Summer in a Glass

I have been super busy lately! Brian and I are remodeling/renovating the back yard. It's exhausting really. So after loading 121 (Oh yes, I kept count) pavers into my car I need something to drink.


Not just any drink. I needed alcohol. Not just alcohol, I needed summer in a glass. Are you starting to see a pattern here?


I have an alcohol shelf in my fridge. Don't judge. I'm still 22, I'm allowed these things. This summer cocktail started off with me rummaging around the shelf and ended with a sigh and imagining I was on a beach somewhere, or at least somewhere it was bright enough for a large sunhat while wearing a swimsuit.


This is pretty easy to make. Start with slicing some lime and grab a couple shots of vodka.



Now grab some dear friends of mine. Club Soda and CranApple. Essential for any fridge.


Lastly, pour some drinks and garnish with a lime. I would have used an umbrella if I had one. You should have one. Put it in there and call it a night!




Ingredients:
2 shots alcohol (I used vodka. You can use 3 shots but more than that you may start to taste it more and more)
Club Soda
CranApple
3 Limes

This is not a very exact recipe.
Slice 3-4 limes. Fill a pitcher 1/4 with ice. Add you're shots. Fill just over half with club soda then the rest of the way with CranApple. Squeeze your lime and drop in the pitcher. Pour into glasses and garnish with lime. To make placing lime on rim easier slice wedge with knife and slide on glass.
Makes 8-10 servings and keeps for a week in the fridge.

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.

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...

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 ...
