Flashback Fridays




The summer after i graduated (witch was ten years ago now lol) i went on a road trip with My Dad, Gma, and Gpa. this was from Wichita Falls TX to Los Angeles CA. we were out there for the better part of the month of June. we didn't go straight out to L.A. though we made some stops along the way.


Fur Baby Friday

So this last week Dingo has started jumping out of the bed. this isn't just she has to go to the bath room and we wouldn't wake up. she just time after time kept jumping out of the bed. so we have been keeping her in the kennel at night. what this means is the cats will start sleeping in the bed again. I woke up this morning with Tucker and TingTing on either side of me (as seen below). last night i had Breanna all up in my face it was quite cute.

Drum Roll Please....


For at least a month now, my sister and I have been promising Jacob we'd come over to write down his recipe for Red Sauce. After making plans and having to cancel at the last minute, we decided to do it tonight. I have to tell you though, making Red Sauce, while entertaining a 4 1/12 month old, fighting with a puppy, chasing a two year old, and constantly reminding Jacob to measure, can be very difficult. But, somehow, it's been accomplished! Here we have it, the coveted recipe for Red Sauce.




Jacob's Infamous Red Sauce 
(with every ingredient in the spice cabinet but cinnamon.)


First things first, the base for the sauce: 

3 29oz cans of tomato sauce
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
2/3 cup of diced red onion
6 cloves of minced garlic
1 heaping tbsp chives
1/4 tsp of chili powder
1/2 tsp of thyme
1/2 tsp of sage
1 tsp of oregano
1 tsp of basil
2 tbsp of parsley
1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar

Mix ingredients into a pot and simmer on low.




Next, the meat:

1/3  cup diced red onion
1/4 tsp  fennel seed
4 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1 lb of ground beef
1 lb of itailan sausage
In a separate skillet, mix ingredients (if you have a ‘Roy’ have him do it, because he makes the meat perfect!). Cook on medium high, until the meat is thoroughly done. Mix into sauce. Simmer the sauce and the meat together on low for about two hours, stirring occasionally. Mix sauce with pasta and serve! Don’t forget to enjoy!



We've found that this recipe is good for almost 8 servings. If you decide 8 is too much, I recommend not cutting it in half, instead, save the rest of the sauce for later. Like chili, it just keeps tasting better!

Cupcake challenge ::: week 9

This is going to be super short. The theme was soda this week so we went with crush we toke a simple white cake mix, used soda instead of water. Oragne and Strawberry the strabbery batter was thicker. Mom helped me make them we left them in NE with Number3 and kids. Didn't even end up with time to frost them. Lol.

We had a visitor!



Dingo was all crouching tiger and sniffing at the grill, i saw something move out of the corner of my eye. i have seen snakes around here so i gab the dog and put her inside. look behind the grill and its this cute little thing. we put it in a box and toke her to the closest vet they said that it might not need to be feed at all but they will check it out for a few days before they just release it.  there are more photos after the break.
