i did a stake class and decided to put on a few recipes that i did so here is one of them.

 

stuffed shells

1 lb hamburger

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 to 1 brick cream cheese

 

after u browned the hamburger add your cheeses.. you dont need to boil your shells just stuff them and put them in the bottom of your crock pot..(dont forget to pam it first)

 

add your favorite jar of sauce (i use two cuz i like sauce), and 1 jar of water.. cover and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3.. add cheese to the top before u serve and let it melt.. and there u have it dinner..

 

cost:

shells .49

hamburger 2.49

cottage cheese 1.49 for the tub

cream cheese 1.00

broccoli .88 lb

watermelon 4 lbs for 1

 

total to feed my family of 7 plus leftovers: 10.23

end of june.. thank goodness

the end of june is here and i am sooooooo glad.. we are just about done with tennis for the kids.. they have 2 days left with one of them as there party.  wyatt had a campout for a few days and i realized how much i miss that kid. plus how much i rely on him some days.. but cameron and carter have helped out a ton.. we hit the library this week and it was big equipment day so the kids got to climb all over the big trucks and dozers the city uses.. we also ended up getting a new washer cuz mine finally died..yeah and boo.. but it works .. nothing fancy at all but it works... happy end of june.. A-

june- so far

 so we started june off with a bang.. i had band camp the first week.. the kids did really well.  the picked up everything they were taught and it made me so proud and excited for this year.
we ended the week with a water balloon fight..

 cameron and samantha also started soccer.  cameron is excelling and picking up new things that he has not learned in the past.  like goalie.. samantha is having alot of fun learning too.. she is a little timid at first but then warms up to it..wyatt and carter are also doing tennis so our days are pretty crazy right now

 if u have been to or seen my house i did have a deck.. it was falling apart along with the rest of my yard so i started working on it.  i ripped out my deck with the help of a good freind and now its time to rent a bobcat to finish up the heavy stuff and move all the dirt around and level everything.

we went to logan this past weekend to have a little get together with my siblings before 2 of them move away.  my baby sister and her hubby are moving to north carolina and my brother and his wife are moving to wyoming.  they are both excited to start there new lives and i am excited for them.  who knows when all the merrifields will be in the same room again but it thats ok. we can handle.. thats probably why we all talk so much.  we are now from coast to coast..

we also signed up for the summer reading program cause its free.. today they planted seeds and emmett played in the tire sandbox while the kids got books.. hey everyone was happy..now off to the rest of the day
