Chubby at Knuckleheads

Last night we went to Knuckleheads to see Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band and did not get home until 1:30am (which is extremely late for me). The best zydeco band out there and they even won a grammy. This is the fourth time we have seen them and we have a blast every time.  Michael dances and sings the WHOLE night.

Chubby Carrier

He truly loves the band!

Ann went with us and we had a so much fun people watching!

AHHH!  Michael always sweats in a heart shape.  

Chubby invited all the ladies on stage so Ann and I got right up there and danced.

Michael and I dancing on stage in front of a hundred people.

Michael, Chubby and I

Dan and Holly also went with us and enjoyed Chubby for the first time.

Today has been pretty laid back.  Cass wanted braided spaghetti loaf for dinner so I made it for her.  I also made salted caramel pretzel bark.

For my dessert tonight I will be having white lemon strawberry sangria in my favorite new mason jar mug.

I want to wish my sister a Happy Birthday!  I hope she has had a wonderful day and I can not wait to see her in one week.  We have lots of fun things planned and I am sooooo looking forward to it.  Love you sister!!

Miss Mononucleosis

Yes, Cass Marie has mono!! And yes her daddy already asked her who she was kissing!

She did get up for a short while to make the marinade for our cilantro thai chicken.  Thank goodness because it was good!

Fun in the Water

Tonight Ann and I walked on the water treadmill and then went to water aerobics. I have had several people ask me what the water treadmill looked like so here it is.  It is actually really fun.

Dylan playing basketball in the pool. (shocking)

Cass also went to water aerobics with Ann and I and she had lots of fun.

Sammy's Pizza

Well, you can tell Michael is gone because we went out for pizza again. This time our friends Vicki, Trent and Hannah met us at Sammy's pizza and it was really good.

Now I am making salted caramel cheesecake bars for my work friends. They are getting spoiled this week because I have already made them vanilla oatmeal no bake cookies and cinnamon cheesecake breakfast bars.

High School Friends

Finally after about three years we met up with my high school friends Lance and Dana. We ate dinner at the Epic Buffet in the new Hollywood Casino. 

Lance won $100 on the big slot machine.

Lance and his new favorite machine!

We are NOT going three years again without getting together!  Thanks Lance and Dana for a fun evening!

My Boys

I love my boys!  They are quite entertaining and sometimes Cass and I just watch them and roll our eyes.  Crazy boys!!  Here they are singing and dancing the night away.

Co-Parenting

Since Michael and Ricky are not home, Ann volunteered to co-parent with me.  We decided to take the kids out for pizza.  We went to Chiusano's Brick Oven Pizzeria.

The garlic knots were delicious!

Dylan did not want to try them but we talked him into it and now he is a big fan of garlic knots.

The pizza crust and sauce were really good!

I forgot to post that Cass made mini cinnamon rolls  the other morning and we loved them.

I also baked two things that I really enjoyed.  I made oatmeal chocolate chip cupcakes with a cinnamon sugared chip frosting(yummy) and pretzel crusted peanut butter cup blondie pie(scrumptious).
