HALOS

Treyson and Tate had their first club tournaments this weekend, and boy, was it BUSY!!
Tanner had a double header, Ty had a club practice, Treyson had two games, and Tate had two games.  We all left the house around 7:15 a.m. and didn't return home until 10:20 p.m. 
It was a super long day, but it was fun to watch the boys play with their new teams!

11th Birthday List

This list was thrown at me as I lay in bed, then the thrower quickly ran away.
Thank goodness for a list...I wouldn't have ever thought to buy him "alot of candy" or a "liter of Dr Pepper". 
Can't believe my Treyson will be 11!!

Homemade Chinese Food

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food...but, my family loves it so I thought I'd dust off the wok and give it a try!
Recipe:
1 bag of Chinese rice noodles
4 or 5 boneless/skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
3 or 4 carrots, cut on the diagonal
1 head of broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
4 eggs
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Sauce:
Mix together
1/8 tsp Chinese Five Spice
1/4 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
1/2 cup Yoshida sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce (light or low sodium is ok)
1 cup water

Directions:
Put rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water.  Let sit 30-40 minutes. 
Add 1 tbsp oil to very hot wok, then stir fry the garlic and chicken until chicken is almost done.  Remove from wok and set aside. Add a but more oil and scramble the eggs in the hot wok.  Remove when done.
Adding a bit more oil if needed, let wok get hot and add the carrots, broccoli, peas, and mushrooms, and stir fry until slightly tender. 
Drain noodles--they should be softened. 
Add the noodles to the wok, along with the chicken and egg, and add sauce, stiring until everything is coated in the sauce.  Cook until veggies are done to your liking, and the chicken is completely cooked through.
Enjoy!

Labor Day Weekend 2012

On Thursday morning, Sara and I went to Utah on our annual Swiss Days trip!  We spent Thursday in Salt Lake City at the City Creek mall and enjoyed lunch at Kneaders. 
Friday was spent in Midway enjoying the Swiss Days festivities!  We had lunch with Bonnie, Rebecca, and Michelle, and when we finished in Midway, we headed down to SLC to visit with Murline and go to dinner with her.  We went to Layla where the company and the food were fabulous!
On Saturday we went to Dear Lizzie and then to have lunch at  Blue Lemon.  We shared fettuccine alfredo and a pannini...yummy!!   After lunch we headed back up to Salt Lake to go to a few boutiques and then it was time to head back to Phoenix.  It was such a fun trip and I'm already looking forward to next year!
 
 
Sunday morning, Tanner and I were up extra early to drive to Flagstaff to meet Kevin and the rest of the boys.  Ty's club team had their first tournament of the season this weekend and I was really excited to see Ty play!
They did so well, and Ty did exceptionally well with many RBI's, including a 3 run, 320 foot home run in one of his games!!  Awesome!!
