Blocker Boys On the Go!

We went and got our taxes done the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of the return.  We will be out of debt completely  by the time we move.  Hopefully we will remain debt free since we will only have one house payment when we move back to our house.

However in preparation for our move all the animals went to the vet today.  Toulouse the cat has a UTI, but no big deal just a few antibiotics.  Maddie on the other hand has two teeth that need to be pulled.  That will be quite expensive I am sure.  So I have scheduled her last trip to the vet in NC for the end of February.

Due to our trip to the vet to pick up all the animals, we returned home about the same time as B.  This resulted in him helping cook dinner which was rather enjoyable.  We made a quick and easy Alfredo sauce that taste pretty much like the stuff from the jar.  Added a little chicken and we were good to go.  As per usual K1 refused to eat poultry.  I will never figure him out.  Chicken nuggets are ok, but no other poultry.


Quick Alfredo

4oz (half block of nuetcehfal also called 1/3 fat cream cheese)
1 can 15oz chicken broth
4 Tbs flour
1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese
1Tbs garlic powder
pepper to taste

This is enough sauce for about a half pound of pasta.  Add all ingredients to a sauce pan and stir continuously until all the cheeses melt.  Continue cooking until the consistency is what you like.  It should reach an Alfredo consistency rather quickly once the cheeses melt.

So to throw my dear husband off I am going to give him his Valentine's day present tonight.  I ordered Chocolate dipped cookies and strawberries.  Then I set out the candles that we never use.  The best part is that I did this all before he got home and he still has not noticed.  So once both the kids get in bed I can light the candles, and bring out his strawberries and cookies.  He will still be surprised since nothing looks out of place to him.

Well got the little guys to sleep.  B loved his strawberries, and looked very surprised. I decided to opt out of the candles since we were watching a movie at the time.  Almost done with laundry for the day.  We are the proud owners of one deranged cat that my husband saved from the shelter before we got married.  The evil cat decided to pee on our bed last night.  So I have been doing all that laundry today.  So far the good sheets are back on the bed, and the electric blanket is washed.  The comforter might be dry by bed time here is hoping!!

On another plus note we are going to get our taxes done in the morning.  I wonder how much we will see on our return this year.  We also get one more rent check from the Virginia house before we move back in.  I am really excited to start saving money again once we move.  Right now our budget is pretty tight due to having to pay rent here, and the rest of the mortgage at the other house.  The weather should be getting nicer by the time we move too, so the boys and I can go to the park and play.  Really looking forward to the coming year!

Well I needed a new place to vent so taking up blogging again. It did me a world of good the first time when I kept up with it.  Tonight my husband is out a Navy conference until sometime tomorrow.  My almost 2 year old son is in bed, and my 2 month old is in his swing.  So I currently have a little time to try to set up a new blog.

So a quick bio before I go do a little more blog setup.  I married my husband in 2007 (to be known in the blog as B).  We met while we were in the Navy, and Stationed in Norfolk, VA.  In early 2009 we had our first son (to be known in the blog as K1), and we had our second son in late 2010 (to be known in the blog as K2).  Our family also includes two greyhounds, a chihuahua, and 2 cats. We are preparing to move due to Navy transfer in a few months.  I am mildly worried about getting everything ready to move in a timely manner.  I have a million things to put on craigslist, and stuff that just generally needs to be clean out before we move.  I am extremely grateful that the Navy will be paying for movers to move our stuff.  I can not imagine getting it all packed with a 2yr old and a 4 month old.

So if you decide to follow this thanks.  I will try to keep it more organized and consistent this go round.  I like to post recipes, and our daily life happenings.  Thanks for reading this far.
