First Sign of Spring

In Arizona, we don't really have a spring season. We have summer, less summer, and winter. My husband is a huge baseball fan so we went to the first spring training game of the Arizona Diamond backs.

I'm not sure how many of you have ever been to a spring training game. I hadn't before Sunday. The arena, auditorium, ballpark (note to self: it's a ballpark) that I went to had a lawn. Basically, a giant grass area that everyone sits on and watches the game. Visual seems needed here. This is what you see.

You must think we are crazy right? Hot weather, not so great food. But, we are not the crazy people. We are just one of the many crazy people.

I consider myself a fairly reasonable person. I endured this hot weather and not so great food for the sake of marriage, for the sake of my husband putting up with my girly movies and silly shows. Then... disaster struck. This popped up on the jumbo tron.

So we waited. And waited. Then they started playing old highlights on the jumbo tron. We waited more. Even the players waited.

But we eventually found out why we waited so long.

So after sitting in the hot sun for over 2 hours and seeing less than 2 innings, my hubby understood that I was slowly cooking from the inside out and turning a pretty shade of red. He was sweet enough to let us go home. I feel bad, I didn't even manage to snap a picture of the two of us looking cute at the game. Brian has promised to take me to a night game and I'll enjoy it much more PLUS I will snap a picture of us in our matching Diamondback shirts being "that" couple.

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 ...
