Weekend

Kyle and I stayed downtown Friday night after pricelining a CHEAP 5 star hotel and going to the Wings game. It was great and Kyle and I haven't been out on a date in like 4 or 5 months!! We prefer to stay in with Henry...but know how important it is to have those nights out and alone. We are super excited for our 2 day get away in February. I have 9 days off, and 2 will be in Vegas with Kyle. Thanks Dad for the skymiles!!! :-D

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

"uh ohhh".....

best helper.

I snagged up this piece at Homegoods on Sunday. Less than $30.00....I put it on the wall when you walk downstairs that is what you see, between the kitchen and living room. I LOVE it. I need to get some different decor to put up on top though...

Okay...this monterey chicken is the newest addition to our weekly rotation. First...it was SOOOOOOO easy, second....mouth watering. All it is is pound out and grill your chicken breasts until cooked through. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400. Top with bbq sauce, cheese (I used colby jack), can of rotel tomatoes (spread over all of them), bacon and green onions (Kyle added some more cheese on top too...to "lock it all in")....bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. DONE! I think we ate it in the matter of 5 minutes. I serviced it with rice and a side of roasted vegetables. Henry of course loved it too.

This is the number one most requested meal from Kyle. My cajun chicken pasta. It is the perfect comfort food and I've personalized it and made it more health concious. One box of whole wheat penne (we have tons of leftovers), and then for the sauce I use low fat cream cheese, skim milk, parmesan cheese...keep whisking until thick.  Add in a bunch of cajun seasoning (we like it spicy...especially Kyle). I add in grilled chicken (that I've seasoned with cajun seasoning as well), and any vegis I have on hand that need to be used up. We used peas, carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms and onions, with lots of garlic. I serve this solo since it has a little of everything in it...the carb, protein and vegis.

Henry enjoying some peas, carrots, tomato sauce (he was dunking everything in the tomato sauce...hilarious). My mom watched him Friday night and called him a ketchup king. He loves tomatoes! I love watching him feed himself with a spoon. So big!

We took Henry to Java Jungle on Sunday. It is a jungle themed indoor play area/with a coffee and food area. I wasn't all too impressed...but of course the toddler and kids love it. It goes up to age 10 I believe. They even have a section just for birth-3 year olds so they don't get trampled on. Henry was okay with that for a while, but really wanted to be in on the action with the bigger kids. He really is fearless. He ran around for a few good hours and we had so much fun. He kept pointing at all the animals and naming them. He is such a sweet boy with all the kids, as usual, and was obsessed with a little girl there. He kept running in circles and laughing and if she wasn't watching him he would fuss a little. LOL! Kyle called his running in circles his "sexy dance." Oh for crying out loud! For only $3.00 for Henry....we will go again.
