Hi and welcome to my lil' corner of the world wide web (i think i'm the only person that still uses that term). Anyhoo, I'm glad you're here. This is my "family blog" or should I say "momma blog" because let's be honest...it's a blog of my ramblings. It's a place where I post the adventures of my little family and my love for food and photography. This is where I will brag about my perfect kids and my perfect husband...how they never leave their wet towels on the floor, how they eat their vegetables, and how they never ever throw tantrums. Ha!!! not even close :P

We are a normal-average (ok maybe not so normal) family with two crazy wonderful lil' kids who are good most of the time sometimes. And same goes with my hubby. They all drive me crazy at times but I LOVE them to the moon and back.

Thanks again for stoppin' by!

Labor Day Feast

We had a lazy labor day weekend full of yummy food.

I thought it would be fun to start this off backwards...


So this is what my plate looked like after I devoured my food!








For the main course...Hugo grilled some NY strip steak and I made some sauteed mushrooms and some corn. YUMMO!




For appetizers...Hugo grilled dove meat.  Last week was the kick-off for dove hunting season and he brought home some birds.  Yup that's how we do it in Texas....we hunt our dinner haha j/k I have never eaten dove before and wasn't really sure if I wanted to, but since Hugo offered to cook dinner....what the heck.  I'm not sure what seasoning and marinade he used for the bird but he filled it with jalapeno and cream cheese and wrapped it with bacon.  I don't eat bacon so mine wasn't wrapped with anything, just served with the grilled stuffed jalapeno.



Everything was super delicious even Christopher finished his plate.  Hannah, on the other hand, wouldn't even try it.  She had cereal and some grapes.  Oh well, at least she got something in that tummy of hers







It was such a nice day.  After dinner we relaxed and watched the kiddos play.  And just so you know...I didn't take any pics of Christopher because he pretty much told me if I took pictures of him that he wouldn't finish his food.  Christopher doesn't like the camera so much...unlike Hannah.  As soon as Hannah sees me put the camera on my face she strikes a pose or a smile lol...I guess its a girl thing :)






In other news....Hugo's making progress on his shed.  All the walls are up and it looks like maybe just maybe he will actually get it done before winter ....he started in spring lol.  So far he has done everything himself.  He keeps saying he want to hire a helper, but he has control issues when it comes to building and construction stuff so he ends up doing everything himself :)
