Recipe Share!

I HAD to share this recipe with you!! I just made it and it was sooo GOOD!
I got it from Becky Higgins Blog


CORN & AVOCADO SALSA

1 can white corn, drained
1 can black-eyed peas, drained
1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 med. tomatoes, chopped
3 avocados, chopped
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix

Mix together all ingredients and chill overnight.

I did only use 2 1/2 tomato's, since Steve and I arent crazy about them! I also added in some red onion... and my avocados were big so I only added 2! It was a BIG hit at our house and we will for sure be making it again! :) Like on the 4th of July when we go to Antzy Nancys BBQ!!

I got some scrappen done and will share that next week, I need to get a few more done for my DT assignment at IBSS when they are done I will just have a big ole blog entry of scrappy stuff!!

We are LOVING this sunshine... taking out the boat! YEAH!! Cant wait to sail away! AHHH..... hope your having a GREAT weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Tim McGraw ROCKS!!! :) (so did Jason Aldean!)

Our Concert!!!
Last night we went to see Jason Aldean and Tim McGraw at the White River Amphitheater ~ it was soooo FUN!! The weather was GREAT!! the show was FANTASTIC!!!!! We did stop by the casino for dinner and some FUN, we got there at the end of the 1st act, but in time for the other 2!! :)
We had great seats! I was able to sneak down the side to get some even closer photos!!!! :)
Here are some of Jason Aldean!!
















and some of Tim himself!! :)







Something going on down front during the Indian Outlaw performance, Tim and his security pulled this guy out of the audience! and kicked him out of the show.. that was the excitement of the night! I want to know why! LOL!! At least he can say Tim McGraw himself yanked him up on stage and kicked him out of the concert.. he was right near the front row... I think we should have got to have his seat! LOL!!! :)
It was a FUN FUN night! NOW on to to the Toby Keith Concert Countdown!!! (24 days if you want to count with me!! :) )
THANKS mom for coming down to take care the kiddos!!!

Edited- Here is the Youtube video someone got of it happening!
