I asked him to put it outside. When I saw this I laughed. It's so the babies can see it still

Just the right kick

I made jalapeno poppers a couple weeks ago and they were killer.
Super easy, fast and good.

12 jalapeno's, cut in half, take out seeds

1 pkg cream cheese, softened

bacon (I had turkey bacon in the freezer)

Fill jalapeno's, wrap bacon around, bake in oven preheated @ 350 about 20-25 mins. Enjoy ♥

Some of our loot

See that thing in the middle that's got the white base and it's tall, that is an herb keeper. You put your fresh herbs inside the clear part fill the bottom with water and store it in your fridge. It's suppose to keep your herbs last longer. I got my SIL one for Christmas and when I saw it I freaked out about it so of course Santa had to bring me one as well. Do you see what my ipod is sitting on, lower left corner? That's the new cooking mama game.......be jealous, it's the shit!

We got Baby G her first purse

Jason, Christmas morning

He was being a goof ball

Looks like we'll be having a very white Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

I hope you all are having a great Christmas eve so far. I've been super busy getting everything ready and baked for tonight & tomorrow. I've been taking lots of pictures, and once I have a minute (& a couple glasses of wine) I'll sit down and load all these pictures for you too see. Till then have a great Christmas eve & a wonderful Christmas.

From my family to yours, Happy Holidays.

Our first for 2008

Jason & I ate sushi for dinner a couple of weeks ago. I loved the Locati roll, liked the Shawn roll alot and did not like the New York roll at all. I can't wait to go back and try some new rolls. This place has like 20 rolls and they have the best pot stickers ever. We got ours to go, hence the plastic.

Shawn Roll: crab, cucumber, crystal shrimp, avocado

New York Roll: smoked salmon, apple, cream cheese, avocado

Locati: seared tuna, cream cheese, tempura bits, pineapple

This season we rock

Rink Rats VS. The Tigers

11-3

We won. I'm feeling bad for the Tigers, they have not won a single game so far. I'm really hoping they win at least one game this season. My dad missed the game (he's in California). Jason scored a goal. This is his 2nd or 3rd goal of the season. GO BABE!! No hockey for the next two weeks, cuz of Christmas and New Years.

I bet Disneyland at this time of the year is pretty amazing

My dad and the family took off this morning for California. They are taking the kids to Disneyland, and have several stops planned (they are in their trailer). They plan on being back Christmas Eve. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers ♥

That's why this is my blog
