Easter 2010

2010-04-06T14:15:00.000-07:00

Its been a really long time since i have posted anything on my blog but i have to say my cake business has been keeping me very very busy! so i decided today i would just post a cute little Easter pic of my husband and I! I loved our orange and pink matching Easter outfits! Even though while shopping for these adorable outfits Scott proceeded to tell me that "Jesus doesn't care what we look like on Easter" oh how much he has to learn! Jesus may not care but your wife does so shut-it and pick a shirt! and oh what a steal,...his shirt was $12 and my dress was $15! Thank you Jesus for Old Navy sales! Just turn your head to the side to see it because for the life of me i cant get it turned around!!! ugh!!!

Happy Birthday Katelyn!

2010-02-08T05:54:00.000-08:00

Katelyn turns 25 today! (which Scott calls your half way to 50 day) Just wanted to post a little something to say Happy birthday!

Wish you were here so we could celebrate it together!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

don't you love this really old pic of us! look at my long hair!

This is the one and only pic i have from my bach party!

Enjoy your day!!!

Course Two Cake

2010-01-31T12:24:00.001-08:00

Friday night Tara and i decided to get together for a little cake decorating! As i stated in an earlier post i was not able to finish my Wilton Course 2 classes because of being sick so i asked Tara to teach me what i missed! We had so much fun but boy did i miss a lot! We were up til almost midnight basket weaving and making flowers! Thank you so much Tara for all you help! You were the best teacher ever! Here's the finished project!

Last month Tara and I took a gum paste flower class. I think we both decided that gum paste flowers may not be fore us but it was a lot of fun! The flowers just take a lot of time and money to make, so if u want one of theses from us you better be willing to pay!!! haha

Orchid with small filler flowers and leaves!

Hibiscus (took forever!!!)

I'm starting Course 3 Tuesday so more to come!!

Happy Birthday Morgan!

2010-01-18T10:20:00.000-08:00

After being sick for a few weeks and even making two trips to the hospital with a short stay i had gotten out of cake decorating. Tara had been doing so well and i have to admit i was a little jealous about how good her cakes were looking! They were SO good and i wanted back in it! I decided to sign up for the next class with Tara which started two weeks ago! we are having a blast as always!

I was given the chance to make Morgans Smiths 21st birthday cake and i was so excited! That is until she told me she wanted black and hot pink! Black really? Black is really hard to make so i just decided to cheat and buy black fondant from the store! The cake turned out so cute and everyone loved it! One girl even asked me for my card! I don't think I'm quite ready to give out my card but hopefully soon! If anyone is interested let me know!! here's the cake,..

i actually made the zebra print,..black and white fondant!
Happy Birthday Morgan! Hope your Birthday was the best it could be!

its been forever!!! but Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T11:09:00.000-08:00

So I'm not sure how long its been since my last post but i know it has been forever!!!! I have many many many post to backtrack with but those will come on another day,..(i hope) I decided to copy a few people and do a New Years post for my fist one back.

I have always enjoyed making New Years resolutions but have also enjoyed not keeping many of them (losing weight). Scott and I decided this year we were gonna make lots of them that way at least one or two could be kept! so here is a list of mine and maybe ill include a few he came up with also!

-lose weight really I'm gonna do it this year (we are going on a cruise,..i refuse to be the "heavy girl") Scott was at the opposite side here,..he wants to gain 50 lbs! (ughh if only we all had this problem!!)

- Love my husband more and learn to be nicer and a more understanding wife!

-Build a stronger relationship with our Lord

-Find my husband a job that quits laying him off (this one was agreed by both)

-make a trip to Atlanta to see Katelyn and Josh we miss them so much!

-keep my house clean at least one day a week!

and last but not least

-(this one will make my parents very happy) Get Prego! we would love to have a baby some time next year so this is the year to make that happen! so maybe this time next year i will be posting on how baby Davis is growing! (and just for the record Scott agrees with this also!)

These are the only ones i can think of right now but if i come up with more ill post them later!

Happy New Year everyone!!

I hope everyone is blessed beyond measure in 2010!

"Wordless Wednesday"

2009-09-30T16:56:00.001-07:00

This is everyday!!!

Week Four!

2009-09-30T16:45:00.000-07:00

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!!!

My first Jags game!

2009-09-21T18:14:00.001-07:00

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!

Celebrating 15 years in jax, they had some of the past cheerleaders come back to do a little dance, they went all the way back to 95 and they were actually pretty good!

the awesome flag,...

Scott said the awesome cheerleaders!

the whole place! we were pretty high but had a good view!

i had to put in this pic because this poor child who i assume was around 4-6 months was heating to death! and to cool her off do u know what they did?...Gave her a bottle filled with water and COVERED her with a BLANKET!! its 100 outside! take the poor child home! sorry just had to throw this nonsense out there! geeez

Week Three

2009-09-21T18:05:00.000-07:00

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!!

Week Two

2009-09-16T05:27:00.002-07:00

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!

Aunt Tina and Uncle Scott

2009-09-10T15:19:00.000-07:00

Love you guys and Happy Birthday Brooke Madison Davis!!!

Go Gators!!!

2009-09-07T17:44:00.000-07:00

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!!!

Menu Plan 9/7

2009-09-07T17:25:00.000-07:00

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!

www.Kraft.com

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!!

Meal Plan

2009-08-31T11:48:00.000-07:00

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!

Happy Birthday to me,...

2009-08-13T17:44:00.000-07:00

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,...

more pics from the lake to come,....

Hair Appointments,...

2009-07-31T18:37:00.000-07:00

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!!

Shanae just couldn't help but be in the pic. she had her toes done and the lady tried to put bows in her hair but she was having none of that!!!

By the way i leave on vacation for 8 days sat so no post until we get back!!

Happy Friday!

Still laughing,....

2009-07-27T13:15:00.001-07:00

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!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0

Hope u enjoy!!

Cake Boss are u hiring?

2009-07-20T17:10:00.000-07:00

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,....

Its been a while,..

2009-07-20T17:01:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

Cake #1

2009-07-13T18:46:00.000-07:00

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,...

Happy Birthday Summer and Jayden

2009-07-13T18:18:00.000-07:00

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,....

this is when she realized "mm dat good"

She was so into it! i really didn't think she would be this good. she did mostly everything by herself.

Happy Birthday Mommy! Summer i hope u enjoyed and didn't share with anyone!!!
Happy Birthday Jay aunt Tina Loves you soooo much!!

Bakerella!

2009-07-05T15:09:00.000-07:00

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!

this is them drying after the tops being dipped in white choco and with sprinkles!

arnt they sooo cute! i made a little bouquet out of them and made them my centerpiece for our cookout! everyone loved them and they were sooo good to eat. Happy 4th everyone hope it was wonderful!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

2009-07-05T14:25:00.000-07:00

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!

Scott looking like its not even hotttt and me sweating like a pig! those of u who know me know that my bangs are back because i would totally have sweaty bangs if not!!!

Manta!! the coolest roller coaster i have rode in a long time!! you ride it laying down! weird!!!

our anniversary dinner-Dine With Shamu it was actually really neat we ate a wonderful buffet and watched a few whales swim around and then got our own private show afterwards!

awesome!!

fireworks from our hotel room!

this is Busch Gardens during the few non raining moments. That lion was sooo close!! doesn't Scott look scared!!! i wouldn't even get in!

Shiekra wow! it goes straight down!! which was closed most of the day because of horrible storms!

this is our sad face because we were totally soaked and mad about the rain!!!

We still had a good time but the rain almost ruined the whole day!! Our anniversary was wonderful but i cant wait until next year, we just booked a 7 day cruise on the Oasis (royals new boat which comes out in dec!!! sooooo excited!)

Edible Homemade Cake

2009-06-22T14:23:00.000-07:00

Last night for some reason i had the urge to make a homemade chocolate cake. Now let me point out i wanted to make a red velvet or carrot to which my husband replied "yuck I'm not gonna eat that" so rather then eat a whole cake myself i decided to make something my husband would eat! I looked up some different recipes and finally decided on a yellow cake recipe from a blog called Bakerella. (www.bakerella.blogspot.com check her out she does awesome things!!!) She had recently posted this cake recipe and it looked really good! I made three layers and then found a simple chocolate frosting recipe on another website (which i cant seem to remember so sorry whoever came up with this and is getting no recognition cause its sooo good) i couldn't stop licking my fingers!!!! I noticed while taking the pics that its a little lopsided but since this is My first homemade cake that is edible I'm o.k. with that! i just love how big it is! Enjoy!

yummy doesn't it look sooo good!
Moist Yellow Cake

1 cup butter/ 2 sticks (room temp)

2 cups sugar

4 large eggs (room temp)

3 cups sifted self rising flour

1 cup whole milk (room temp)

1 teas vanilla extract

1/2 teas butter flavor (i couldn't find this so good luck!)

Preheat to 350

Grease and flour three 8 or 9" cake pans

Using mixer cream butter until fluffy

add sugar and cream for 7 mins (thank goodness for kitchen aid mixer)

add eggs one at a time and beat well after each one

Add flour and milk alternately to butter mixture beg and end with flour

add vanilla and the impossible to find butter flavor

Put batter into pans and bake 25-30 mins (mine took the entire 30 mins)

cool in pans for 5-10 mins then take out and wrap in plastic wrap and cool completely

this keeps cake moist!

Choco Frosting

2 and 3/4 cups powdered sugar

6 tablespoons unsweet cocoa powder

6 tablespoons butter (room temp)

5 tablespoons evap milk

1 teas vanilla extract

Sift together sugar and cocoa

Cream butter until smooth

Gradually beat in sugar mixture alternating with evap milk

Blend in vanilla

Beat until creamy and smooth (u can adjust consistency with sugar or milk but i didn't need to)

FROST CAKE!!!

This turned out great but i had to double the recipe to be able to cover the whole cake but i did have quite a bit left over so u might wanna just do one and a half!! Let me know if anyone try it!!

Wordless Wednesday

2009-06-17T18:09:00.000-07:00

OUCH!!

2009-06-16T17:53:00.000-07:00

Today i did something i have wanted to do for a long time!! I am normally a HUGE CHICKEN so i have been scared to do it forever! 4 friends and i drove all the way to 5 points to Caribbean Connection to get my NOSE PIERCED!! I was soo scared when i sat down in the chair. I was shaking and sweating uncontrollably! In the end it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be!! Don't get me wrong it hurt but it wasn't the cry out loud hurt i thought it would be! enjoy a few funny pics of me and a few of my friends getting things done also!!

this was my support system!! (morgan holding my hand)
Me before (laughing because i was ready to throw up!)

Loris favorite pic,
me breathing out! lol

and here it is! not a great pic so u will all just have to see it in person!

Jusquita (justine) getting her lip pierced, she bled like a stuck pig!! yuck!

morgan getting her naval pierced

and last but not least Brittany getting her children's monogram on her foot,

very cute Chris did a great job.

u scream i scream we all scream for ICE CREAM!

2009-06-15T06:27:00.000-07:00

Last night walking through my favorite store (target) i decided i needed an Ice cream maker. i didn't want to spend a lot so i went with a rival 24.99 model! Cheap but advertised this machine was easy, and easy it was. Scott doesn't eat ice Cream, nor any other dairy product for that matter, so he wanted nothing to do with it. That is until the churning was making it hard to hear his star wars game! haha anyway i made blueberry flavored that started with a mix. It was actually very easy all i had to do was take the mix stir in the milk, pureed blueberries, and lemon juice and pour it in the maker. It was soo good i took it to burger king for a few people to eat and they all seemed to love it! Mrs Janice said she had one comment! BUTTER PECAN! so maybe that will be my next flavor. i just loved how purple it looked it was really beautiful.

Growing @ the Davis'

2009-06-15T06:12:00.000-07:00

Scott ,who always pokes fun at "my little blog", asked me to post on his tomato plant so i decided to just update the progress of all our plants. They all seem to be doing well i just wish they would start producing some veggies! Hopefully soon ill have tomatoes, peppers and flowers to show.

this is Scott's hanging tomato plant that has buds on it so hopefully it will do its thing soon!
this pepper plant had more then tripled in size but not even the starting of a pepper so we will see!

and last here is my Plumeria that is looking awesome but still no flowers!!

Happy Monday!

Orlando Hair Show

2009-06-09T18:24:00.001-07:00

This past weekend we went to Orlando for our annual trip to the Premiere Hair Show! For those of you who don't know what a hair show is, its basically a reason for a bunch of hairdressers to get together and have a great time with a little bit of learning in between! It was awesome other then the RAIN!! every time we would lay by the pool it would be beautiful and sunny and then the black cloud would come! oh well we had a blast anyway! here are a few pics from the weekend!

Scott and I on the deck of Bahama Breeze!!! sooo good! we eat here every year!
The girls waiting on our table @ Margaritaville! very good also!

Happy Birthday Nae Nae

2009-06-01T17:54:00.000-07:00

i know this is so silly but i guess this is what people that dont have kids yet do! MY family and i celebrated Shanae's 1st birthday! All of her cousins and Aunt Maybell came over to help with her big day!!

this is her really mad because i put her birthday shirt on her! It said "its my birthday lets pawty"
homemade p-nut butter dog treats!

Nae Nae opening her gifts!

all her cousins Oscar the big guy, Luca, Griffin (her bother) and Aunt Maybell trying to take a pic with her! this is the best we could get!

Dont laugh it was a lot of fun. The parents ate pizza and cupcakes while the dogs ran and played outside! haha her only regret was that Greta could not join in the fun!

White Trash Birthday

2009-06-01T17:35:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday night West 200's Massage Therapist Lori Scott celebrated her birthday in a very funny way. Lori after many accusations decided to have a "white trash birthday" This was probably the best birthday i have ever been to. Everyone had to dress up in their version of white trash! After long debates of what we should go as scott and i decided on our costumes! i would be pregnant and smoking and scott needs no explaining!! The day consisted of "yard volleyball" , mud-fighting, a water slide and low country boil! People dressed up were sooo funny! one guy had shorts on so short we could almost see his manly hood! thank the good lord he stood most of the night! Hope u enjoy just a few funny pics from the night!

i just hope this isnt a sign of what im gonna look like prego cause this is bad!!!
and here's the b-day girl. her shirt said im not 30 im 29.99 plus tax! too funny!

doesnt get any better then a grape popsicle and a cig! lol j/k i dont smoke but it went with the night! and u can almost see my rose tattoo on my arm in this one! Stephanie's addition to my outfit!

NEW YORK!!

2009-05-27T14:58:00.001-07:00

My mom and i just recently returned from our trip to NEW YORK!! we go every two years with a group of about 10-15 Girls. Its so much fun to just get away for a few days and do a lot of fun stuff mostly shopping! im still tired from all the walking around the city (which we did after seeing 3 rats in one subway station!!!) this first pic is my favorite! this is just mine and my moms purchases from the weekend! (including the best ever strawberry cheesecake from juniors!)

9 to 5 the musical which just came out in April was wonderful!! IT starred 4 of the funniest people i have ever seen in a musical! it was great, if u have the chance to see it you totally should!

Times Square!!

This is Allison Janney the leading actress! also known in the west wing and the mom in Juno! sooo cool to meet her and she was sooo nice! We also saw Mr Big and Tay Diggs walking down the street but didnt want to seem like stalkers so we decided to let them be!

If anyone watches the Real Housewives of New york city this place needs no explanation but here's ZARIN FABRICS!!! does this fabric look familiar? Jill was not working this day nor bobby or her Gay husband! Disappointing but still just as cool to see the place! AWESOME! highlight of the trip~

Carriage ride through Central Park. Beautiful!!Row Boats in Central Park. One of my fav pics from the whole trip!

My mom and I in Tavern On the Green! Beautiful, Exciting, Expensive ($310 for 6 people for Lunch) and the service was horrible! i would eat there again just for the beauty of the place! The food was wonderful which kind of made up for the man that called himself a waiter!

These are just a few highlights from our trip! We had a Blast next time all of your should come! sorry this isn't a wordless wed post! lol and also sorry its so long!

Day 2

2009-05-08T14:48:00.000-07:00

Well day 2 of BBB started today and was muchhhhh better! i made it through the entire class without wanting to die! only downside of today! Body measurements! yuck! more then i needed to know!And to those of you wondering about some projects i had talked about,..still haven't gotten a new sewing machine needle. Getting one tonight!! Happy Friday! Prom tomorrow! pray for me!!

BBB!

2009-05-06T18:07:00.000-07:00

so the day came for me to begin the dreaded BBB! ughhh as expected i thought i would die! @ 10:30 this morning i walked in to Kristine saying "ready to sweat?" ughh not in the mood! Of all weeks for mother nature to visit me she wants to visit this week, so like i said not in the mood! This workout was like nothing i have ever seen in my life! i already did not feel good and this was just the cherry on top! We did running in place, jump roping, lunges, squats, all kinds of shoulder crap, boxer jumps, mountain climbers, and more weight stuff that i don't even care to remember what they were called! My body hurts from my head to my toe! as if two workouts a week wasn't enough for my lazy behind the "homework" adds another three workouts u have to do on your own within the week! what in the world did i get myself into?!!!? if i don't post for a few days know that I'm laying in bed not being able to move!

Broken,..

2009-05-05T12:22:00.000-07:00

Rant of the day!! i broke my last sewing machine needle right in the middle of my pillow project! i have been through two already! i hate these stupid thick edged napkins!!! ughhhh!!!

Napkin Pillows/Flower Power

2009-05-04T17:37:00.000-07:00

As most of you know by now i love anything crafty. Jenni (katelyns sis) told me about an awesome project that we should have thought of ourselves. Place mat and Napkin Pillows! Sew sides together and stuff with fibre fill and your done! Easy Peasy! Here are a few napkins i picked up at World Market today. The best ever store for anything home! My fav is the bottom floral print!! I spent maybe $8 on all of them~

These little cuties are from www.Kaboose.com they are made from tissue paper and pipe cleaners! i haven't totally mastered it but would be fun for any kid or the kid @ heart! I like the one by itself better, still working on the bouquet....
by the way isnt the color of my kitchen awesome!!!

Happy Monday! back to work tomorrow! yuck!

Shrimp, Shrimp, Shrimp!

2009-05-02T16:26:00.000-07:00

Today mom, dad, Scott and I decided to go and do a little shopping and eating @ the annual Shrimp Festival in Fernandina. (which i love dearly and to which my husband says every year he will never go to again. This is his third year going!) I love to browse down every street and find what treasures and even some trash that people are selling. I also love to see what wonderful interesting people we can run into. (and what crazy outfit they may be wearing!!) This year was HOTTTT! i don't ever remember it being 102 but i swear it was! but we just fought the heat with ice cream and frozen lemonade! (mine was a double scoop of Superman which gave me the bright blue tongue I'm still sporting) Last October my mom , sis-in-law, and I went to the Christmas made in the south show and found cool framed pics of odd things that spelled out your name! We also were very disappointed to find that it was almost $20 a letter and being i have 5 letters now i decided that was too steep! Oh was i sooo very excited when i walked up upon my first purchase this Davis framed Art which i picked from many many many letters! it took me like 15 mins to pick which d i wanted, there were like 20. After my hard work the old lady i payed said it was the best one all weekend! thank you!! haha but i love it and the best part! only $8 a letter! much better!!!

next is the cutie thing that hangs outside in "scotts yard!" i love it so much! I'm not sure of the purpose is but it jingles and i love it dearly!
and for those who know we are trying not to crate our dear children anymore,....this is what we came home to today after being @ the festival! this ripped up mag would be one that has been sitting under my coffee table for about 3 months and they just decided to do this today!

and here is Griffins butt running from daddy because he knows hes in trouble!!

Happy Saturday!

Wordless Wednesday!

2009-04-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

BBB!

2009-04-28T17:05:00.001-07:00

As most of us know (some more then others) Marriage brings many things! one of them being pounds! I'm talking make my butt look huge pounds! I knew this all along but on my latest venture to the beach i realized it 1st hand! My suit which fit perfect on my honeymoon less then a yr ago didn't even come close to covering my behind! Well wouldn't u know the next day i decided to start going back to the Gym!! I hate to work out o.k. more then anything! My wonderful friend Krystie Mizell talked me into doing a training session called BBB! (Beach Body Boot camp) Well, i said no but somehow i am now signed up payed up and i start next wed! ughhh! Its a 6 week training with two workouts a week with a trainer and "homework" workouts in between! Did she say homework? I thought i was finished with that 6 yrs ago! They also do weekly weigh-ins and body measurements oh how I'm looking forward to both of those things! Although these initial measurements will be kept a secret i will be sharing my progress! So being this wonderful "fun" workout starts next week i decided i better start doing something so i don't die next week! Tonight i decided to take a ZUMBA class! i was scared but when i found out it was based on dancing , some being Latin i was very excited! It was a BLAST!! so much fun and brought back so many dance moves!! Anyone who has the chance to try Zumba really should! it was probably the hardest thing i have ever done but oh was it fun!! So let the shedding of Pounds begin! Although because i worked so hard tonight at the gym i decided to have a p-nut butter filled bunny when i got home! lol So i will be sure to keep everyone informed on how BBB is going! lol Happy Tuesday!

non-wordless wed!

2009-04-22T17:22:00.000-07:00

Well i know its wed but mine is not going to be wordless! maybe next week!

I had to work today so this is as far as my next sewing project has gotten! As i was cutting it out i realized this dress had pleats! GREAT i have never done pleats! again we shall see,...after cutting the above out i realized we had NO clean laundry! those of u who know me know i hate washing clothes!!! HATE HATE HATE IT!!! but when it piles this high the time has come! so for the rest of the night this is what i will be doing and prob tomorrow night also! i know i know those of u with children right now are saying "wait till u have a child!"

Katelyn and i strolled into starke last weekend (on our way to Gainsville Go Gators!) for the strawberry festival as some know from my previous post about strawberries but i also purchased two plant items (well one plant and a stick!) This first one is a pitcher plant. i thought it was the coolest thing because it east bugs! anything that eats bugs is # 1 in my book! anyone have one? because I'm sure ill kill it w/o help!

This stick like thing that i have yet to plant is a Plumeria Starter stick (in Katelyn's words) They get rather large and grow beautiful flowers! First step needs to be actually planting it but my lack of potting soil is hindering that! hopefully next time i post about this it will be HUGE! ha ha yeah right! hopefully my Green thumb kicks in soon!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

The Many Sewing Adventures

2009-04-21T16:33:00.000-07:00

After cooking dinner tonight i decided to sit down and finish the cutest sewing project ever~ i love this dress! i will use the pattern again! im thinking i may do a star/stripe fabric for 4th of July if it looks cute on her! hopefully i will get her this weekend and i will post a pic of her in it!

This next pic is my next sewing adventure!

I have yet to sew anything that was wearable on my own body so if u never see this finished project know that i have failed again! lol! this fabric is not my favorite but it was decently cute and i didnt want to spend a lot on it until i knew it would turn out o.k.! this fabric was a cheap $2
a yard and this pattern requires almost 4 yrds so we shall see!

monday, Monday, MONDAY!

2009-04-20T15:26:00.000-07:00

so its monday! my favorite day of the whole week because its all mine! my hubby went back to work today after 6 weeks of being off so it finally was my monday again! i actually acomplished many things today! I went to Lifeway, Joanns and Walmart to buy groceries in the morning and then started on my next sewing adventure! a dress for Jayden! Much to my suprise this dress required bias tape! who knows? i followed the directions as best i could and i think it turned out o.k.! i still ahve to sew on the straps and the bottom piece but here is a peek! the pattern is New Look 6796! oh yeah and the other pic is of the babies today! just had to throw them in!

HORRIBLE PRODUCE!

2009-04-19T17:03:00.001-07:00

This is Mold Growing on my 2 day old strawberries!! ughhhh!!!

O.k. i guess i shouldnt start my first real entry with a rant but im going to because this makes me beyond mad! When i pay good hard earned money for things i do not want them to look like this!! Katelyn and I went to the Strawberyy festival in Starke this weekend and both were very excited to buy strawberries! After coming home and starting to clean them i realized that over half of them were NASTY!! i picked up a few and my fingers went right through them! YUCK! PUKE! I saved a few but very annoyed! maybe tomorrow ill have a more joyful post!

2009-04-18T19:57:00.000-07:00

Katelyn Talked me into this blogging garbage, so here goes~
