First of all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOLA! Congrats to the Wade family...now one member larger! Yeah!!!

So we have been having all kinds of fun since my last post. We've been to the Zoo, The Botanical Gardens and Chaney is a regular at the City Children's Garden. (I've posted several pictures of all our adventures below) Needless to say we have all enjoyed the recent cooler weather!

The Lafayette Square bike race is today so we have plans later this afternoon to venture out into the streets to take in all the festivities. One of the races prior to the professional race is a tricycle race for the kiddos. I cant wait until the girls are big enough to enter; there are a couple of neighborhood boys who are regulars and i look forward to being able to tease their trash talking dads when my girls smoke their boys!

As I am sure you all have marked on your calendars, Tiger football starts tomorrow! Great Aunt Johnna (GAJ) sent the girls some new Tiger wear and we are all very excited about getting geared up for the big game. (They have had some pink Tiger gear in the past, but this is their first real black and gold team wear.) Getting into the football spirit I wanted to share a recipe for what is officially called "TACO SOUP"....but its become my new chili recipe...yummy! (Its super easy and taste even better reheated.)

Enjoy and GO TIGERS!!

1lb Ground Turkey
1 Small Onion (i use red)
1 pkg Ranch Dressing Dry Mix
1 pkg Taco Seasoning
1 can Pinto Beans
1 can Chili Hot Beans
1 can Whole Corn
1 can Mexican Flavor Diced Tomatoes
1 can Regular Diced Tomatoes

Brown the turkey with the onion and ranch mix then just dump everything into a large pot. (don't drain anything, dump juices and all) Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
