Naughty Dog!

Tuckie is obsessed with ripping the limbs off of any new toys I buy him! This is the hedgehog with a Santa hat that he got for waiting in the car for me in the Wal-Mart parking lot :) .. What a brat!

The eyes were ripped off within 5 minutes and it took about a half hour before the back was tore open and the squeaker was out!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Last night I wanted to make some beef stew so I found a good recipe and was really excited about it! Well the recipe calls for 4 cloves of garlic but I didn't know that there are 4 cloves inside 1 button of garlic, so I added 4 whole buttons which equaled 16 cloves of garlic to my stew! I didn't figure out what had gone wrong when I was eating it till my friend Angie was asking about the garlic and then explained the 4 clove 1 button rule! I was so sad and let down so tonight I have decided to try baking something brand new that I have never made before and that happens to be.....PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE!! :)


It turned out fabulous and I want all of you to try this amazing recipe especially if you need a little confidence booster on your cooking cause its super easy but looks kinda hard! Thats the best part! So here is the recipe..

1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 can 8 oz. sliced pineapple drained and cut in half
2 tablespoons chopped pecans if desired, Maraschino cherries if desired
1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk or water
2 tablespoons vegtable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in round pan 9 x 1 1/4 inches, or square 8 x 8 x 2 inches in the oven. Sprinkle brown sugar over butter. Arrange pineapple slices in sinle layer on sugar mixture. Sprinkle with pecans. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice (cherries with stems can be added after baking).

2. Beat remaining ingrediants in a large bowl for 4 min on low scarping sides often. Pour batter over pineapple.

Picnics in the Fall

Right when Ty got home we decided to go on a picnic and have lunch and play catch with Tuckie. The weather was perfect and I don't know about everyone else but this is my favorite time of the year and I hope we continue to see the fall weather! Anyways we had a lot of fun and we got to talk and spend time with each other which was so nice considering that I didn't see him for so long!

Lake Powell

It has been a while since I posted a good blog with some good pictures but don't you worry I have saved them all for one big blog! Tyler got home about 2 weeks ago and I swear we have been so busy ever since! A few days after he got home my dad and the fam flew in from Georgia for the yearly visit and they definitely kept us busy. We had a Lake Powell trip and it was so fun! My uncle Ward was pulling the the tube that Ty and I were riding and I seriously thought we were gonna die!

My dad right before he got on the death tube!

Dad and Angela on the tube!

Tuck love's boat rides!

Ty and I right before my husband rolled across the lake like 3 times!

I LOVE LAKE POWELL!

After Lake Powell we continued to do fun things with the fam. We went to Pine Valley and had a great dinner. Then we went to the Dixie Round-up and it rained the whole entire time and the dirt was constantly in our eyes! We had a great time and love when this time comes every year so we can visit and do fun things!

Tyler is on his way home!

Tyler left Virginia Beach this morning at 9 and is now arriving in St. Louis any minute to stay the night and then 20 more hours and he will be home! YEAH! I have been husbandless for over 7 weeks now! I have seriously been going in and out of depression and cry when Delila plays sad songs. Haha im losing it so its a good thing he is coming home!
