…. and I have not been here in blog world! I know, I know! But I was too busy playing with all of my company and enjoying the weather we have had during my time off!
No worries,I’m back, so on with the blog!
Aren’t these just gorgeous!!??!!
Mom and dad came to visit and brought these yummy looking hydrangeas to me that they grew in their yard! They have always had high expectations for their yard each summer but end up traveling way to much to keep up with it! This year they are doing much better and getting some pretty things out of it!!
I love reaping those benefits!
Ohh and these benefits too, thank YOU farmers, for inventing the SEEDLESS Watermelon!!
I have been on quite a fruit binge lately! I can’t get enough of it!! I come home and cut it all up so it can get good and cold!
To die for!!
No worries all my healthy fruit has been canceled out with a few deadly cravings I have wanted to test out in the kitchen recently…
My first one was Spinach Alfredo Lasagna… Sooo good!
I kind of made up my own way because I could NOT find a recipe that had exactly what I wanted in it…
Alfredo, spinach and Ricotta cheese.
I believe I did 3 layers and baked it all together for 45 minutes at 350. Try it, it’s soooo good!
Oh yeah and I threw some shredded cheese on top at the end :)
My second one was a Chocolate Crumb Cheese Cake bar that I found on the Pioneer Woman’s website, Click here for recipe!
Rachel and I LITERALLY left the pool to go make these Sunday!
…..This was the yummy crust! It taste just like a cookie!
Make the filling….
and it’s done!!
2 tips: Make extra of the crust because we barely had enough to cover the top.
Also, if you don’t like the taste of coffee DO NOT PUT IT IN AT ALL, the whole thing will taste like coffee if you do (I may sub peanut butter instead next time)
- For this reason Rachel and I both hated it!
However my company loved it and “accidently dropped” a lot of it on the “floor” too!!
Speaking of my company this week…. Laura also came to visit us!
Ohh how I miss my Miss Laura time!
This is so “ew” of me but it’s her favorite kind of pic!
It was a short trip but Laura was able to meet my MSW girlies, Ali and Shannon at Ali’s softball game and we found the perfect new STARBUCKS location for Laura to MOVE to!!
It happens to be less than a mile from Lou’s work, perfect! Her plan is to be here at the end of July but I will keep you all updated weekly seeing as that’s how often Laura’s life decisions have changed lately ;) Love you Laura!

Have I gone a whole blog and not mentioned THE babies?
No worries, I can put a stop to that right now!
As for Milly, she “saved” a yummy jar of peanut butter right before it went to the trash this week….
“All done mama” and this is when the fun starts for me….
They lick their lips for forever after they take the last lick of peanut butter… it’s hilarious!!
Tucker knows better than to get between Milly and food items that are not large enough for two snouts but he was the happiest baby in the world when I brought home a new duster from Ikea!
Who knew?!?!
Besides that it was the usual for them…. Sleeping, Sleeping and more sleeping!
Lou decided Mill’s sleeping schedule should be monitored….
(notice her watch) haha poor girl!
I have to share this note on sleeping though: sleeping is all they want to do UNTIL Lou calls a certain little girl to bed….
Mom and I stayed up until about 3 am each night she was here and the pups liked to stay out in the den with us…. So when Lou would call Milly to bed as my replacement to cuddle him she panicked!!
She would instantly run over to me and beg to get on the couch with me, refusing to look anywhere near the direction his voice was coming from! I found it to be similar to her pooping strategy, if she can’t see you- you can’t see her….. right Mill!
It’s almost the weekend again and I have big plans…. I bought knobs and more “ebony” oil to fix up a unfinished chest of drawers (still feels weird saying it the “right way”)! Very excitable! :)
