Karaoke With Joni!

We went out for Jenn's 23rd Birthday and I get to mark off sing karaoke from my list. Joni and I use to sing Karaoke together when we were in high school. We sang "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks and "What's Up" by Four Non-Blondes. It was a lot of fun. We also got to visit with some of Steve's good friends that we don't get to visit nearly enough.

Crossing off my list!

I was able to cross off paint kitchen cabinets off my list. I was so embarrassed of my cabinets because they were so dirty looking. The old paint was a dirt magnet. So I decided I am going to paint. Once I got started I thought what did I get myself into. There were so many nooks and crannies. But I did it and they look really good! The new paint is so much cleaner and much easier to wipe down if something gets spilt on it.

I also marked off another new recipe. I made pasta salad for my Grad Party. I got the recipe from Steve's family friend Anisa. It was really easy! I forgot to take a picture though. :(

Also for my grad party I made jello shots ( I marked this off as a beverage but I guess it could be considered a dessert too. They were raspberry lemonade jello shot and it was hard to take just one. :) They were a hit at the party!

I'm having fun marking off things on my 101 list!!

Hair cuts

Zoe and Presley both got their hair cut yesterday. Zoe wanted to go as short as mommy. It is pretty short. I tried to convence her to keep her hair long because it was so pretty. The short hair will be much easier to manage. She even told me, "Mom, I won't get food in my hair anymore with short hair." She won the argument. :)

Presley got his hair cut too. It was so long and beautiful but everywhere we went no matter what he was wearing people would call him a she. One person even told him to smile like a princess. Grr! It makes me so mad. So I broke down and got his hair cut. It is still longer. He looks like a surfer dude now! :)

Great Wolf Lodge

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge for a night and had so much fun! We played in the water a lot!!

Cooking up a Storm

I have been taking over the role of cooking again now that I am on summer break and now that Steve has been working so much overtime. I am really enjoying it too! Two of the new recipes I tried are Greens and Beans and the other was Steak Stir Fry. They were both very yummy! Presley loved the stir fry he kept yelling more, more! A chef like to hear stuff like that. Lol! It's really nice to not be eating the same stuff over and over... like we usually do when we are on a strick schedule for time, but I found that both recipes were very quick and easy and I will be adding them into my food rotation. I'm on the search for more quick, easy, and yummy recipes!
