Addie's Bible Verse

The girls went to Bible School last week and since then Addie has wanted us to start memorizing verses...which is not a bad idea...but she makes theses versus up.

Here is our verse for Wednesday, June 3rd.

spring came. jesus came to life. come on let's play. it's spring.

psalms 82:5

I actually got a sticker for memorizing this!!

Oriental Chicken with Cashews

This recipe involves more time and preparation than the other recipes, but it is worth it!

1 tsp instant chicken bouillon

3/4 cup water

1 T cornstarch

1 t. soy sauce

1/4 cup cold water

2 T oil

2 chicken breasts (I usually use 3 or 4)

3/4 cup sliced carrots

1/4 med. onion cut in 1" pieces

1 cup or 6 oz frozen pea pods, thawed, drained

4.5 oz sliced mushrooms, drained

1/3 cup whole cashews

hot cooked rice

• Dissolve bouillon in 3/4 cup hot water. Stir cornstarch and soy sauce into 1/4 cup cold water, set both mixtures aside.
• In large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Stir-fry chicken in hot oil until opaque. I season the chicken at this point with Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt. You could use whatever you like.
• Add carrots and onions, stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add dissolved bouillon; cover. Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
• Add pea pods, mushrooms, and soy sauce mixture. Stir fry unil liquid thickens and pea pods are crisp-tender.
• Stir in cashews.
• Serve over hot cooked rice or chow mein noodles.

Memorial Weekend

We had a really great Memorial Weekend. Nice weather for the most part and fun times with family and friends!

What did we do?

Attended a fun wedding and reception

Went golfing in Bertrand

Walked around the cemetary - we've done this every year with the girls to show them where our family members are buried

Saw 'Night at the Museum 2'

Watched Joe's high school friend fly a fuel tanker over Loomis

Spent time at Johnson Lake

Joe 'the pro' ready to teach the girls how to golf.

Emma did a great job, but they were most fascinated by the ball-washing contraption.

Terrible picture, but here is Wade Holen flying over Phelps County in his fuel tanker.

We went to the lake, but it rained in the afternoon so they kids spent time in the cabin watching a movie.

Ben and Luke in a water gun fight....although they're not even facing each other....so I'm not sure what is going on here.

Addie's Pre-School Graduation

Addie graduated from Trinity Pre-School last month.

The most wonderful pre-school teachers ever! Mrs. Sue and Mrs. Lana

Recieving her diploma

Expect to see another post similar to this next year. Since she will just be 5 in September she is going to attend pre-school for another year. Another year with Mrs. Sue and Mrs. Lana is Heaven for Addie!!
