A couple months ago, our sweet German Shepherd passed away after a sudden illness.  We did everything we could to try and save her.  Since then, our house hasn’t quite seemed the same.

On Friday, I happened to be scrolling facebook and saw a sad looking puppy at a local shelter.  A couple kids and I went out to meet him and fell in love!  After we heard his story, we knew he just had to come home with us!  Teddy (formerly Duke) and his mom had been turned into the shelter because his elderly owner had passed away.  He is by far the perfect pup!  He’s calm and likes to lay in the schoolroom while we do school.  He doesn’t chase our cats.  He loves to snuggle and comfort.  He’s just perfect.  He’s already cheering up and showing off his personality and we just love him!

I think we made a great choice with him and he fits into our crazy lives perfectly.  He can pick up on our emotions already and give us extra love when it’s needed.  So thankful we were able to adopt him.

Any guesses what kind of mixed pup he is?  We know his mom had some yorkie in her, but other than that, it’s anyone’s guess.

Monday: Taco Pie 

Tuesday: Southwestern Chicken in the Crock Pot

This weekend was nice but busy.  The kids are getting busier with their friends and babysitting, petsitting, and other activities.  I’m so thankful they have sweet friends.  I also took our 2 boys to Monster Jam while it was at the Infinite Energy Arena.  That was a lot of fun!  They got to meet one of the drivers!

The week ahead brings one of our favorite little friend’s birthdays and more homeschool. We’ve been passing around a cold and I hope this week also brings healing for our family.  Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Pork Chops, veggies

Tuesday: Chicken Fried Cauliflower Rice

My boys learning to lasso this past weekend.

It’s Monday again.  I had trouble sleeping last night so I’ve been up for a while and making Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins for the crew.  The week ahead brings another homeschool week, a field trip to a local historic site, and culminating in Monster Jam.  I’m hoping to find some time to get some fall cleaning done this week.  It’s hard to think fall when it’s supposed to be 98 degrees here today!!!

Here’s what is on the menu for this week:

Monday: Egg Casserole

Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken and Brown Rice

Wednesday: Spaghetti

Thursday: Rotisserie Chicken (Did you know Fresh Market has $5 Rotisserie Chickens on Thursday this month!!?), veggies

Friday: Dinner Out

Saturday: Smoked Boston butt, veggies

Sunday: Low Carb Chicken Chimichangas

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone that is back to school is having a great year so far!  We haven’t started yet.  Maybe next week, but who knows.  We may just wait until September.  This teacher is not ready!  I want to spend more time at the pool and having fun with my kids.

This past weekend was a blast.  Our oldest turned 16 and we let her take 3 friends with her on an overnight outing to the mountains.  We rode horses, swam, had dinner at a fancy restaurant, built a bonfire, sang songs, had an impromptu dance party, and more.  Such a sweet time with a great group of kids!

We are getting ready to settle back into some calmer days and for that, I am thankful.  God has been so gracious to us during these busy and crazy seasons.  We spent the weekend cleaning out the garage and got a few things listed to sell.  That’s always a great feeling getting rid of things we don’t need!

This week, we are looking forward to a dear friend returning from being deployed to Afghanistan.  So excited to see him again, and I know his wife and kids can’t wait!  Have a great week!

Monday: Grilled Chicken Salad
