Saturday...Neu Style....

Sorry, we didn't have much going on Friday, except getting ready for Saturday and we partied all day long! We started off the day with Kristy Lockhart's wedding shower after the wedding! ok, so we were a little late!! Then it was clean up, take a breath and back out for Rick Turner's 70's birthday! It was a fun filled day and full of food and did I mention that Rick Turner can EAT some food! wow! I mean, I am impressed! enjoy some pictures from the day :)

Fridays with the Neu's...... Youth Retreat Style......

The Neu girlies headed out on Thursday for our Resolved Youth Retreat..We had a wonderful time!!....So Friday we were at a Youth Camp and we stayed into Saturday. It was so evident that God was in every last detail! We worshiped, prayed, ate, played, talked, goofed off, met God....what more could 2 girls ask for.....
I am so grateful to God that He has captured our hearts! We loved getting away and worshipping our savior!

The games were so fun and Chris and that marshmallow.....well.....you'd have to see that one for yourself!! I laughed so hard, cried so hard, slept so hard, prayed so hard and worshiped so hard....It was truly life changing!! The kindness of God....it always amazes me :)

Saturday Night Slingos :)

We headed on down to New Smyrna Saturday night to hang out with the Slingos! Wow! We had so much fun...when it came time to leave....well....we just didn't want to! dinner: a perfect 10 (can you say sundried tomato, artichoke, chicken yummo pasta?).....Dessert: a perfect 10.....conversation with Slingos:priceless... ~smile~

Thanks Mark and Debbie, Tori and Carly for a wonderful evening of food, fun and laughter! We had a blast and look forward to the next time we get together! Here are some random shots of the evening.....

Texas Breakfast Tacos......The best!!

Wow! Is all I can say after making these for breakfast!! These were incredible! I love mexican food, and I have never liked breakfast burritoes, so I read about breakfast tacos and how they are better than the "american, try to be mexican, but didn't quite make it, breakfast burrito" :) so...I got the ingredients at the store and I thought I would give it a try. They cost about .40 cents each to make...and I made a whopping 24....so for .80 cents, I get an extra yummo breakfast! Now, saying that...you could easily double that because I overfilled mine... I didn't have enough corn tortillas, which would make them about .20 to.30 cents each!! now that is a bargain.... so...without further ado...here is the recipe and photos:






Breakfast Tacos:

Ingredients:(seperate bowls for each)
6 eggs scrambled, salt and pepper them

2 potatoes,pierce with fork, cook in microwave for 8 minutes.(I did that the night before and put in the fridge til the morning) dice with 1/2 onion, fry in a little oil, salt and pepper them to taste (I had a lot of extra potato, so 1 might be enough...)(I also fried in the pan I made the sausage in to sort of flavor them a little)

1 can refried beans-I used fat free....

1 package of Gaspars "Linguica" sausage(Portugese) (I got it at Publix on the back wall by the hotdogs and other sausages) it is like Chorizo sausage, but wayyyyy milder :) This sausage MADE the whole thing!! so yummy and gave it that authentic texas taco style (not southwest, but close to mexico yummy taco taste!) I took the skin off of all three and crumbled it with my hands and then cooked it in a skillet with a little olive oil.

Colby Jack shredded cheese

Pace picante sauce

1 package of corn tortillas. I put oil in a skillet and cooked each one for about 30 seconds each side to soften them up. I oiled each one a little....(you can use flour, but we are trying to stay away from wheat)

Directions:
Lay your corn tortilla on the counter or a plate and spread a layer of refried beans real thin on 1/2 of it.

The spread some pace picante sauce over that.

Follow with potato, egg, sausage and cheese.... or whatever order works for you...

This made 24, but can easily make more with less inside....

I made these all up at once and put them in ziploc baggies and I will heat up 3 at a time for our family to have breakfast.....about 30-45 seconds in the microwave... or more depending on your own microwave....

enjoy!!

Here's another Friday with the Neu's:
We got up and headed out to some friend's house for the day. We had a wonderful afternoon hanging out..Yummy food, fun friends and speed scrabble...that makes for a wonderful day.

We then headed out to the Hornes for appetizers and fireworks! We had so much fun...Hey Hornes, can we come back every year?

We headed home about midnite and had some fun at home with Katelyn and Alyssa. Thanks for hanging out with us girls! It was so fun!

A very full day indeed! We are sooooo grateful for our freedom! Land of the free, Home of the brave! Happy 4th America!

Things that make you go hmmm 3......

Well, our Family man, Husband, Dad and dog owner is next :)

One thing you may not know about Joe is :

Joe can fall asleep almost anywhere, anytime...It amazes me! I have to have the perfect conditions...But not my man!

and:

Joe has sat through and likes the movie "Bleak House" Shake me up Jeffy!!

Joe is a mailman and yes, he has been bitten by a dog!

and last but not least.....

Joe's favorite thing is life is chocolate! Right up there with chocolate is his very favorite ice Cream Ben & Jerry's Wavy Gravy! They quit selling it and Joe has never been the same...

Oh, what would life be without laughs!!

We have one more member of our family and she will be up next...

Things that make you go hmmm 2........

Well...since Joe is still trying to decide what to say...Libby is up next!

Libby is our different child.....well, just so you know...she is our only child :)

Libby's favorite meal is:

you guessed it: Pumpkin Puree Pasta!

ok, so maybe you didn't guess it! But I find that very interesting myself!

Because..I don't like it at all ;)

Libby's favorite thing to drink:

Ginger Soda from the Health food store

You may not know that:

Libby absolutely loves Spy anything! She actually went to a restaraunt in Milwaukee that was set up for spies! When you went in, there was a fake bookcase door, and you pressed a lever and the bookcase moved and you entered the restaraunt! When we left, you put a quarter in the phone booth. It gave you a code, you entered it and it opened to the alley and thats how you left! It was so fun!!

and last but not least!....

She loves anything Old Fashioned including: English Country Dancing! She actually held a ball with her family at the Neufield Estate :)

Well, thats all for now! Check back tomorrow for the rest of the fam....

Things that make you go hmmm........

The truth is....we all have things about us that others would not know...unless of course they observed us and lived with us, or were with us quite regularly and even then....might still not know....

Well I thought it would be fun to share some things about each of us that you may not know...

I'll start: almost every morning I eat:
hummus and whole wheat flat bread! I know that is strange...but I love it :)

I also love Bird Watching!

We have had in our back yard-cardinals, pileated woodpeckers, tufted titmouses, quail, blue jays, hawks, hummingbirds and many more... I have several bird books and look them up if I don't know :)

It makes me very sad to see older gentlemen eating alone. When I am at a restaurant, I wonder why they are alone and pray for them and I hope their spouse has not died or something like that...my whole mercy side comes out..... :)

and last but not least....I go almost everywhere in my Birkenstock Flip Flops! They are my favorite shoes and they are so comfortable...

I know weird huh?

Tune in tomorrow for more of the family......
