Campin' in the rain, what a glorious feelin', just campin' in the rain!

We are back, a day early! Your choices are severely limited as to entertaining 9 children, in the mud and rain, and preserving your camping equipment when it has been raining for 12 hours and the forecast calls for 48 more hours of rain. Thank goodness for DVD's, SUV's and Redbox! Back in the olden days my parents would have made us play cards or actual thinking games in the tent while it rained, spending some quality family time fighting and yelling at each other!

I hate to even tell anyone where we went, it was soooo beautiful that I don't want to advertise for them! I want to keep the place a secret!

They had this beautiful, I mean horrible, spring fed pool. You wouldn't want to swim there the water is really cold and clear, it would be miserable in the Texas summer!
They have wonderful LARGE campsites, but who likes that? I like to be cramped and camping on my neighbor. 
Look at this happy boy... I mean miserable child. What little boy likes to play in the water with sticks?? Keep them at home with video games, don't bring them here.

I will be honest though... this is the face of a child that is unhappy about not being allowed to go down to the river unsupervised. Horrible parents aren't we??

Just in case you wondered what you swim in when you forget your swimsuit... here it is, tada, your clothes!
Now, all Mother's out there can appreciate this one... I sent my husband back to the campsite to do a few things and sent the baby with him.  A COUPLE hours later I could not find him. So I went wandering around the campsite looking for the two of them. I found this beautiful spot in the butterfly garden, this wind chime is NOT in the foreground, it is directly above the hammock. It must be about 10 feet long, it has the most beautiful sound. I have never seen anything like it. Imagine my surprise when I find this below the wind chime:
My husband and baby asleep in someone else's hammock! How cute are they though! Yes, the baby did wake up with hammock marks across his face. 
This is the large spring fed pool that you wouldn't want to waste your time visiting... Not very pretty huh? :)
The kids under the waterfall that is directly below where we camped. Geeze, this place sucked, gorgeous waterfall and all... you sure wouldn't want to visit this place. I must have 20 pictures of this pose over the past 11 years, with all the kids on different trips. Paul with the backpack and a sleeping baby. Why don't they make these things for adults? 
Tucker's nick name is El Tortuga, The Turtle. He puts it on all this baseball stuff. True to his name he spent most of the time catching turtles in the water. It was pretty amazing how he swam up under them and caught them. 
Another view of this miserable place... :)
My crazy 9 year old daughter flying through the air on the rope swing. Yep, thats her in mid-air!
I wish I had a wide enough angle to capture all 6 asleep on the drive back. But here are 4 of the cutest kids on the planet. Isn't it fun to be a parent? We wore these kids out!

So this horrible place is called Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas. I can understand if you want to come out and see how bad it is for yourself, just make sure we have reservations first!

My Birthday!

Tiffany would never tell anyone it's her birthday-but since she is gone for the weekend and I am evil and have her password (muahahaha) I thought I'd just send out a little note and let everyone know that yesterday was her birthday!!! I won't tell y'all how young she is-we'll leave that to be a mystery. But, feel free to leave birthday wishes for her and I know she is hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!

Love from her sister,

Anna

All time favorite recipe: Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

I have been wanting to post this recipe for a while but keep forgetting. This is our all time favorite dinner recipe. I would guess we have made it about every 10 days for the past few years and are not tired of it yet.  It is so EASY!! 

My little kids LOVE it. They will eat 2 tilapia fillets each. When we make it for the 8 of us we have to make 15 pieces. If you are looking for a fish recipe that EVERYONE will eat and enjoy, this is it! Try it! I promise you will like it, and if you don't tell the kids it is fish they will love it also!

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 pounds tilapia fillets

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

See how easy that is! Promise me next time tilapia is on sale you will try it. Even picky eaters like it. 

Do you have a favorite fish recipe we can try? I will try any posted and let you know how it turned out over here. I have fed the kids fish since they were born, so fortunately my kids love it. We are willing to try anything new.

Have a great holiday weekend!

An Ode to Ike and other things!

A small request... We will be camping a few times this summer and I am having to prepare a menu and do the shopping for an upcoming camping trip, and I am out of ideas for food! Can anyone please leave a comment and suggest what your kids will eat and like while camping? Also, any easy to prepare and inexpensive ideas are welcome!

Aren't they cute? The little frogs.

Not when they are in your swimming pool...

Our pool has been damaged since hurricane Ike. It has been 8 MONTHS. We are still fighting with our insurance company, and are submitting for the third time three different estimates on repairs for it. I am furious! Not only are we usually swimming by now, but it has become a health and safety hazard. Anybody know a good lawyer?
Miller however is loving "Lake Ivanovsky" behind him. He drinks from the pool all day and eats tadpoles as appetizers. 
I wish you could see Storie's face, she is the happiest kid alive. This is her favorite thing to do, aside from catching tadpoles.
This is my little house with the lawn grown in from the new sod. It just isn't the same without my two big trees that we lost. I am going to replant something in the fall. Any suggestions?? I was thinking maybe a red maple.
This is the morning after Ike. I am going to miss all the shade I had in the summer. Trees really are a blessing, they just can't pop up overnight. They really change the feel of an area, my house seems naked without them.

Any big plans for the holiday weekend??

Target, CVS and Wal-Mart Deals Week of 5-17 and Pictures

Before you do anything, go HERE, and read about what my Sister-in-law and Brother were doing while I was watching their kids. They were supposed to be going to a movie...

I reported before about the Prego for 0.50 at Wal-Mart. Well I bought 24 jars. Then went home ordered coupons off ebay for 0.25 off one, paid $1.50 for 40 of them. They came in the mail, I ran up to Wal-Mart and bought 60 more jars for $20. Don't forget you can purchase coupons on ebay for items you will buy a lot of.

The sugar I got at Walgreens for 0.37 a pound on clearance.
I used all my Mr. Clean Buy one get one (B1G1) free coupons for cleaning supplies. I have a years supply of all my cleaning products now, all for more than 50% off.
Opps! This picture didn't load right! If I had any warning on Saturday I would have posted the free diaper deal at Walgreens, but I only found it hours before it ended so I am going to spare you the heartbreak!
Again, all the Mr. Clean products. 
I also used all my buy one get one free Ziploc coupons from the paper last week. Target had many of their ziploc's on clearance and price-cut so I bought all those and my coupons worked on them, making each box under $1.
I also have 14 soft scrubs, thanks to B1G1 free. I use about 1 a month so I have my years supply of these also. They were $2.65 at target and $2.35 at Wal-Mart. So I paid $1.15 for each one.

This weekend is a holiday weekend so look for many deals on snacks, soda and paper goods.

The Kraft coupons reloaded so you can print more at coupons.com

~~ NOTE: There area  few places to get Target coupons, from A Full Cup or the Organic coupon generator. I prefer The organic one, easier to use. Today I linked to A full cup, so if you would rather go to the organic site please do that. Also, if it says HERE anywhere, you should be able to click on that as a link. If I have made a mistake or if a link is no longer working please let me know.
