Birthday Dinner

I have been wanting to go to the Melting Pot for a very long time. I asked Art to take me there for my birthday. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect, but I was excited to try fondue. I have chocolate fondue many times.
 
Off we headed to the Melting Pot. It was DELISH! To start we had cheese fondue with bread, veggies and apples. Apples and cheese fondue is AMAZING!!!! It is my new favorite thing to eat.
 
 
 
Enjoying cheese fondue!




 
Broth to cook our meat

 
Beef, pork, buffalo chicken, shrimp, lobster tail, veggies and 6 dipping sauces. mmmmm


 
DESSERT! I LOVE marshmallows & chocolate. Amazing!
 
 
We had a 4 course meal. The flavors were all amazing! It was a lot of fun and very delicious! We will go back in the future!

Besties!

Last week I was in So Cal for a full week training some new employees. When I travel to So Cal for work I live for the night lift. I usually get to see numerous different friends and family. Each night I am off to see someone and my social life is booked!  I was able to see Krystal and Elena for a couple hours. The last time I saw Elena she was about a month old. She is so grown up, adorable, sweet, and full of smiles.

I brought her a Christmas present with a new outfit and a Jessie doll. Recently she watched Toy Story. Krystal told me she really liked it. I found a Jessie doll at the Disney store, so I had to get it for her. She seems to really like Jessie and recently brought Jessie shoe shopping with her daddy. How adorable!  Here are some pictures from our night together.




 
I love this picture. It makes me laugh because she is looking at me like hey lady pay attention to me!
Pretty baby waiting for her dinner!
 
 
Come on people please give me some food!


 
Yummy!
 
 
 
 
Krystal made a delicious apple crumble crisp. It was amazing!
 
 
 
Besties!

Christmas Cakes!

Growing up every Christmas my cousins in North Dakota, my siblings and me would wrap up Little Debbie snack cakes and give them to each other. We would cheer if we got our favorite ones! lol  The Christmas Little Debbie's had gift tags on the back we would cut out to use the next year. This all seems soooo ridiculous now.

I received a package the other day from my cousin Gina. I ripped it open and guess what was inside? A box of Christmas Tree Cake Little Debbies! She wrote a note
Becky, Merry Christmas. Don't forget to use the gift tags on the back.

This made my night! Soooo funny and brought back so many memories!

I made this a couple weeks ago. Art said they are his second favorite cookies.

Reef Fishing

Art and I went reef fishing while we were in the Bahamas. Reef fishing is for littler fish. We caught a lot of sand fish, which are used as bait. We caught some yellow tail snapper, grunt, and a trigger fish. Art actually out fished me this time around. My reason for not catching fish was because I wasn't letting my line down low enough. Ugh!!!! If I had let my line all the way to the bottom I would have out fished Art. lol
 




Art caught the first yellow tail snapper

 
Hey, I got a BIG one!



 
Isn't that fish just beautiful! The colors were soooo bright. Art didn't keep this fish. The fishing guide said trigger fish are very hard to skin. That fish had some massive teeth. They were as big as Sammy teeth. lol

 
Look I caught one too!


 
Everyone fish!

Garbage Picking

You can take the boy out of California, but you can't take the California out of the boy!

Art is very green! Always recycling, picking up garbage and trying to protect our earth. Art would go for walks along the beach almost every day while we were in the Bahamas. He picked up garbage every day. People would look at him crazy at times. Towards the end of the vacation he started carrying a plastic bag with him to collect garbage to throw away. I started calling him Grandpa each time he picked up something. lol

Traveling with Toddlers er I mean adults

Traveling with my husband & me is like taking 2 toddlers. I need sleep and food or I'm throwing a tantrum or crying. Maybe both. Art will say let's get you some food so you get rid of the attitude. I pack snacks even for a 1 hour flight because there could be a delay. Pretzels or peanuts aren't going to cut it when I'm starving. Normally I pack a pb&j sandwich.

Art needs entertainment & drinks. If he doesn't have them he is complaining. He HATE taking carry on luggage, but he gets antsy without something to do. I made the mistake of not taking a magazine for him when we traveled to the Bahamas. Well he had to suffer with 2 Allure magazines lol

Becareful if you decide you want to travel with us. It could be a screaming, whining event!


Us the morning we left for our vacation!

Vacation Overview Week

Oh how I loved our vacation. Looking back at the pictures is making me feel relaxed. Art was snapping pictures of me in front of the water fountain as we waited for the shuttle. Art likes to take the camera, zoom in, and take CRAZY pictures. I usually end of with pictures of various parts of my body. 99% of them always get deleted. One time I had a picture of just one of my eyes. Crazy man!

I will try to highlight our vacation this week. Stay Tuned!

Leopard Birthday

My mother in law made dinner for me on my birthday. I told my MIL I would like leopard slippers for my birthday. Well not only did she get me leopard slippers, but a whole bag of leopard stuff!  A one piece pajama outfit with cat feet. lol Leopard umbrella, leopard hat, monkey socks and a gift card.

My MIL was also kind enough to buy trick candles. I would blow the candles out, I would start to wave the smoke and the candles would light on fire again. Oh my lord I had to put those candles in water to get them to stop lighting. The good point is I was able to make a million wishes. =)







 
Tonight Art is taking me to the Melting Pot for my birthday dinner. I can't wait!!!!
