Pardon the dust!

I just wanted to comment and say please pardon our dust, we have been playing with the layout and some of the buttons and such are askew at the moment, but hopefully we will be working on it tonight. :)

A preview of coming attractions...

This is gonna have to be the 1st post from me. The wife and I have been working on the design of the blog. Now, you know how life is. Everything else takes priority over projects like this. So, we finally had a little break and well... we got something done.

Mind you, I (being the kind of guy that I am) always design on the dark and moody side of things. So, when the wifey yells at... no.. sorry... tells me... to do bright and airy .. it's like getting a truck drive to learn ballet.

Via (BTW, not me)

So, with that mental image and without further adieu I present to you my trucker in a tutu design of a blog....

So, for tonight that's it folks. Give us your input, this is after all for your viewing pleasure.

Something Crafty?

I have a bunch of ideas running around in my head that I want to tackle while the hubs works on the branding/design of our little blog.  But I thought I would give you guys a sneek peek of one of them.  Im still need to find a couple of more items in order to bring this idea to fruition, but hopefully this week I can gather them all.

I picked this beauty up at Ikea this past weekend and let me tell you.....I HEART this frame so many possiblities!  But I have one specific place in my home I am thinking of for this project.  Wish me luck!

Hugs and Kisses!

Pizza Pizza Pizza!!

This weekend we did alot of repairing the big hole in the side of the house.  Thanks to my Dad and the Hubs they patched the hole pretty well and repainted so it looks like it never happened.

Other than that we made homemade pizza crust and pizzas for dinner.  I made a whole wheat crust from this recipe Pizza Crust Recipe came out awesome!

I made a spinach tomato and garlic pizza, on the whole wheat crust, and the hubs made a peruvian pizza....heheh he loves spicy food so he wanted to pay homage to his heritage.  He made a grilled chicken tomato and red onion pizza.

He sauted the chicken in aji amarillo paste, salt and pepper, and garlic, and then browned it and set it to the side, and then sauteed up some red onions and tomatoes in aji amarillo paste and salt until they where soft.  Then he layered sauce, chicken, italian shredded, cheddar shredded, and then the sauteed onions and tomatoes.

Me and little man had a couple of slices of the spinach and tomato and the Hubs ate his Spicy little number.  I tasted it and it was really good!  Gotta add that to our rotation :)

Well hope you guys had a great, restful or productive weekend as well!

Hugs and kisses,

Making a Bee line for the Door

Recently we have been missing a couple of days of posting in between our vaca and now, and I will explain why.  See when we came back from Disney my little man was sick, and of course I got it too so we where laying around drinking soup and getting better.  And well two days after returning (this past Tuesday) I was reading email and the little man was playing with his cars on the area rug, I heard buzzing.....hmmm how weird what is that.  I looked down and there was  a honey bee on the floor half paralyzed it seemed.  Now you have to realize i am terrified of bees, because when I was young I was stung by a wasp and it was not pleasant.

Well I smacked it with a piece of newspaper and scooped it up and threw it in the trash.  Then I heard it again, more buzzing. So I start getting paranoid, and searching the room, there in the window sil where 2 more bees crawling around on the marble.   AHHHHH I grabbed little man and my purse and ran to the car, and drove to my moms.....lol on my way out of the house I looked next to the garage to see a huge swarm coming out of the side of our house  AKKKK!

So I called the Hubs, and he told me to call out a Bee removal company.  I did great company called Bee Wise.  Marcel came out at took a look and said we had a swarm trying to move into our house.  So he proceeded to open a whole in the sofit on the outside of the house...... don't be surprised by the amount of bees, I almost fainted!  Check this out...

What a welcome home that is shhhheeeeessshhh. Well all I have to say is thank god for Marcel and Bee Wise....hehehe, the bees are gone, we let the house air out a bit from the spray.  And we are back home bee free.  This weekend me and the hubs will be repairing the hole.  

Love and kisses,

Ivette

P.S. After I called the hubs and told him, him being my Knight in Shinning Armour came home to meet with the Bee Guy and deal with the infestation.....thank god for my man too!

A Magical Week

Cj Happy a photo by Camere Photography on Flickr.

This is just a little preview of where we have been for the last week and a half. We took a well deserved mini vaca to Disney with the Little Man. He had such a blast and we loved spoiling him rotten....heheh

We also where able to spend very little money on the entire trip thanks to our time share, and making most of our meals except for lunch at the resort. So all the extra cash was mostly for gas and souvenirs for Little Man. I will be posting some more pics soon.

Also, gotta tell you guys about our run in with our new live in tenants when we got back........
