Catch-Up

So it's been far too long since I've posted. As some of you know the hubby and I just bought a house. It's beautiful.
There is so much to share. Let's just start with news on the house. We have been looking since January. We found this one on the first day we starting looking, it was a short sale which for the record, should be called long frustrating sale. It only took a week to get unpacked! Craziness right? Well the first weekend in we had a house party, that's great motivation to get unpacked. I have my favorite place in the entire house. The window seat in our bedroom :)
You can see the puppy on our bed. We feel that he ties the whole room together.

I have other exciting news! We got a new puppy! His name is Apollo, for those who forgot the dog in the picture above is Achilles. So now we have a dog named after the Greek god of war and a dog named after one of the great Greek warriors. I have a thing for Greek mythology if it wasn't apparent there. Here is all of us on one our first nights together.
Then here is Achilles and Apollo playing together. Soon Apollo will be bigger than Achilles. Apollo is a pure bred lab and Achilles is a lab and collie mix.

TTFN!

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...
