You know you do it...

Lick the bowl! Jackson and I had a great time being obnoxious. Yum.

Peace goes to Prom

That's what Jackson calls my little sister, his Aunt. Her name is Tiffany. I have no idea where peace came from. But it will always stick.

Saturday was her senior prom. sigh. I remember her as a little chubby baby. Changed a few of her diapers. Got mad that I had to share a room with her. Painted her toenails. Still do that last one. She is beautiful, don't cha think?? Her boyfriend David thinks so for sure.

Birth Verse

I thought this was neat.

I have conquered the pot roast

Since being married ( almost 8 years people! ) I have tried every imaginable recipe for a good "meat and taters" type pot roast. It's the kinda guy Jason is. And they have always turned out dry, chewy, grey, and just gross. No matter what. Even with Pioneer Woman's help. Bad. My neighbor told me about the roast she makes that is "to die for". Okay whatever. Roast, green beans, and- fajita seasoning. The really cheap brand that comes in a huge container for $1.99. The kind your husband would grab if you told him to stop by the store and pick up some fajita seasoning...and you would say "not THIS brand". That's the one.



Place in roast in pan ( the old fashioned oval roast pan with a lid ), sprinkle the roast with fajita seasoning ( generously ), dump in 4 cans of green beans, add enough water to cover roast and cook covered in 350 oven 1 hour per pound of meat.



Perfection! Jason asked for me to make this again, and this rarely occurs. He will either wolf it down to feel full and avoid really tasting it, or he will heap his plate with all the side dishes. The meat just fell apart and was so juicy and tender. I added some red potatoes and carrots in the pan and they were just right too. Even Jackson ate it, and Cooper deemed it gummable. This is big news people!



I know this is a really boring post, but that's how good this was. Blog worthy.

Time with Nanny & Papa

The boys love spending time with their Great-Grandparents. To Jackson they are one entity: Nannypapa

Lavender Loving Bees

These little guys are almost impossible to take a picture of!

Goodbye white walls!

And good riddance! Tomorrow at 9 am these dingy dirty boring walls will be be getting a long overdue face lift. And yes, the hideous window treatments and plastic miniblinds are leaving too...

I realize to many people that beige is very closely related to boring, but I just couldn't see a huge wall of color that goes all the way to the roof line. Am I right or am I boring?

I thought so.

Sweet Berry Farms

What a great day we had! The boys, Peace ( Aunt Tiffany ) and I all spent the day picking and eating and eating and picking strawberries. Jason was out of town for the weekend, so Tiffany want along to help out and hang with her nephews. She and I went about 4 years ago to pick blackberries. We made absolute pigs of ourselves. We still laugh about our blue teeth and tummy aches. We told ourselves that we would do it every spring, but after becoming pregnant with Jackson that fall, well, we never got around to it... It was fun to do it all over again with two little munchkins running around!

Easter Page

Here's a page I did for Easter- Cooper was cracking us up with his methodical egg hunting system. He is very detail oriented!
