Weekend Shenanigans

Hello Friends!

Sorry, I haven't been able to blog lately. I haven't really been home since this past Thursday. Tonight is the first night I have been back at my desk, blogging.

What have I been doing? Let me give you the run down.

Thursday: My best friend and her husband come over for dinner. My husband and her husband had to work together on Friday so we decided to spend the night at there house because it was closer to the job. Spent the night!

Friday: I went to work and then came back to there house. We went and picked up her step daughter from Toledo. Came home and baked a cake, wrote on the sidewalk with chalk, rode bikes, played basketball and colored-while the guys were still at work. The men didn't get home from work till 9p.m.  Spent the night!

Saturday: My friend had school on Saturday so I woke up and took Haley-my friends daughter to Mcdonalds and I had to pick up my school books from the college. Then we went to Belle-Tire. After that, we watched Epic and then I got my tattoo worked on.

Then we went home!!

Sunday: We went to church then back to our friends house for dinner with all of there family. Then home. It feels good to be home.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!!

Owls Owls Owls

My obsession! I have always loved owls, I thought they were cute. But O MY OWL!!!! Lately, I have been on owl overload. Including this cute little guy I bought for my fall decorating ideas! Pier One has so many owl decorations out for Autumn right now that I literally whore out the words Awe, that's so cute, and o my owl. Ill be buying something from there every week. Wings down!!

 

What better way than to mix my two favorite things. Owls and cupcakes!!

 

I will probably print something like this off to hang around my house at some point. Yea, I'm that obsessive!

I totally cant wait till I come across some more adorable owl things. I even asked my husband if I could get one for a pet. He said that's a bit psychotic extreme.

 

 

Fall Is Near!!

I don't know how the weather has been in your area, but in our neck of the woods we have been having chilly mornings and cool days with nice breezes.

This is my favorite time of year-when everything goes back to normal. School is starting, fall is coming and so are the holidays! I am so excited to decorate for Halloween, Thanksgiving/Fall, and Christmas!!

I picked this beauty up at Pier One Imports today for $11!! Score!

How cute is this owl! I am obsessed with everything owl; there is so much more cute Fall décor at Pier One that I will most definitely be going back to stock up!

In other Fall news, I have started stocking up on my Fall wardrobe! Bring on the leggings and baggy sweaters with fricken adorable boots!!

Target has leggings on sale for $10 right now! Score!!!

Im also thinking about Halloween costumes for me and the hubby. Ideas include: Oreos & Milk, a Hunter & a deer or the ones that we will most likely be doing....MINIONS!!!

Bring on the festivities!!

Recipe Page

I love to cook! My husband loves that I cook, because I really get into new and tricky dishes. He isn't eating the same thing every week.

I have decided to document the fun and delicious recipes that I have tried. I like to eat really healthy so I will be adding a lot of healthy dinner recipes as well as some not so healthy dinner recipes. =)

Along with the dinner recipes with come smoothie recipes. I am a firm believer in smoothies. They are healthy, delicious, and quick. You can even freeze the mix into cubes and its ready for the next day.

So lets get cooking!! =)

Weekend update!

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was a mix of good and bad. This weekend my husband and I got to relax! Saturday we did nothing but sit on the couch and watch Disney movies. Uneven made a quick dinner-Taco Salad. Yum!! 

I make the best taco salad-I use Doritos!! 

This was the highlight of my weekend, I love cuddle one on one time with my babe and we don't get it very often, unfortunately. 

The bad part of my weekend was horribly tragic. One of our cats had a litter of kittens a few weeks ago and we brought them in the house because the mama was being a bad mommy. She wouldn't feed them or pee them or poop them. That meant we had to buy kitten formula and bottle feed them ourselves. Which sounds great and it is, but it gets tiring after awhile.  

Anyway, we're dog sitting my sister in laws bitch. Literally. She is a boxer and I really can't stand her. 

While we were at church, she decided to slaughter 3 of the poor kittens. Don't know how she got to them, but she did. 

She got her ass beat. Luckily not by me or she wouldn't be here. We were hoping that her ass kicking would deter her from chasing or going after them or the other cats again, NOPE! Dumbass dog!! She snapped at one this morning while he was in my hands! 

The worst part of all this is that she is my nieces dog, but 2 of my nieces want kittens. Not only can they definitely not have any cats now, there dog masa cured the ones my nieces wanted. 

How we supposed to explain that to 3 children under 10?? 

So there was some heavy death in the air Sunday. It was extremely sad to think about what those poor kittens went through. :( 

Hopefully my next post will be cheerful and lighthearted. 

What country people do when there board

We ride four wheelers at 11 o'clock at night through the fields. 

Honestly, its kind of scary because you never know what your going to run into. 

But it's still fun. 

The main view! 

Oh what fun it is to ride on a four wheeler at night! (Sung to the tune of "O what fun")

New Ink!!

Iv been wanting to get some fresh ink for a long time. It's been 4 years since my last and first tattoo.

Luckily we have amazing friends who happen to be tattoo artist so they hooked us up!! 

This was my original tattoo 4 years ago. It's not very exciting or extravagant. I knew I wanted strength on my wrist but that's about all I knew. Soooo, I wrote it out myself and she inked it. 

I like it because it was my first, I may get it touched up eventually but for now, I would rather get new ones. 

Thanks to Pinterest, I found one about a year ago that I fell in love with!! I just never got it. Honestly, I was scared to get another one because I didn't remember how my first one felt. 

I decided I would get another one, but it would have to be on a wim. If I thought about it or planned it, I wouldn't go through with it.

Well my friend hit me up yesterday and was like, yal want some ink?? Of course I did! On a wim! And bam-they were on there way over.

My first tattoo (wasn't planning on getting 2) was on my other wrist. I wanted love written in a heart 

So Ta-Da, took 15 minutes and it didn't hurt at all. I felt like such an idiot for being so nervous! 

After mine was done, my husband got his wedding ring tattoo since his real ring got outgrown.

What a darling husband getting his woman's initials. Apparently finger tattoos wear off easily so he will most likely get it touched up or changed eventually. 

My next one was the one I have always wanted, it was bigger and I got the small one to make sure I could handle it. Aced it!

This one isn't finished yet, because there is a lot of detail and shading and color that has to be added. But we got the basic outline done and will add to it once it heals in a few weeks. This one I thought would hurt because its closer to the bone and all, but it didn't-at all!! It actually felt quite nice, like a massage. 

This was as soon as it was done. 

I can't wait till its finished and I can't wait till I get more!! 

Stay tuned for the final update!! You dot want to miss it!

Wedding Fun

Today was my friend catys wedding and it was beautiful. She was beautiful, the decorations were tasteful, the food was delicious, it was all just amazing. 

It was also nice to see friends that I only see once in awhile. It was also a good excuse to dress up. 

 

My hot date!! 

Girlfriends!!! 

Overall it was a great night out!! 

Xoxo

Chalkboard Love

I am completely addicted to everything chalkboard related here lately. I even just finished making this screen saver for my computer. Can you say love it!!! The hubs and I have been doing so well lately, but the other night brought us a PLOT TWIST. We got passed it and are doing dandy now, but I thought this screen saver would be a friendly reminder of things remembered. Have a nice night everyone!!

County Fair part 2

What a wonderful night at the fair!! I had more fun this time then I did the last! 

We ate dinner before heading to the fair so we could save some extra cash. But if you ask me, this meal is better than any meal at the fair! 

BLT with watermelon and corn. Mmmmm! 

Tonight's fair festivities included feeding the animals and riding the FREAKOUT.

Ok, I definitely didn't feed the hyena!  He is creepy and cool all at the same time. 

I love this little highlander cow. I will definitely be owning this someday. He was so cute!

Look at this little guy!! Just a haflinger foal. He is already huge!! 

And some donkeys! 

They would itch each others back from time to time, not long enough for me to snap a pic though. 

And some cute piggies!! 

This one below looks like our dog Sasha. 

FREAKOUT time!! This is by far the best ride ever! Swings and spins!!

I don't know If any of you know or watch the tv show, Red Jackets but its an awesome show where they build big guns. And this is there truck! 

And what would the fair be without some junk food??!! 

One deep fried Milky Way for the Mr.

Loving my fried Oreos!! 

And as always a pick of the two of us! 

County Fair Part 1

O my gosh!! I had such a great time at the fair last night!! Corn dogs, funnel cakes and lemon shake ups- O MY!!

First thing we did was check out the animal barns. Lots of sheep, pigs, cows, and babies!! 

The above cow is my favorite kind of cow!! I love jersey cows and I think it's because there so creamy looking!! Plus they are great milk cows and with me planning on owning my own farm someday-this is the best and prettiest milk cow.

There is also a "old McDonald's farm" where mommies and there babies gather. 

Baby piglets are so adorable!

Every time I tried to take a picture of the lamb it would hide its face. 

Looking at the animals apparently made us hungry because we were ready for our corn dogs!! 

I don't even like hotdogs really, but something about the fairs corn dogs are just amazing!! And for $4 dollars a piece they better be!

There is always so much to do at the fair! Like sit in a tractor wheel, I can't begin to describe how big this tire was! 

I'm 5"10 and I can fit comfortably. 

We didn't really buy anything. Normally we load up on t-shirts and goodies, but we didn't want to spend our life's savings here this year. 

We did stop at one vendor because a lady was selling handmade homemade organic vegan dog treats. These things were pretty cool because they look like human cookies. 

I couldn't resist spoiling my babies. 

A pink owl and cupcake for Sasha and a blue Dino and horse for Brutis. 

See any resemblance?? 

A horse for a horse!! With the same colors and everything!

By this time I was so ready for sweets!! 

Funnel cake here i come!! 

Ate this all by myself! In love funnel cakes, but there was something new at the fair this year......

FRIED OREOS!!!!

Oreos are my favorite thing in the world! And now they are available fried!! Holy heart attack! 

You can't tell me that don't look good. Mhmmmm! 

Well that's us at the fair-day 1. We will be heading back tonight because a lovely friend of ours gave us free passes to get in!! Oh yea!!! 

Couldn't help but throw one of us in there! 

Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon to the blog near you!
