Patio...

My house is officially ALL put together just shy of one year of living in it.  I finally got the last thing put together for my house: the patio.  I'm glad I took my time because that meant I was able to find some good deals on the two things that I needed/wanted for it.  It's nice to wait for the end of summer sales that you can find out there.  I found a cute table and chair set and a barbeque.  I've never really barbequed anything but figured it's time to maybe learn how and start.  Does this call for a party, especially before the weather starts to get cold and snowy?  Maybe it does...?!  :) 



Mexican Wreath

My friend invited me over for dinner at her house and the home made meal was Mexican Wreath. Her and her mom made it up and it was just SO delicious to my taste buds that I just absolutely needed the recipe so I can make it. It really is SO good that I've decided to share it and you can try it too.

Ingredients:
* 3 big cans of chicken (you can use beef if wanted)
* 2 fajita seasoning mixes
* 2 small cans of green chili- mild
* 1 tomatoe- chopped
* 1 can of black olives
* 2 crescent rolls- it depends on how much you plan on making,
if you need more
* 2 cups of mayonnaise
* 1 bag of chips
* pizza pan

Directions:
* Set oven to 350 degrees.

* Crush chips together. Unroll the crescents. Dip one side of the crescent onto the chips. Put the crescent, chip side down, half way onto the pan with the pointy side hanging off. Over lap them half over each other.


* Cut the olives into halves. Mix together the chicken-or beef, fajita seasoning, green chili, olives, tomatoes and mayonnaise in a bowl. Fill up the crescents with the mixture of ingredients.


* Fold the end of the crescent over the mixture and tuck it onto the pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

Mother's Day hike...

All the moms, daughters, cousins, and dads went to Eldorado Canyon State Park for Mother's Day. The weather was perfect for a good day of hiking. No rain clouds in sight and a day full of sunshine. It couldn't of been better. Lunches were packed and there was a pit stop to enjoy them and get fueled up with some more energy.

Adam in Georgia- with the Army and Michael in California- just moved there.

Book marks for Mother's Day...

I came up with the idea of making book marks for the moms that I know that read, for a Mother's Day gift. I just went and got some blank book marks at Hobby Lobby and then devoloped some cute pictures of their children and glued them on and then went and got them done at an office store. They turned out cute and it was a good idea!

Camping for Father's Day...

It's an annual thing with the family for Father's Day. My dad LOVES to go camping and fishing and so we go at least once a year for Father's Day since he enjoys it so much. The whole family went, besides my brothers, but it was still a good time. We went to Turquoise Lake up in the mountains this year. Fishing was fun and me and the boys, and even my 3 year old niece, caught a lot of fish!



The boys weren't there but the girls still had fun with dad.

My dad had a good camping trip and caught LOTS of fish!!!




Yeah it isn't girly but I do LOVE to clean fish. Maybe it's 'cause I grew up fishing?! Me and my friend both like to do it so I'm not alone with liking to do the job!

Dinner's ready!!! SYKE...I don't even like to eat fish, only to catch it!!!

One of the fish my 3 year old niece, Rylee, caught with her pink princess pole. She caught more than me!

It all began in 1980...

My friend's just turned the big 3-0!!! Growing up in the 80's was SO cool so why not throw an 80's birthday bash to throw in the mix of AWESOMENESS!!!

Ms. Pac-Man is gonna get the birthday boys...






VOGUE!!!

Beans rocks it 80's style!

Birthday "parties"

My birthday fell on a thursday but that doesn't mean you can't go have fun since it's not on the weekend. I started the evening off with dinner and cake- my favorite: ice cream cake- with the family. After getting full off that I headed down to downtown Denver with a couple of my friends. We had a good night of being out and about for my birthday.
Even though the whole day was good I was certainly sad. My Rockies weren't in town this year for my birthday. I've been going to the games on my birthday but not this year. :(





My friend was in town over my birthday and her birthday was the next week after mine and so a whole bunch of us girlfriends went out to downtown Denver to celebrate our birthdays together. It's been a VERY long time since we've all gone out together since my friend lives in Florida. We did all have a fun time together.
