Poooooooooooor Shasta!

Got a haircut.  She doesn't look as ridiculous as I thought she would, but her tail is pretty skinny, like a little toothpick attached to her big fat rump!!!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

It sounded good so I made it happen.  I really had no idea how this was gonna turn out when I started but luckily for me it was delicious!!


1 Pkg boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed into bite-size pieces
1/2 (each) medium size yellow, red, and orange bell pepper
1/2 an onion
1 Pkg pre sliced, pre cleaned mushrooms
1/2(ish) jar of Alfredo Sauce (I think I used Ragu)
Parmesan Cheese - as much as you'd like LOL
Sprinkle of shredded colby-jack cheese
1 roll of pizza dough - I used Pillsbury

Cook chicken in olive oil, add veggies and saute until almost tender.  While the chicken and veggies are cooking, roll out pizza dough on greased cake pan.  Prick with a fork to prevent bubbles.  Add Alfredo sauce to veggies and chicken.  I just eyeballed it, once everything was covered in sauce I called it good.  Sprinkle cheese on top and bake following pizza crust directions (13 to 17 minutes for me)

YUMMMMMMMMY!

There are a lot of substitutions you can make.  For me, simple is best so I used store bought dough, Alfredo sauce, and pre sliced mushrooms.  You could totally use homemade dough (which one of these days I will have time to make again) and sauces and it would be even better.  My pizza was pretty "saucy" and once it was cut kinda ran all over the place, so if you want a more "structured" pizza then I would layer the sauce on the bread dough instead of mixing it into the chicken and veggies. 

Enjoy!!

Ady's New 'Do



I decided it was time for Adyson to get a haircut.  The 30 minutes of kicking and screaming and having to buy detangler spray every other week were getting old....  So I pulled up a few pictures online and let her choose. 

Here is her "before" picture, with her "cool dude new haircut" picture:



I told her to tell her hair and all its tangles "bye bye"


NOT a fan of the hairwash.  She hates it in the bathtub too, but everytime this guy turned on the water, she about jumped outta the chair!!


"Mom. I don't like these hair clips.  I want MY haircut!!"



No turning back now.....


All cut, now for a "blow out"...




She got bored quick.  Luckily she has really fine, fast drying hair!




TA-DAAAAA!!!




(and no, I didn't have bangs cute to hang in her face... I am STILL trying to grow them out...)

Happy Boy

Cooper is a grump today, so I thought I should post some of his "happy" faces to remind myself that he isn't always a grouch!!!



Diggin' for treasure...




No money, just a stale piece of popcorn, which he of course tried to eat...



...and this is the look I got when I took it away. 



And, just in case you are wondering,  here is where the missing couch cushion was... Adyson needed a "couch" for her animals :o)
