New Gadget

I love new gadgets. We here at the Tussing household have many gadgets. Let's name a few shall we?

1 HD TV
1 iMac
1 Xbox
1 Extra PC Screen
1 Macbook Pro
1 Canon T3
1 HD DVR
1 Wireless Printer
1 iPod
2 iPads
2 iPhones

Do you think we have too many? I do. Technology is a blessing and a curse for us. We love having it and always crave the lastest and greatest. However, we have learned over the years that they can quickly take priority in your house if you let it.

This is why we have a rule in our house. When you get home the phones get put away and unless both of us are feeling ok with it can you take out an electronic device to play/email/blog on. It helps both the hubby and I stay on track with each other. We don't want to let technology get in the way of being with each other. Does this happen to any one else?

After this long rant, Brian's Macbook Pro has been slowly falling apart. Just a little a while the screen actually fell off backwards.

So, the next day we made the treck down to the Apple store for a brand new Macbook Pro.

He is so excited to open it.


Everything looks prettier new in the box.

It stayed this shiny and pretty for exactly 2 minutes. That's when the dogs came in and thought the screen was too clean.

I've had way to much fun pushing the new fancy buttons since they changed from our previous model.

I'm just glad that we were able to give Brian a new computer. He very much deserved it.

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 ...
