Yuuuummmmyyyyy...

So I decided to do some baking and couldn't remember how many the batch would make, so yep I doubled it and wow did we have cinnamon rolls coming out our ears. They were so yummy and guilt free since the were fat free! I am getting so much better at figuring out how to create healthier treats for us to enjoy.

Garden

One of my favorite things that I have the best memories of from growing up was our garden! My mom and dad our amazing at the Garden's (granted they have great soil and the perfect climate for it, but they do good work) :-) I have tried off and on but for the last 3 years I have had really good gardens (for Flagstaff) and I am so proud that I can make things grow here. Lucky for me Scott let's me keep trying even though we don't usually get a lot out of it. This year I have to say is looking to be my best garden yet I am so excited to start getting some veggies and making salsa. This year we are growing Brussel Sprouts, Strawberries, Lettuce, Peas, Peppers: Bell, Jalapeno, New Mexico, & Big Jim's, Spinach, Green Beans (some of our favorites so we did 3 rows of just them!), and Tomatoes.

Weekend Away

For our anniversary (11 years already) Scott got me tickets to go see Broadways "Mamma Mia"



and took me to Phoenix to stay at Tapatio Cliffs for the weekend. It was such a beautiful and relaxing place.




Thanks so much to Scott's folks for keeping the boys. We had such a great time, we went to the show and loved it (me probably more than Scott, but love him even more than I did before since he went with me!!!), then spent the rest of the weekend lounging beside the pull in SUN SHINE and being WARM it was so great, eating amazing food and hanging out with good company! Scott of course, and my Sis & Bro Kara & Billy came out and joined us it was so fun.

Burpers!!!

So Fun. I got to do some sewing, it is "Sew" much more fun when you are making cute things then when you are fixing things. I loved doing these and they were so simple. I am feeling crafty again so any ideas on projects would be welcome!

Life Expectancy

I have had lot's of fun with these little survey's and things lately. I loved this one that calculated your life expectancy. Of course it gives me several suggestions to add on more years so I will have to give it a try so that I can stick around for a good long time!

My calculated life expectancy is 85 years

(I got it from answering a few questions on livingto100.com.)

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I am Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I have some Domestic Talent...

Ok so if you know me very well you'll know that I am not the best house wife out there. But I did manage to put up a few batches of Plum Jam this summer.

Life's Lessons

On Tuesday the boys and I were driving home from the library we pulled up behind an old VW Bus and stopped because the light was red, I wasn't really paying to much attention to the Bus and figured that they weren't turning right since there was a lot of traffic, when I looked forward I realized that there was this metal thing that looked to be a rear view mirror or something between me and the VW as I realized that it was metal and I would not want to drive over it for fear of damaging the car I put the car into park got out grabbed the hunk of metal and got back in the car and tossed it in the seat next to me, Jake asked what I was doing and I started giving him a lesson on "Littering" and that people should not through their garbage out in the street or leave it on the side of the road, that it was bad to do, while continuing on with the lesson the light turned green and the VW didn't move shortly there after a woman got out of the passenger side and waved us around and what point I went off on a little tirade about how people should use their hazard lights if they were broken down! So that people would know not to hold traffic up. By the time I was done on my "Soap Box" I looked over and realized that the contraption looked something like a reflector attached to the hunk of junk metal & at that moment as I am pulling in to the house I realized that I had gotten out of my car and stolen this ladies "hazard light" so to speak. I can't believe I am such a blond and of course I was way to embarrassed to try to go back to give it back so now I am confessing so that I can quit feeling quite so guilty.

Ok so I'm telling on myself here but I figured that you might all need a good laugh!
Here is to life's lessons and learning from them...
