Chicken pot pie

Chicken breasts ( I use 2 big ones)
can of mixed veggies (I get veg all from base)
can of mushrooms
cream of mushroom soup
pie crust

Cook chicken in a skillet. I use garlic salt, pepper, and a tad bit of cajun spice.

Mix all in a bowl then throw it in my pie crust.

Bake on 350 for about 30 mins.

If you want to use fresh veggies pick the veggies that you want make sure they are cut small and steam them while you are cooking the chicken. Then follow directions as above. You can really do anything with this.

Enjoy

I gave in....

I remember growing up and playing with Barbies and dolls. I never really had a body image so I never really thought about Barbie's figure. Until I had a daughter. She is VERY observant of what girls wear, make up as well as figures. She has been like this since she was much much younger. Once I started to notice that she was aware of the differences in bodies and what not I made the decision that she will NOT have a Barbie. This is where I gave in. While we were at Sea World over the weekend, we were leaving and there was a Sea World Trainer Barbie


It is actually really cute. While it is cute you can make a wonderful mess with it because the dolphin and the killer whale come so that they can squirt water out of their blow hole and do flips in the little swimming pool thing! Great!

I wanted to originally write this post and show the crazy new body of Barbie.
When I had a Barbie I remember her huge boobs and small waist. That is not the case anymore. She has smaller boobs and a medium waist with huge hips! We have had a little issue since wanting to do that and actually taking the picture of Barbie.

I will get to that issue in a bit....

The barbie looks like she could have an average size chest on her and maybe a normal figure. I say normal meaning maybe a 3-5 size. Maybe. I think she looks a lot better this size rather than the ginormous rack with tiny waist she had before.

As for the issue, I am not to sure. I just know Prince brought me the Barbie and said "see!" So now we have a Barbie that has not been in the house fore more than 72 hours and is missing an arm!

Barbie and boys DO NOT mix!

Wordless Wednesday: Clydesdale horse

Guess where we went.....

This weekend since we were all feeling better we decided to take the kids to Sea World. We had a great time! Since it is a 30 min drive from our house it made it easy.
We went after Prince took his name so he was not so grouchy. Since he does not deal with crowds well I knew we would be in for an adventure. He did really well but when it came to pictures I got this:

When it came time for Princess' debut for the camera, I got things like this:

We went to feed the sea lions. They are pretty loud the actually do tricks for food.


Their food is also pretty stinky. Thank goodness SD fed them and not the kids. I really do not want to smell the fishy smell on my little ones hands!

We also went to see the manatees which I love. Sea World has a manatee rescue so they have some in there that have missing parts of their tails. It is really sad. Since I lived in Florida we learned about that, as sad as it is this does happen.

We had a great time!
We went to 2 shows and saw a lot of animals! The Shamu Rocks show was awesome at night. We went to the 8pm show and even though the kids were a bit tired at this point it was so worth it.

Right now if you are a San Diego resident you can pay kids price and go back a 2nd day for free!!! I highly recommend it!
