Cicada Crazy!!

My bike got a flat tire today. I was riding it at the park with my mom and sisters and the back tire made a hissing noise. I thought it was my mom's bike and I freaked out because she just got it yesterday, but no, it was my bike. :( I'm really sad because I have no clue when we can get a new tire. But my little sister let me ride her bike for a little bit and I even got to ride my mom's bike. Then I went to play on the swings. It was still a fun day even though it was 100 degrees outside. My mom put sunscreen on us before we went to ride bikes. I'm glad because getting sunburn is no fun.

We took pictures of cicadas this evening. My sister Gracelynn screamed and ran away every time one came near her. My sister Sapphire caught them in her net. I just watched mom and helped her take pictures.

My mom holding a cicada. They kept flying and landing on her.


This is what the cicadas leave behind.


My moms new bike.


A picture I took.


And I am working on a new song to sign for you guys. I will give you a hint. It is patriotic. A lot of people have told my mom that I spelled the word sign wrong. I didn't. I am not singing I am signing. :) There will be a post coming soon about a big giveaway I am doing. Please read my blog then to find out about it.

Spaghetti Casserole Recipe

Spaghetti casserole is really easy to make. It's one of the first things I learned how to cook. Here is the recipe.

First you will need to get spaghetti noodles, sauce, shredded cheese, and parmesan cheese. You can also use mushrooms, tomatoes, or anything else you normally would put in the spaghetti.


Make the noodles like you normally would with spaghetti. We break ours in half because it's easier to eat that way. Preheat your oven to 400*F.


Testing to see if the noodles are done - I throw one on the cabinet and if it sticks, it is done. If it isn't done, it will bounce off. That is something my Mammie taught me.


Drain the noodles. Be careful, the steam is hot.


Stir in the spaghetti sauce.


Spray a casserole pan with non stick cooking spray. Pour 1/3 of the spaghetti mixture into the pan.


Add 1/3 of the cheese, then another 1/3 of the spaghetti, and alternate until you are out of spaghetti and the cheese is still on top.


I don't really like pictures being taken of ME when I cook.


Top with parmesan cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is nice and bubbly on top.


This is what it will look like when it is done.


Don't forget the garlic bread! We use english muffins with spray butter and garlic salt.


And I took these pictures:





Spaghetti casserole is really delicious, especially with garlic bread. What is your favorite pasta dish?

Our First Summer Trip

My mom Sadie, her friend Jessica from Kentucky, my mom Rachel, my sister Gracelynn and I went to Six Flags! Going there was fun we rode the Batman, a little boat that rocks back and forth, and Thunder River. My mom, Jess, and Rachel rode the Mr. Freeze. On the Thunder River we all got soaking wet and Jessica's daughter cried a lot, but all the rides I rode were awesome!  The best was Thunder River and the Batman. It was great!

We have season passes for the first time ever so we will be going a LOT this summer. I'm excited and can't wait to spend time with my family having fun!
