New Cooking Website

Ok so I found this website that is now my favorite cooking website out there. The website is called supercook and it is amazing. You enter in all the ingredients that you have in your fridge and pantry and it will spit out recipes that you can make using those ingredients you listed. It is awesome because sometimes I buy this huge bottle of something and then the ONE receipe only requires like 2 tablespoons of that ingredient and it just sits in the pantry or fridge after that. Well not anymore becuase now I can type it into here along with other things that are in the pantry and fridge and wala I have something new to make. I hope that helps some of you by giving you new ideas and the ease of not having to search through a book to find a recipe that you have everything for. Enjoy!!!

Update

So I know I haven't wrote very many posts this month but I have been super busy getting ready for school, working, training Aggie and getting ready for FOOTBALL SEASON. I know that I had to get everything done I wanted done in the house for the next six months before football started because once that happens Chantz is out for six months, ha! Our tv is already glued to NFL Network and we are always watching a preseason game, sorry Dalton not as much Sponge Bob and Diego. I love football season because that means FALL is coming!!!! All my favorite holidays are not that far off now....

Aggie is doing better. He is still biting some and chewing but for the most part he is now understanding when I get my firm "Aggie" out that means quit what you're doing. But not all the time because sometimes he just looks at you and then goes right back to doing it like "what are you going to do about it". I read that puppies aren't really "trained" until they are around 6 months so that is what I'm asking for from Santa this year:) Let Aggie wake up Christmas morning and be fully trained!!! We just bought some Apple Bitter spray to try for him to stop the chewing because he started chewing the carpet and entertainment center and those are big No Nos. I'll keep you updated on how that goes with the spray.

Work has been super busy lately which is WONDERFUL. I work for an oil company so with the current status of our economy the busier we are the better we are. Today marks my one year working with BJ and I love it!!!! I am so lucky that I am able to work for BJ. I have the best team of coworkers in my group and they are so supportive which is always a plus. School started yesterday!!! Hooray, I am so thrilled:) It is one semester closer to finishing my degree. Luckily, I seem to have great teachers and the classes that I've chose to take don't seem like they will get too overwhelming for me which is what I was afraid of. This is my first semester to go to school while having Dalton so I am a little nervous I won't be able to make time for everything but so far so good.

We keep getting more and more excited about Disney!!!! It's almost just one month away and we watch the dvd of all the parks like twice a week. I can't wait to go on vacation and be away from everything and just enjoy time with my family. We are still deciding where to stay for the first night before we get to our resort. I think it's between the nickelodeon hotel and the animal kingdom hotel. If anyone knows anything about either of these hotels please let me know so you can help us make a decision. They both look like great hotels but the decision is so tough!!!!

Two In One

Yesterday we decided to go to Sonic since Dalton had finished all of the dibs and we wanted some ice cream but didn't feel like fighting the lines at Walmart on Monday nights. We didn't want to put Aggie in his crate since he had been in there all day so we decided to take him with us since we were only going through the drive thru. We made Aggie ride in the backseat with Dalton and all of the sudden Chantz and I hear Dalton laughing and we look back and Aggie is sitting on top of Dalton in his car seat!!!! It was hilarious. I couldn't believe that Dalton wasn't yelling or trying to make him get down off of him but instead he was laughing and peting Aggie. I finally made Aggie get down because I don't mind it right now since he's only 15 pounds but when he weighs 110 pounds he will not be able to do that. So we had a fun ride to Sonic with two in one seat!!!!

Favorite Vacation Spot

Ok so this week kelly'skorner is hosting show us your life favorite vacation spot. It is so very hard to pick just one favorite vacation spot. Chantz and I did most of our traveling before we were together so unfortunatley we haven't been to each other's favorite vacation spot yet. Chantz's is definitley Australia. He went there with some of his friends in the Army several years ago and had a blast. I don't have any pictures of his vacation because my husband hates taking pictures and I was not on this vacation with them. I will post a picture though of where they were at.

I do have one funny story to share about his trip though that really makes me laugh everytime I hear it. My husband is one of those macho men that think they can handle anything and don't fear anything. Well while he was in Australia his friends wanted to go surfing. So my husband got his wet suit on and was rubbing that stick on his surf board when he noticed these balls floating on the water and he asked one of the locals what they were. They told him these were shark nets to keep the great whites out of the area that they were going to be surfing in. My husband stood up dropped his board took off his wet suit and he was done. Ha, that was his surfing experience. He asked the guy more about the shark nets later on and it's crazy he said that in order to make sure there are no holes or anything in the nets there is actually people who go down and check the nets daily. So my husband said "what a great job you get to go check the nets for holes and you see a big hole and you're like oh there's a hole here and you look up and the damn thing is right in front of you". Bottom line I have to BEG him to get into the water now at any beach that we go to. We are going to Florida in October to go to Disney World, however one day I want to go to Cocoa beach to visit my family that lives there and I want Chantz to go in the water with Dalton and I. We will see how lucky I get;)

Now for my favorite vacation spots...I absolutley LOVE Manhattan. I got to stay there in the Radio City Apartments right across from Radio City on Broadway for a week and a half in 2006. It was amazing. I love watching movies too where I can see the place I stayed and know I was standing there before. Corny, I know:) If I want to go on a shopping vacation this is definitley my favorite place to go. Duh, it's shopping central, ha!!!! While I was here for a week I went to the empire state building, Grand Central Station, central park, two broadway plays and most of the time SHOPPING!!!! It was my graduation trip and my Uncle took me for my graduation present. It was amazing and I had so much fun. In the middle of our vacation in the city we actually left on a cruise out of the city down to Bermuda, Tortola and St. Thomas. Tortola was my favorite probably because of the excursion that we went on. We went on a catamaran which anchored about 500 feet out from shore and we had to swim to shore of this little bity island that is right off of Tortola and get a tour inside the beautiful caves that were there. While I was swimming in this beautiful water I saw sting rays about 50 feet below me at one point and it was amazing to watch them. I did wear my coral fish bikini just in case there were any sharks out there I would blend in with the ocean and wouldn't get eaten, ha! I didn't wear my scuba flippers because I almost drowned last time I tried to wear those things in Grand Cayman (on my first cruise in 2002). The tour guide kept telling me "ma'am these really are necessary" and I told him "look do you want me to drown out there" He thought I was crazy, ha. They just weigh me down way to much and they don't help me swim any faster so I think they are a waste. While I was relaxing just laying in the water on the sand tanning I was jostled by two of my friends that came running up towards me yelling omg we just saw a baracuda. Their mom loves to go snorkling so they wanted to try it out and took their underwater camera to take pictures next to fish. Well Kristin was getting close to a fish to take a picture with it when her brother Ryan grabbed her a jerked her away. She got so mad and he was like are you an idiot that is a baracuda. So right after they start telling me this the tour guide yells everyone back to the boat it's time to go back. Knowing that this baracuda is out there swimming around just waiting to eat me I just kept my head above the water and swam as fast as I could. I didn't want to see if it was coming at me:):) I am still here though so it didn't eat me and I have no idea if I ever came near it while swimming, ha!!! Besides the crazy fish it was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. And I have been to some pretty beaches, cozumel, key west, the virgin islands, and miami but this one was the best. The sand was white and fluffy and the water was crystal clear like a swimming pool. I would love to go back and this time with Chantz and Dalton but Chantz would probably just sit on the sand and watch, ha!!!

I'm going to post all my pictures of my graduation trip as soon as I get on the other computer that has them all. For now I'll just post some of the places themselves.


This is a picture of St. Thomas beaches which were beautiful too I just liked tortola better:)
This is Radio City, our apartment we stayed in was directly across from it.

This is the beautiful Tortola, see how white the sand is and the water is like a pool.

This is Broadway street the street that we stayed on basically the whole time while there. Our hotel (Radio City Apartments) was right off of this road, it's so pretty at nightime!!!!
This is the whole city of Manhattan at night with all the lights, absolutley beautiful.

And Last but not least this is Bermuda. While we were here it was rainy so I didn't like it to much. I'll have to go back when it's sunny and then I'll probably enjoy it!!!!

A lot of Different Things

First please pray for Dr. Alan G Moore. He has been my obgyn for a while now and I just recently received a phone call stating that he retired early due to having a mild stroke. I know my family as well as other patients and their families will miss him dearly. He is the best obgyn I have ever had by far. He is truly an amazing man and I loved that his office was always filled with military things being that my husband is in the Army. Also, he was so into his faith and there was always a very calm soothing assured feeling that you would get when walking into the office. This was very nice for me while I was pregnant because as anyone who has been pregnant knows alot of things run through your mind constantly and you are a nervous wreck especially towards the end of your first pregnancy. His whole office staff is great at making you feel comfortable and confident going into labor and delivery. We wish him the best and hope that his health improves.

On a brighter note, Dalton had been very sick latley for the past two weeks with the runs:( He could not have a formed diaper for anything and it was really starting to worry us. The doctors were at a loss as to what was going on and this past weekend it was looking that it was turning worse. He had a fever and was very lathargic and falling all over the place. BUT.......I just talked to his babysitter this morning and she said HE HAD TWO REGULAR STOOLS YESTERDAY!!!!! Hooray we are so happy for him that this is finally leaving his little body. He did fall on the driveway this weekend FACE FIRST from being so dizzy like and it left a bruise the size of a silver dollar right on the front of his head but luckily that is too going down and starting to fade away. I keep telling him "no more booboos" I hate seeing him hurt or in pain but I know everyone keeps telling me this is just the beginning.

And for the last big annoucement.....Chantz has decided to shave his head!!!! I can't believe it and I won't believe it until I get home from work today and see it with my own two eyes. I'll post some before and after pictures hopefully sometime this week so you can see the difference:0)

I know I haven't posted in a while or put any pictures up but I still can't find my camera cord and I hate putting them on the computer upstairs that has the memory card stick insert because then I can't be near my family, I like the laptop better so I'm still searching!!!;)
