This is everyday!!!

O.k. so i know I'm a little late on this but i have been really ill the last few days and haven't really wanted to sit on here! But none the less here is week four! The gators pulled off another win and boy was this game full of excitement! I was holding my breath when Tebow hit the ground! thank goodness hes alright and thank goodness for a bye week! Maybe in the next two weeks we can get rid of the Flu and all this respiratory junk!! So on to week five. Even though there is not a game next week i will still post a pic of the updated beard!! i know u guys cant wait!!!

Sunday Scott and i went to the Jags/Arizona game! i have never been a huge jags fan but hey free tickets ill go! (i might be a fan if they would win a dang game) It was a lot of fun and it actually did make me a little sad to see how empty the stadium was! It was oh so hott so excuse the sweaty pics of scott and i but here are just a few shots from the day!

Tailgating in our new shirts, i almost wanted the "My first Jaguar shirt" but it wouldn't fit!
ready to get to our seats! but there was shade here so thank you Jesus!

The beard is starting to get some national attention we got a text sat that said "is the beard ready for another win?" haha i laughed so hard! thanx Katelyn and Josh for being so supportive! The gators did win again and the beard is still growing! and growing and growing! This is starting to get a little crazy! Tenn held there own sat but the big UF boys did pull out a win! Now if Tebow and the rest of u guys (including cooper,..yum!) can get it together now would be the time! Sat was a little scary at first but hey like i said a W is a W!! Go Gators and on with the beard growing,..hey maybe next year i should do this with my leg hair! haha maybe not!

Happy Monday everyone!!

As all of you should know, The Gators won again!!! I know all you Gator Haters are saying "it was only Troy" but we will see what happens when Tennessee and their Large Mouthed Coach comes to the swamp! This is week Two of the beard. I don't mind it so much here but oh is it going to get worse!! Scott informed me i was late with this post and that people were waiting on it! so all you crazy bloggers out there who cant stand to wait to see "The Beard" here it is,....enjoy!

Today after 28 hours of labor which finally ended in an emergency c-section Brooke Madison entered into this world! Scotts brother Chris and Brittani welcomed little miss Brooke @ about 11:00 this morning! Both baby and mommy are doing great!

Brooke Madison Davis

8lb 10 oz 20 1/2 inches long

she has an "ink beard" here, they had done her hands and feet and didn't wipe her hands before she tried to eat them!

Look at that big girl! so much for being a Florida cheerleader!
shes gonna be a linebacker!
Aunt Tina
and
Uncle Scott

As most of you know Scott is a HUGE Gator Football fan or anything that has to do with college football for that matter. Last year he decided to start a new tradition during the season by not shaving until the Florida Gators lost a game after the crazy loss to Ole Miss! So from Ole Miss on he never broke the razor out! This year he has decided to do the same, and since he started way earlier this year i cant imagine what its going to look like! He asked me to keep up with it in pics so i decided why not make a weekly blog about it! most of you may not care but here is Scott Week One with only a weeks worth of growth! It only gets worse from here!

He even had to go put on a Gator shirt for the pic!

Here's to growing beards!!!

By the way for those of u who don't know-Gators won this week 62-3!!!

(and to all u haters "they played a high school team" a win is a win!!!

So last week i was a total slacker only two meals off my meal plan were actually cooked and scott made one of them. The "Crispy Baked Pesto Chicken" although not very crispy was a hit. Go easy on the pesto though it was a bit overwhelming. The Saucy Baked chops were wonderful but a little dry i think we may have over-cooked them slightly. Hopefully this week we will stick to the meal plan a little better!

Monday-Grilled Hamburgers and Hot dogs

with Mac and cheese and potatoes

This meal was wonderful we had the whole family over for a cookout

Potatoes- Wash peel and cut them into 1 inch pieces

sprinkle with sea salt pepper and garlic powder and bake for 45 mins until tender

YUMMY!

Tuesday- Cheesy One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore w/ crescent rolls

I am definitely going to do this one this week i really want to try this one pot meal! so Easy!!

Even though Scott when he saw the pick said "I'm not eating that with all that green stuff in it!" haha what a nerd! (this is www.Kraft.com )

Wednesday- Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie
Hey why not have two cheeseburger meals in one week?

This seems really easy so we will see if it is as good as it sounds!

www.bettycrocker.com

Thursday- Saucy Pepper Steak w/rice

This is one from last week that we will try to get to this week!

Friday-Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole w/ salad

this is something i have made in the past but forgot about it until i found it again on www.Cambellkitchen.com again! its so good because u can mix and match some veggies in it for those picky eaters (uh hmm Scott)

Saturday we will more then likely eat out with Jayden Shes coming to visit this weekend Friday though Sunday!! yay! we always have a blast! Her mommy and Heevi (Levi) are going to Athens to watch GA play (yuck who knows why,..Go Gators!)

Happy Cooking everyone!!

I actually think this is supposed to be a Sunday thing but hey I'm only one day late! I will try to make these four meals this week but who knows if ill have to work late or not so maybe i can talk Scott into cooking one of them!

Monday- Crispy Baked Pesto chicken

w/ garlic mashed pots and green beans

This is so easy it only has four ingredients can it get better then that?

Tuesday- Saucy Baked Chops

w/ white rice and broccoli (which Scott wont be eating)

We have Chops a lot but i always do the same thing to them (Lawry's steak and chop marinade which is divine) but i wanted to try something different

Wednesday- Cheesy One-Pot Chicken Cacciatore

with crescent rolls

This looked really good and i am all about things in one pot because i hate doing dishes!!!

Thursday-Saucy Pepper Steak

with white rice

I have to admit i have never made pepper steak ( i actually had to look up what cut to buy) so we will see how this turns out. It actually is a healthy-wise recipe made with brown rice but again my picky husband wont eat brown rice so i have to use white!

Friday we are going to The West Nassau game so i think ill have a hot dog and nachos! yum!

All of these recipes came from www.kraft.com I have been trying to come up with new things to cook so i went on the site and they have soo many good recipes check it out!!

HAPPY COOKING!

While at the lake last week we had a need for two more cakes! The first being my little cousins Billy and Louis birthday. They really didn't have a theme for their party so we decided to copy the napkin from the party supplies! Mandy and I both worked on this cake and i believe my brother may have helped a little also. I thought it turned out pretty cute for our first attempt @ fondant,...

its a little uneven but the oven was horrible!!!!!
The next cake was my own birthday! The last full day we were there we had a little cookout with some friends of ours the Smith's . I decided i wanted to make my own cake out of the 2009 Wilton Year Book! This cake took forever i had to bake 5 different times! and then all the icing colors and fondant colors it was crazy. It was a lot of fun and i think it turned out very cute! i would like to make this cake again. (you learn a lot after making a cake for the first time!!) so here it is,....oh yeah we didn't have any candles so i rolled one out of fondant,...

Today Griffin went to his hair appointment @ 2:00! i couldn't help but share how cute he looks! He wasn't very happy and it took them FOREVER. (unless you have all day don't go to Pet Stop) They did an awesome job though! Here are a few pics of him! And Carrie I'm that mom and i only have dogs so don't feel bad!

Isn't he cute!!

Don't know if anyone has seen this but it is sooooo funny! i have watched it like three times! My mom would have killed me but i wish i would have thought of it!

Hope u enjoy!!

Tara Mandy and I finished up cake class tonight feeling ready to,...well take another class. It was so much fun but i do believe we have a lot more to learn! I'm ready to sign up for 2 and 3 and soooo ready to take Fondant and Gum paste classes! This first pic in of my cupcakes that i never posted about They look better in person but notice the creepy clown in the middle,..it was Scott's favorite!!

This is the final cake that we made this afternoon. It pretty much included all the techniques we had learned into one cake. Im just glad i almost mastered the rose! I think im just going to start buying pre-made roses (they are more then annoying)

I feel like we all did pretty good. (even the lady said so,..even if she was a little bossy and rude) Here are my roses up close! Pretty good if i do say so myself!

Now go make a cake,....

Since i posted a blog about my babies! Its not much but i do have a couple of pics! Don't they look so cute,....

look close and you can see Scott's hand sticking out the side,..this is what i saw after my shower sat morning! i guess Scott was so tired he didn't care that Griffin was sleeping on top of him!! Shanae was probably chewing on something under the bed!

Ill have more pics of them after the lake in two weeks! i know u cant wait!!!!

Tara Libby called me a few weeks ago and asked me to take a Wilton cake decorating class with her at Michaels @ the airport. Those of you who know me well know this didn't take a lot of convincing. I love anything crafty and had been wanting to do this for a while! Today was our second class and we actually decorated a cake! nothing too fancy just some simple technique to get us started! We are having so much fun and i cant wait to see how we improve over the next couple of weeks! here are two pics of my very first cake! don't look too close its not perfect!!

hehe hope this inspires someone else to just try it! It really is a lot of fun! hopefully there will be better cakes to come! i guess you have to start somewhere,...

Well let me first start this off by saying this was her then,....

and this is her now,...2 whole years later!!
Jayden decided to grow up really fast on us and turn 2 the 21st of June! I'm a little late posting this but i actually just plain forgot! I cant believe she is two it seems just yesterday i was holding her in the hospital telling her i was going to spoil her rotten! (oh how i have succeeded) She is such a beautiful smart child that has uncle "cotty" wrapped around her finger! Shes doing such funny things these days and i really just cant get enough! Walking in target the other day she told everyone she passed that " i pee pee in potty and dis my pongun" (which translates penguin) too funny! Last week was her moms (summer) b-day! i had her for the day so we decided to make choco covered "tallberries" she had so much fun and here are a few pics,....

From previous post you know i am a huge fan of bakerella's blog and the cool things she makes! So this 4th of July (by the way Happy 4th everyone!) i decided to try my hand @ cake pops! they were a lot of work but i enjoyed every min of it! I made it with a box cake but she does sometimes make hers with a homemade cake. these were supposed to look like cupcakes but im not sure if i achieved that or not! here are a few pics!

this is my baked 9x13 cake after being put in a food processor and mixed with a can of icing and rolled into balls. now time for the freezer for 15 mins!

put one end through a flower cookie cutter to make the bottom and dip in into chocolate. put in the stick before the chocolate drys! i know this sounds like common sense but i did a few and waited to put in the stick ughhh yeah those went in the trash!

Scott and I celebrated our First Anniversary last Sunday on the 28th!(i know im late) I cant believe its been a year already! I love him so much and the love seems to be growing each and every day! He is the best husband i could have ever asked for and God has blessed us so much! we decided we wanted to do something we had never done together so we went to Sea World and Busch Gardens. This post contains a lot of pics so sorry ahead of time.

well this is the topper of our cake that we took one nasty bite from. It was horrible but it still looked cute after a year!
and here is Shamu! (one of the 20) Sea World yay!
