My Kind of Day Off

Mason cuddled with me all morning while I drank my Starbucks and watched Netflix.

And he cuddled with me some more this afternoon! My poor puppy!

I took Cass and Dylan out for dinner at Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers.  Then we stopped and rented a Redbox.  We are getting ready to get comfy again and watch "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day".

I did not feel like baking today but I did make cinnamon rice krispie treats with a cinnamon glaze and cinnamon strudel coffee creamer.  Happy Presidents' Day!

Not a Good Valentine's Day

Well, it started off pretty good. Cass and Dylan had their Valentine gifts waiting for them downstairs.

Chocolate and gift cards! How can you go wrong with that?!

Mason got some new treats.

Turducken Flavor! I thought it was funny so I had to buy them.

Then Michael took me to see Fifty Shades of Grey and they NEVER delivered us our popcorn.  Michael did get his money back after the movie.  Then we ate lunch at Wasabi Sushi and the service was HORRIBLE and they brought us the wrong sushi twice.

The worst part of the day was when Mason got bit by another dog and had to go to the pet hospital and have stitches.

Poor Mason

It was disgusting!!

Then after the not so lovely day I did get to sit and enjoy some Fifty Shades of Grey wine with my drugged up dog.

Dylan's 3 point shot video

Dylan's winning shot video He is number 11.

3-Point Buzzer Beater For The Win

Behind by one point and Dylan shot a 3-pointer with exactly one second left on the clock and SWOOSH he made it. His whole team and coaches stormed onto the court and jumped on top of him.   It was even more awesome that it was the first home game and all of his friends were there.

I actually had to take tums after that game!!  After the game Dylan said "I love my life".

It's Looking Like Christmas Around Here

Michael is already working hard on some new features for the Christmas light display.  Look at these huge candy canes.

Michael is holding the little candy cane he has used the past few years but this year he made gigantic candy canes.  I can't wait to see them all lit up!

He had to make a new controller box for a new addition to the light show.

Ok I had to sneak in my four new recipes so here you go....vanilla bean coffee creamer, coconut cream cheese sheet cake w/cream cheese frosting, parmesan corn and now I am enjoying a homemade hawaiian wine cooler.

Mason's First Starbucks and New Recipes

Mason went with me to Starbucks and they gave him a "pup cup" which is just whipped cream. Please notice the car was in PARK.

He loved it!

Michael put more on his face and he was working hard trying to get it off.  Two hours later he threw up.  No more Starbucks for Mason.

I made tator tot breakfast casserole when I got home and it was pretty good.

Mason and I enjoyed sitting on the deck for awhile this afternoon.  It was gorgeous out!!

I also made oreo fudge cappuccino ice cream for the first time. Dylan's friends ate most of it.

My other new recipes we tried tonight were bacon bourbon honey steak butter and potatoes cooked in  garlic butter and broth.

Now it is movie night!

SuperBowl

Finally an exciting SuperBowl game and half time entertainment. 

Kelly and I enjoyed cactus bowl cocktails since the Super Bowl was in Arizona.

EVERY year Dylan bothers Kelly!!

Mason waiting for someone to drop food.

A nice warm fire while it was snowing outside.

Cass on her phone like always.

Since Dylan always wants to sit with Kelly I decided to sit with her.

We had a nacho bar, milk chocolate truffle brownies, peanut butter cheesecake pudding cookies, and Kelly made Crack!

Again Mason waiting for Dylan to drop food.

Finally he fell asleep for a few hours.

Another fun SuperBowl. Hopefully our tradition will continue on!
