Beautiful Fall Weekend

Yesterday, I met Mitchell and Nick at MDL Wine and Spirits for a holiday taste testing event. It was so much fun that we had to walk to Taco Via afterwards because we did not eat lunch before all of the samples!

Then Dylan got to go to Academy Sports for the first time and shop with his gift card from Auntie "M" and Uncle Frankie. He was so excited to get his new basketball he has been wanting and two pair of NIKE Elite socks.

Since it has been so nice this weekend, the Christmas lights have been going up.  At one point I couldn't even park in the driveway.

Mason got a haircut!

Cass wanted some pictures with Mason.

I love these cuties!!

Happy Fall!!

New fall recipes: Chocolate chip cake with chocolate chip cookie dough frosting(yum), cinnamon roll cake with cream cheese frosting, blueberry pancake muffins, Granny's homemade biscuits, crazy good casserole, pumpkin chocolate chip bundt cake with chocolate ganache, pumpkin muffins with maple glaze, and caramel macchiato cookies. Tonight I made green chile pepper jack chicken enchiladas and sweet salty cinnamony pretzel snack mix.

Super Fun Saturday

This morning Cass and I met Mitchell and Nick at the Overland Park Convention Center for the Hen House Culinary Celebration. Holy Cow, samples of food or drinks at every booth.  We are definitely going back next year.

Cute tree!

Cass wanted to take home some froot loops.

Tonight was date night with Betty and Tony and we went to Pizza 51.  They had really good pizza and they also had a cool piece of art outside.  It was a guitar made out up hubcaps and license plates.

I ordered a hamburger and mushroom slice.

After dinner we went to Charlie Hoopers to play shuffleboard but they had removed the shuffleboard table.  We decided to go ahead and stay for a couple of drinks and then call it a night.  

I love fun Saturdays!!

Happy 13th Birthday Dylan

How did I get old enough to have two teenagers in the house??? This morning I took Dylan out for breakfast and he chose Krispy Kreme donuts.  YUMMY!!

Dylan got his new phone he has been wanting for months and months!! He also was happy to get a new football, tee, itunes card, a case of Fitz's root beer and cash.

Of course he wanted a cookie cake!

After eating pizza I took Dylan, Peyton and Calvin to play Advanced Laser Tag.  I wasn't suppose to be in the room so I snuck in and took a picture but it is blurry.

Three games of laser tag

Then it was time to go home and have cookie cake.

Happy Birthday Dylan!!  Someone please wish Michael and I good luck during these teenage years!!

Happy Birthday Michael!

Happy 40something birthday!!  Michael enjoyed his favorite birthday dinner (homemade meatballs and twice baked potatoes) and his new crossfit shirt and Si-Cology 101 book (duck dynasty book).  Now waiting for trick-or-treaters and watching a movie.

Happy Birthday Honey!!

Wrist Update

Good news....cast is off! Bad news....splint is on for four weeks!  At least he gets to take it off while he showers and sleeps and if he is sitting doing nothing (which that will never happen).

Yuck! His wrist is flat!

Free Movie Passes

This morning Dylan and I went to the premiere of "Free Birds" with the free movie passes I won.  It was a cute and I enjoyed having a movie date with my son and eating movie popcorn for breakfast.

Oh, I forgot to put the recipes on the blog last night for the things I made for the Pampered Chef party.  I made crockpot caramel apple cider, vanilla bean snickerdoodles and cookie dough pretzel bites.

Great Day Off!

My morning started off by getting a mammogram with my friend Sheila and we both got good news from the results.  YAY!

Then I came home and took Cass to go see "Gravity". (she had the day off also)

After the movie it was time to clean the house and make goodies for my Pampered Chef party.  What a fun night with friends!

Dylan had to photo bomb the picture!

Now for a relaxing weekend! (I hope)
