Fried chicken and family fun

Bryan and I have been watching Master Chef and it makes us both want to get more creative in the kitchen.  This past weekend my parents and some friends were coming over so we would be cooking for 8 people.  We thought hmmm why not try to make fried chicken?  So on the menu was:
Fried chicken
Baked beans
Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes
Deviled eggs
Rolls
Peach cobbler
Everything turned out really tasty! Fried chicken takes a while to make we found out!

Like my fancy plastic plates?!

The peach cobbler was so yummy and easy. 
Here is the recipe:
2 cans of peaches in light syrup
yellow cake mix
cinnamon
butter
Put the peaches in a 13x9 pan and sprinkle cinnamon over the top.  Evenly distribute the yellow cake mix over the top.  Then slice up about half a stick of butter and place evenly over the cake mix.  Oven to 350 and bake for 50 minutes.  So yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! You could easily do this with cherries or apples for a tasty treat. 

I did realize this weekend that we have a small kitchen! There are not normally 8 people in our house but we tried to fit people in the kitchen and it just did not work, tv trays in the living room, yea we keep it classy at our house.  We also had some wine in plastic cups....oh yeaaaa.  ;)
We got to catch up with good friends and my parents just kept getting a kick out of Logan walking and all the funny things he would do.  And my Mom also realized how much work it is running around after him!
Logan has had a runny nose and cough since last week, hope little man is not getting sick, we have gone SO long without going to the doctors office, 3 months! But when he is not feeling good he likes to snuggle so I soaked it up this weekend! He took a nap in my lap on Sunday and one with Dada later that day. 

My sweetness
