Recipes and Beach Pics!

I love to cook, however, I no longer have time to do much of it so the simpler a recipe the better.  These two recipes I like to consider "recipes".... yes, in quotations because I don't consider anything this minimal or easy to be real cooking but we will take what we can get in this house.

Baked Eggs & Avocados
*Cut avocado in half, remove seed, and a little bit of the fruit from where the seed was 
*Crack an egg in to the hole where the seed was (you need two eggs if using the whole avocado)
*Season....I use salt, pepper, and onion powder 
*Bake at 425 until the egg is done to your liking....I like my eggs runny so 15 mins does the trick for me
Note- Unless you are using small or medium eggs (and lets face it everyone uses large eggs) your egg will not all fit in the avocado.  I didn't care, however, I did make little tin foil "boats" for my avocados so that egg did not spill on to the baking sheet and stick

Loaded Sweet Potatoes- Got this one from Biggest Loser
*Bake Sweet Potato
*Brown some ground turkey
*Top potato with  green salsa, turkey, red salsa, and a dollop greek yogurt
Note- I know it doesn't sound appetizing but it really is and very very filling!

Don't you agree those are only "recipes."  I need to find more of these...

Now on to the pics...  We had 5 straight days of glorious warm weather earlier this month.  And I don't just mean mildly unseasonable warmth....I mean it honestly was hot at times and I had my kids on the beach for 5 days in a row type of weather. 

Enjoy!

 This girl has a serious addiction to trail mix....particularly Costco trail mix
 Love this....it was her first time on the boat since she could stand and she loved feeling the wind in her face
 Awwww
 I think I chased her down this hill 100x that day
 My favorite view
 Truckin' it!








 Y'all THIS here is childhood!  This child seriously flies when she sees the ocean!
 Divas!





 JOY!

I turned 28 today....wow!!!!  I enjoyed a wonderful day at home with family and eating a TON of oysters.  Thanks to everyone who posted on facebook, sent texts, sent cards, etc.  I surely felt the love today :)

Christmas in Iron Station

We traveled to Iron Station a little over week before Christmas to celebrate with my grandparents, cousins, uncle, and aunt.  The 5 hour drive is tough with two littles, however, it is always worth it :)

Enjoy!

 Tilley with her pawpaw
 Houston was super excited about the Avengers pen we got him...I should point out I got him this $1 pen as a second gift so he would have two to open as his sister had two from us and ofcourse he was most in love with the $1 toy...kids!
 Georgia Rae is very much in to fashion right now and she LOVED all the clothes she got from Justice
