Me and my Sisters!

Sorry for the lack of posting recently. My sister in law was here on a vacation from Alaska. While she was here my other sister in law came down with her boys and stayed at my in laws house too. Kinda funny having all three of my sister in laws under one roof for one whole week! We had so much fun just hanging out, going shopping, eating at Red Robin's, taking pictures of our little men, drying out a camera that fell in water, making a scrapbook, taking pictures of things we wanted to buy in Hobby Lobby, (lol!) making multiple trips to Walmart in one day because we forgot half the things that were on the list...Whoops! So many happy memories were made in such a short amount of time! I feel so blessed to have married such a wonderful man with such awesome sisters!

Pretty Dishes make for Pretty Pictures

Today, after looking at all sorts of different recipe blogs, I have decided that I need to start looking for an assortment of different dishes (plates, bowls ext...) to use for my recipes. I have been wanting to do that for a while, and now I finally have an excuse to feed my yard sale/thrift store habit!
Those of you who know me well know that I will rarely ever buy an item of clothing for more than $5.00, and that I am always coming home with all sorts of new treasures I can't wait to show off. I believe that I get it from my Grandma Sheldra, who was a big time antique-er and loved estate auctions. She taught me how to shop at a Flea Market, and how never to pay the asking price. (something that Austin is proud of me for, but embarrassed about when I take him with me! Lol!)

Last night was a pretty typical Tuesday night at my house. Austin calls me to tell me he's about 20 minutes away from home, so I start the brown rice for dinner. Now, I have made brown rice on many occasions before with no problems, but tonight it just did not want to become eatable! For some reason the rice and the water decided that they did not like each other, and they wanted nothing to do with each other. I tried everything I could think of, well to the extent of turning the burner up hotter and keeping the lid on it and watching the first season of the A Team with Austin and Dakota...not really too much you can do with rice.

In the end dinner was a tad late, but still super yummy! All the rice needed was a little time...

P.S. Murdock is hilarious!!!
