ABCs

COLTER WILLIS is now performing at THE CACTUS LOUNGE see him every Sat and Sun after his nap!

To book him for your next event, please contact his Momma or Daddy

I finally caught Colter on video singing! Normally the second I pull out the camera he runs or wants to just look at it. Colter has been quite the little singer lately. In the car he has a toddler music cd that we listen to, so he has memorized most of the songs. He has now stopped watching his videos in the car and only wants to sing....great for me, since I was getting a little worn out on Elmo. Although Momma is NOT allowed to sing. The second I start singing or humming, Colter tells me "Momma STOP singing!" In this video I caught him singing the ABC song, but some of his other favorites to sing are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rock A Bye Baby, This Old Man, BINGO, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Old McDonald.....oh and a few WAYLON JENNINGS songs!

Chicken Enchiladas

1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp chili powder
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
8 flour tortillas
2 cups monterey jack or cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl stir together soup and sour cream

2. In a sauce pan cook onion and chili powder in butter until onion is tender. Then, stir in chicken, chilies and 2 tablespoons of soup mixture. (I added more sour cream to this so it wasn't so dry)

3. To make enchiladas: spread about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture along center of tortilla. Fold sides and place in a large greased casserole dish. Do this to all 8 tortillas.

4. Once all tortillas are in dish spread remaining soup mixture over enchiladas. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Then sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes.

Sesame Street Live

Last Friday, my friend Jill invited Colter and me to go to Sesame Street Live with her and her daughter Avery! The kids loved it and we loved watching the kids. We got to Reliant Arena about an hour early and let the kids run around and play in the empty seats. Then it was showtime! Once the lights dimmed and the music began the kids were mesmerized. Colter was glued to his chair and Avery danced keeping us laughing the whole time! It was great to see how excited they were...very much worth every minute and dollar! At intermission I took Colter to the restroom and we came back to a surprise....an ELMO balloon! The kids loved them so much that we had to be sneaky and hide them under the seats for the remainder of the show. What a great day! Thanks Jill for inviting us....
