Love this quick and easy fave!

I have had the WORST cold the last couple days. I had to call in to work this morning because it was really that bad. So obviously I was not really feelin' the idea of making dinner, which only meant one thing. BBQ'd pizzas! I buy the "Naan" Indian bread and use it for the crust which makes it super easy. You can also freeze them so you have them on hand for times like these. It's so easy and you can make so many different varieties! We do simple and classic: red sauce,mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and black olives. Lynaya helped me make them and Matt barbecued them for us on foil so the bottoms wouldn't burn! They turn out great every time and are so tasty!













School is not cool.

Time seriously just flies by. For some reason I had decided it was a good idea to take 3 online classes at Green River. I have no clue what I was thinking, and naturally it backfired. I was so overwhelmed with homework for three months that it seemed I had no time to enjoy life. So that settled that. No school for me. Period. 

Work has been absolutely fantastic and the kids are enjoying the weather now that it is beginning to warm up. 

Here are some photos to help catch up on our lives. 

We made stockings up at the cabin. They turned out fantastic, and I love that we have personal handmade stockings each year now:

We helped the Seahawks to victory playing the Seahawks drinking game:

What a steal!

One thing I look forward to way more than I should is emails from Gap Outlet. Every now and again they send me a rare gem of an email informing me that by presenting the email at checkout for that weekend only I will receive 40% off my entire purchase. This is on top of the already reduced outlet prices that are already 40-50% off. 

So last weekend I got an email and sure enough I jetted over and struck gold! A week or two prior I had purchased two pair of jeans for Khyler because his old ones got holes in them as they usually do. (Grr. The joy of having a boy.) At that time they were both 40% off the ticketed price. Pretty good deal. Well I bought him a size 8 and of course they were WAY too big for my skin-and-bones 7 1/2 year old so I had brought them with me to exchange for a size 7. Come to find out they were now both 50% off and I had my super cool 40% off on top of that. I also realized that I had $60 remaining on a gift card I had forgotten about. So I left the store with all this and only had to pay $60!
