It seems like just yesterday we were bringing Connor home from the hospital.  When people say time flies you don’t really realize it until it already has.

We dropped Connor off this morning and he did just fine!  He was pretty much like “See ya later Mom & Dad I got this!”.  When I picked him up today he said he wanted to go back tomorrow, so I guess it didn’t go too bad.  Of course when I ask him what he did today he always replies “stuff” or “I don’t remember”.

ELABORATE.  Ha ha!

Anyway…it was fun to see everyone’s posts on Facebook today too!  Enjoying every day and each moment- xo Becky

We met up with Connor’s Pre-K class yesterday at a trampoline place.  We sure are going to miss those kiddos!

Easy dinners are a friend of mine.  I don’t have all day to slave away in the kitchen these days, and thankfully I’ve found a lot of recipes that help me out in a jiffy!  One of my favorite go-to recipes is a simple ham and cheese quiche.  I’ll share the recipe with you below.

Ham and Cheese Quiche

1 pre-made pie shell
6 eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup diced ham (I used Hillshire Farm Naturals® Black Forest Ham)
¼ cup diced onion
1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
salt/pepper

 Preheat oven to 375

Beat eggs with heavy cream until well blended, add salt and pepper.

Pour ham, onions and shredded cheese into egg mixture.

Pour over top of pie shell. (I use a pie shell found in the frozen section at the grocery store)

Bake 35-45 mins until set.

DONE!

I try and feed my family the best foods and most natural things that come from the store.  FINALLY there is a natural  lunch meat that tastes great and doesn’t bust my wallet.  For the recipe I made above I used Hillshire Farm Naturals® Black Forest Ham I picked up from Safeway.  It tastes great and it’s better for me and that’s a plus for us!

I’ve been reading a ton of books on my Kindle lately.  I love a good romance.  Have any of you read something you would recommend?

We also tried out a new church this past Sunday and really liked it.  Just look at my boys before church this past week.  I know they are pretty handsome right?

Connor has been playing Legos non-stop.  He just recently took an interest in them and he’s been building like crazy.  I love to see how excited he gets and his imagination runs wild.

I made this recipe last night from a site called Budget Bytes.  It was really good!  I like how the author prices out the recipe and then prices it out per serving.  Clever!!!

What are y’all up to this 4th of July?  My Mom and Dad are coming to visit us tomorrow and I’m soooooooooo excited!!!
