Cake pops

Oh yea....
We did them. We ate them. We enjoyed them.

Spicy lemon chicken

I've been on this Chinese food kick.
I just love it. Well, Jehovah blessed me with these beautiful lemons. So I got all the juice out of 9 of them and made spicy lemon chicken. It is so yummy and zesty. Then just a little bit of kick.
Come to mama.....
Actually, go to papa because I made it for him.

Field service

It was like a Disney movie, the birds were chirping, the sun was shinning, and all my babies were happy.
What a beautiful day.

The PB&J

It was a cold morning. There was a feel in the air. You could tell there was a creature lurking, but where? An when?
He started off as a boy. Really, a young man in the making. But the urdge was to great. The situation was too big. It overwhelmed him with temptation.

The home made bread was to much for any one boy. Ive done my son wrong. I let him cut his own bread. So he took an inch. Literally.

I should of been there. OH WHY WASENT I THERE?!?! The young man had full unsupervised access to the peanut butter. So he scooped it as he would ice cream.

One inch of PB on one inch of bread.

It gets worse. Portion control I call it. It was a great idea. Buy individual jam packets. One or maybe two jam packets per child. But he REBELLED!!! He just was uncontrollable. Unstoppable. He just kept applying jam after jam after jam!!! It was horrifying.
I couldn't watched. His youngest sister begged him to stop. "WHY?!?!BRO BRO?!?!WWWHHYYY?!"

The train wreck to follow was far to much for a group of girls to watch. Children cried into their mothers bosoms. Toddlers ran to hide from the horror. I just sobbed and held the young children as they watched in horror.

He ate his mess. Like a lion devouring a fresh kill. Prey went across his face, on the wall, all over the wall, the table, the floor, the chair and his hair.

Why? Why does such things happen to good people?

Say "Ello to my little friend".

Well, you can't. Because he's dead.
He died. He's gone! Good riddance.
He lived in my laundry, quietly awaiting some delicious human flesh, and lay little babies in her victims eyes!!!
But not this time flesh eater! SHe ended up in the wash, on hot, with bleach and lavender scented soap.
Kill it. Kill it with fire. You madam flesh eater, are not my friend.

My wonderful husband

My husband could build a mall with a tooth pick, a stick and some floss.
This time my handy dandy husband converted our walk in hallway closet into a private office for Koral. He noticed that she needed somewhere to go where goldfish wernt being launched, potty accidents wernt happening and stories wernt being told.
So he pulled out all my clothes, blankets, belts, purses etc and went to work. Hand crafting a desk, removing and repainting the molding, installing electricity, installing lights, installing a hard internet wire (with the help of Billy climbing into the attic), and hooking up a computer and printer. He's such a wonderful father. So thoughtful and considerate of his children's individual needs.

Cherrio-button

There are so many reasons why I love being a mother. This is one of them..... Ul

5 star peaking pork

My husband said it was amazing.
And that he could eat it a couple times a day. :) whoo hoo.
It's always fun to make something that isint burnt or under cooked. :D

Fresh basil slowly baking

The aroma that comes from fresh herbs, as they slowly dry in an oven is amazing! In this case, we used basil, but any herb will make you want to eat. And for some reason; carbs. With wine.......and cheese! Lots of different cheeses.

Maybe some fresh grapes, and finger friendly veggies....

And some fresh ripe fruit.....

And just a small delicate piece of chocolate....

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go eat!

My chief son, Billy

My son billy cooked up a storm tonight.
2 pizzas. Complete with dough. Homemade brownies, not from the box, beautiful water to share and Redford beans for tomorrow.

His pizzas were as followed:

Pepperoni, tomato, bacon and sauce.

And one for us "parental units":

Olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, fresh tomato, mozzarella, fresh cracked pepper, parmesan cheese, parsley and oregano.

There were no left overs!!!

Sweet little girls

What sweet little girls causing mischief in my backyard.

My sweet cowboy

My little cowboy handling business.
He's becoming such a man. He did an amazing job mowing the yard. And yes, I caught him with a big grin doing donuts, and kickin up the dust.

My cowboy....

Stomach bypass surgery

Upon a delightfully full lunch with my older children, we began a conversation about stomach size. This, of coarse, referencing to the amount of food Koral can eat in one sitting. This conversation led to a Wikipedia search of actual adult sized stomach. Which led to a conversation about medical advancements. As in, Stomach Bypass surgery. After explaining the procedure to the children, Billy said "Then you get your stomach back?" this caught me off guard. "What?" was all I could reply.
"After you loose a bunch of weight. They give you your stomach back. Other wise you will die. So they have to give it back." lol! Which made me imagine, somewhere inside of a very important hospital, a room, of stomachs filed away according to case number and name. "Yes, Mrs.Doe, we've been expecting you.........Bob, be a dear and go fetch Mrs.Doe's Stomach please."

My cake masterpiece!!!

Whoo hoo!!

Happy Husband cake!

My sad attempt at home made angel food

My husband asked, begged and pleaded for this one particular cake he found online. I said "ok."

We should of bought one in the bakery department. Lol....

I will attempt again. Lol sorry sweet husband.

Cow in space

My son just asked me:
"If the cow went on the moon would it make better ice cream?" lol!

My experience at Jack in the Box

I went to Jack in the Box. I ordered a $3.99 combo (chicken nuggests, fries, a drink and a jumbo jack) for Koral and Bella. And a spicy chicken for myself.

The man hands us 2 drinks and 1 bag.
I divided the bags. And realized I was missing one French fri and 2 straws.

Around through the drive through again. I inform the guy that we are missing a fri. The man says "$1.29".
I inform him I've already paid. He gives me the fri, 2 straws and were on our way.

While chowin down Koral says "Mama, did you get your Spicy Chicken?" I double look what I'm eating, it appears so be chicken. "yes. Why?" She says "Because I'm eating a spicy chicken."
We then discovered that her unexpected spicy chicken, was wrapped in a Jr bacon cheeseburger, but we paid for a jumbo jack.

Oh geeze. Lol

My experience at Jack in the Box

For lunch we went to Jack in the Box.
I orders the $3.99 meal (nuggets,fries,jumbo jack and a drink) for Bella Boo and a spicy chicken combo for myself.

The food came. I drove away. I divided the food and realized, I was missing a fri and 2 straws.

Once more around, I tell him I am missing a fri. He says "$1.39" I explain that I already paid and gets me my fri.

I'm grubbin into my spicy chicken, and drinking the soda I didn't order, and Koral says "Are you eating a hamburger or chicken?" I said "Chicken. Why?" She then tells me "I'm eating a spicy chicken and I don't know if I like it." I look at it, sure enough, she's eating a spicy chicken, wrapped in a jr bacon cheeseburger wrapping, but was charged for a jumbo jack. Wow.

Figs

Soon, we will have 2 full trees of figs to share. And this year, looks to be a beautiful harvest.
