Brittani has been playing volleyball for the school since 7th grade, but this year we put her in a league. She loves it and even though they didn’t do well at the tournament, she still had a great time and got lots of experience.

DRIVING MISS KITTY
Ok.. so I Know some of you may think that the girls are being mean to our little pet kitty. But I SWEAR the cat actually does enjoy this! She actually seeks it out by getting into the stroller and looking around for the girls so that they can push her!!
It really is HILARIOUS!

FUN IN THE SNOW
The day started out warm so they actually got to play in the snow with NO jackets! Pretty fun!
Then I put them to work cleaning off the deck.
“Look at the great job we did”
LOSING THE LBS FOR PEDIATRIC CANCER!
My friend Alisha started a fundraiser called Pounds for Pediatric Cancer. Curious? Well for every pound you lose you donate money (you choose how much to donate per pound) to a cause of your choice for pediatric cancer research.
Well I have decided to join in!! I, of course, am donating my money to the Tuesday Whitt Memorial Fund. What better way to get my butt in gear to lose a crapload of weight?? And I also get to give to a WONDERFUL cause!
WISH ME LUCK! (I'll need it!)

Lasagna Soup
I just had to post this recipe. I made this last night for my mom and it is now my FAVORITE soup. It takes a little time but sooo worth it! It seriously was AMAZING!
Christy’s LASAGNA SOUP
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs bulk Italian sausage
2 onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 T tomato paste
1 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes
6 cups chicken broth
2 bay leaves
8 oz fusilli pasta
1/2 C finely chopped fresh basil
8 oz ricotta
1/2 C grated parmesan
1/4 tsp salt
pinch pepper
2 C shredded mozzarella
In a large pot, heat the oil over med heat. Add the sausage and saute’, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the pot. Add the onions and saute’ until softened, about 6 minutes.
Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and saute’ for 1 minute.
Add tomato paste and sauté until the paste turns a rusty brown, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes with their juice, the broth and the bay leaves and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add the pasta, then increase the heat to medium-high and boil the soup until the pasta is tender to the bite, following the time recommendations on the pasta package.
Discard the bay leaves, then stir in the basil. If desired, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, the parmesan, the 1/4 tsp salt and the pinch of pepper.
To serve, place about 1 - 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture in each bowl, sprinkle with some of the mozzarella, and ladle the soup on top.
ENJOY!!
