Carter is 2!!!
I can't believe it my little boy is 2!! He turned 2 on Wednesday. We had a nice chili and corn bread dinner. Then we had cake and ice cream along with his gifts. He had a wonderful little birthday at home. I am hoping that next year we will be closer to all of our family and will be able to have a party for him. I will try to post the pictures a little later tonight. I have to upload them to my computer first.

No more Facebook!!
So I have been toying with the idea of getting rid of my Facebook for a while now. I feel like all I do is get on to see what people are up to. I am tired of being disconnected from my family and friends. With that being said I guess I will be blogging a lot more. I will need something to keep me half occupied. I will now be able to actually work on my scrapbooks. There are so many little projects that I want to do but I spend my time on Facebook instead. Can't wait to see how many things I will be able to get done now!!

Cheesecake and Tater Tots?!?! HMMM
OK so recently we went home for Thanksgiving. We had bunches of fun seeing all of our family and it made me really miss living closer to them. Hopefully sooner or later we will be able to go back south. Anyways for Thanksgiving I decided to take a desert to my parents. I took Sopapilla Cheesecake. Everyone seemed to LOVE IT!! Brandon loves it the next morning with his coffee. Since everyone seemed to love it so much I thought I would share my recipe. So here it is!!
Sopapilla Cheesecake
2 cans of crescent rolls (I like the grands butter flavor)
2 packages cream cheese softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup melted butter
cinnamon
extra powdered sugar for sprinkling on top
In a greased 9 x 13 pan roll out one package of the crescent rolls. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Put that on the crescent roll and smooth out as much as possible. Put the next roll of crescent rolls on top. I like to brush on the butter in a nice even coat and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake on 350 for about 30 min. Every one's oven is different so you will just have to check on it. The rolls on top should be done and not gooey. When it is done and cooled some sprinkle on some powdered sugar.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving my sister in law got married (she married my cousin)! She asked me to make one of her favorite casseroles. It is Tater Tot Casserole. YUMMMM is all I have to say. We love this dish in our house. What ever is left over always goes in a tortilla the next morning. That also seemed to be a big hit so I want to share that one as well.
Tator Tot Casserole
1 package of tater tots. (I like the Ore-Ida ones)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3 cups of cheddar cheese
12 oz sour cream
Preheat oven to 350. Mix tator tots, cream or mushroom soup, sour cream and one cup of cheese. Poor into a 9x13 greased pan. Cover with foil and bake for about an hour. Every one's ovens are different so please check on it during the cooking. You want it to be bubbling in the center. The last 10 min of cooking put the remaining 2 cups of cheese on it.
I have been trying to make different things lately so when I find good recipes I will share them with you guys. Hope you guys enjoy these two for now!!!
