watched the fireworks over the lake. We went cliff diving and of course there was tubing.
I thought that I'd jump off the cliff but I thought wrong. I LOVE heights but don't like the jump so I didn't do it.
Tubing was super fun but boy can you get hurt doing that "sport". Dacia does some crazy tricks while tubing!!! My neck is still hurting and I told myself that I'm only gonna go tubing once. Well I decide to just go along for the ride on the boat again with Virgie and her sisters. She decides that she wants to go tubing and her sister's wouldn't go with her so she asks me to go. I said yes 'cause it's fun either way, even though I told myself only once. Well during the ride we end up hitting this HUGE wake and I get catapolted over Virgie and knee her in the fore head and she gets bumped up real high and back and ends up breaking her back from it. Virgie spends the whole weekend in the hospital at her family's reunion and misses out on all the fun. We all hope she gets better soon and doesn't have to have surgery or anything.
