The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. A picture is now only worth 200 words. They renamed Wall Street " Wal-Mart Street". Finally, I called the Suicide Hotline and I got a call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.
You are looking at a picture of my newest big-ticket wish item: the Vita-Mix Super 5200. This is not just a blender or a smoothie maker. This puppy can grind or blend anything! Wet stuff like a normal blender, or dry stuff like grains, nuts, and beans!! That is why I really dream of it. My grain mill is working well for us and I have been able to make flours out of various grains, but I cannot use it for beans or nuts, which I use almost as much as grains in my new allergy baking and cooking. Check out all the stuff this can do! It even comes in red... Other than the $550 price tag, I can think of no reason not to get one right now!I think I'll just stick with the name my parent's gave me. I think it's pretty great!
It's Aaron's turn!! He understood the questions a little bit better, so his answers make a little more sense than Ethan's did! After reading Ethan's, if you still had a bit of doubt as to how much we emphasize obeying in our house, it should be erased after reading this!! I am glad that we are getting that across to our kids! 
I had seen many people asking their kids these questions, and I was really curious to see what responses my kids would make! So I interviewed them and asked them questions about me. It was so fun to see myself through my kids eyes! I interviewed them separately, yet some of their answers were identical! Since Ethan had his birthday last week, I thought I'd start with him. These pictures of him were all taken on his birthday!

To make these yummy breakfast tacos, you needYou will also want a splash of milk and salsa, which are not pictured. I actually left the salsa out this day since just typing the word salsa gives me heartburn at this stage of pregnancy! *Note: I fully intended to photograph each stage of making these beauties, but let's face it - I'm pregnant, and haven't eaten for 10 hours at this point. Hunger outweighed blogging interest here. Can you blame me?
First, chop the avocado and bathe it in lime juice for flavor and color-fastness. Let it sit in the juicy goodness while you do the rest. Chop the tomato and begin to heat the black beans. Whisk the egg with a splash of milk and scramble it up in a skillet. You are now ready to assemble your breakfast goodness.
Split the egg between two warmed corn tortillas and top the egg with the warm black beans (If you don't buy a seasoned recipe, you may want to season these before warming them up. Or season your egg - something - or else this will taste a lot blander than it looks!)
Now it is time to add the yummy, colorful stuff. I add the cheese first so it gets a bit melty on top of the warm food. Then top with salsa, tomato, and avocado. If you have really fresh tortillas, these work well with your hands. If your tortillas, like mine, have been in the fridge for a while already, break out a fork and get busy emptying your plate!
