Award Day!! Hold on to your panties .. oh wait that didn't sound right.

First off I totally left something off from my weekend wrap. As some of you know I started going to church, which usually I would cringe at the thought. I found a really great one down the street that you laugh during the sermon and they sing and dance! Yup I knew I found the place for me. Well this Sunday was a special day that had a blue grass group come for the day instead of a sermon. Cascade mountain Boys came and sang like no tomorrow, most of you that know me know I'm not a big country fan but I couldn't help myself from stomping my feet and clapping along. The songs were so uplifting and gave me chills just sitting there. Even though I did sit between the two bible study ladies that were not taking no for an answer. Really I love coming, I love the boys get a chance to play an I get some me time. I mean count me in for bake sales, helping at fairs etc but I'm just not ready for the bible study every Thursday from 7pm to 9pm. Give me a bit when the boys are older and I'm all there, but right now it just doesn't work. Well let's just say even at the end of the Sunday sermon they still won't let it down. I think next Sunday I'll go back to sitting with the older ladies ... LOL. Ok back to where I was going, you'll have to check out the Cascade mountain Boys I promise you'll be singing and clapping along. Now I've never seen a banjo up close and talk about an awesome time!

Weekend Wrap Wednesday ... Relaxing ... Well at least it was slower

Here we go it was a fun weekend as always! Friday on our way home Cole called my mom and so nicely asked "If you want we can come up and visit" .... LOL crack me up! So we headed up to my parents house. While the weather is going to fall there are a few days left to take the jet-ski out. Last year while on the jet-ski with my parents they flipped over. Cole has been freaked out with water ever since. So we've been trying to ease him back on, my parents even bought a new jet-ski that is bigger and we're hoping this would help him. At first he was all set to go and then when we went down to my parents water front he started to cry. We got him on and he went a little bit but came back very quick. When he came to get off, Caden walked over to Bapa and said "Me Me" ... LOL it was so freaking cute! So we put a life vest on him and off they went. He even drove it! The ducks even came over to visit, the geese were flying in a V and Mt. Rainier was looking gorgeous! Plus I love this plaque Mom has in her garden "Grow Damn it" ... LOL and she's the one that gave me the swear jar ... LOL

After Jet-Skiing we came in to a yummy meal mom made. She got these yummy kielbasa's and wrapped them in bacon, toasted the buns with tons of butter, of course added some cheese and then some yummy beans! Yeah I don't go there often for meals I would be even "fluffier" (as mom says to me ... LOL) . The boys planned dinos with "Bapa" and even swung on the swing in the sun porch and oh yeah ice cream, well Caden had fruit snacks he hates cold things! I even was able to sit back have a meal and a cup of coffee!!! Mom even added a little Baileys ... see my last post about wanting 10 minutes to myself, came true! Yeah :)

Saturday I actually sat in my PJ's almost the whole day, Cole played with the neighbor boy. Can I tell you how excited I am that they moved in? Caden and I chilled out, we tested out potty chair, then decided we didn't like diapers anymore! Well that was until I had to clean up a puddle ... sorry dude diaper on! Oh yeah our car got dirty, so he actually asked for a paper towel to wipe it off ... I know!

Then my garden is still going strong ... Yeah! Next year peppers all the way I have a bumper crop of them. And yes that is two different days I went out for a green pepper and peppers. One of them is the biggest green pepper so far it was big as my hand. And yes those are the first yellow ones that showed up! More eggplant showed up, I so need to make eggplant Parmesan. And yes that is the one lonely pumpkin that grew ... :( the rest look like that little one there! No clue what happened there!

Then I got a baking mood going on! I made some yummy things, recipes to come soon!! I made yummy Sour Cream Bread, I made some ribs love them @ the accidental scientist, a hot bean spread and egg salad (that went very yummy on my sour cream bread). That makes for one tired girlie :).

And Monday we had a field trip at an apple orchard by the house! Cole's Kindergarten class and the PreK class got to meet up. They had enough drivers, but I so wanted to go I could tell the teacher wasn't excited for me to show up but I need pictures. So I hook up my fancy GPS and off I go, threw all the construction ... hmmm maybe not the best day. Then I of course go down the wrong street, but I did see this amazing deer. I can't believe how sweet it was, it let me pull up slow down, fumble for my camera and just stood there staring at me. I'm tell you it gave me chills! I get to the farm to find one of the moms sitting there talking on her phone, ok well it wasn't like she was quiet she was rather loud. And she was not talking so sweet about some body! It was so fun, it took Cole a few minutes to see I was there, then he got a little over excited. Ok I guess I see why she didn't want me to come! The lady that did the talk I swear was 80, she ran and bent down and up better then I can! Oh boy I need to loose weight I'm telling you an hour of standing and my knee was killing me. It was a ton of fun and the two apples they were suppose to get turned into a bag full which Cole informed me "Mom you're making a pie right?" Yup I guess I am ;). So there it is my crazy weekend, and back to work I go. It's so slow there ... ugh!

(CLOSED) The Woman Who Named God (5 Winners)

I thought this would be perfect timing to tell you about another amazing book. I don't talk much about religion on my blog as it is something personal. I have mentioned that I have started going back to church and learning and growing with my new chapter in life. I was offered to read a new book that I thought would be a wonderful one to share and just the right timing to do so. The Woman Who Named God is an book that has a little of all put together for one. If you looking for a book with history and archaeology, stop looking here!

Charlotte Gordon book talks about Abraham's dilemma and the birth of three faiths. The three faiths being Jewish, Islamic Legend and Commentary. You'll be compelled to read more about Abraham and Sarah along with Hagar. The Woman Who Named God will draw you in with the myths, lust betrayal and the blessing that will touch you. Charlotte Gordon did a wonderful job writing this story "and provocative take on one of the Bible's most intriguing and troubling love stories."

Hachette Book Group description:

The saga of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar is the tale of origin for all three monotheistic faiths. Abraham must choose between two wives who have borne him two sons. One wife and son will share in his wealth and status, while the other two are exiled into the desert. Long a cornerstone of Western anxiety, the story chronicles a very famous and troubled family, and sheds light on the ongoing conflict between the Judeo-Christian and Islamic worlds.

How did this ancient story become one of the least understood and most frequently misinterpreted of our cultural myths? Gordon explores this legendary love triangle to give us a startling perspective on three biblical characters who--with their jealousies, passions, and doubts--actually behave like human beings.

(CLOSED) How to Tame A Modern Rogue Book Giveaway (5 Winners)

I have a new book for you romance lovers to enjoy! How to Tame a Modern Rogue is a modern day romance that will make you laugh and blush all at the same time. You'll fall in love with Ally Giordano that doesn't have the heart to tell her grandmother Donny that she is living in a dream world thinking her favorite Regency Romance Novel is true life. She even becomes convinced that she found the "Duke" for her "Spinsterhood" Ally.

It's comical, romantic and very sexy all wrapped up into one! For you who love to sit down with a good romance novel this is the one for you. Sometimes we just need a book to take us away from reality, I think what made me laugh and love this book is that Granny Donny does just that ... now I'm not saying taking it to that extreme with real life but well you know what I'm saying! Enjoy sometimes all we need is a good romance novel to cuddle up with.

P.S. As I learned with my great grandmother don't lend your book to someone who doesn't like romance novels ... LOL. She's wicked with a pencil and if she doesn't like a word in a book she'll return it to you with them marked out ... LOL. She was a kick!

(CLOSED) Julie & Julia Book Giveaway (5 Winners)!!!

I'm so EXCITED to share with you a book I love! I grew up with a mom who LOVED Julia Child she would recreated the yummy recipes we would see on TV. We would joke around the kitchen in our Julia Child voice and take in the wonderful smells all around us. This is one of the most found memories I have from my childhood.

Julia Child may not have changed my life but she did effect it in the most positive way. Today I'm not a gourmet chef but I take pleasure in the meals I make and even throw in a few of hers! Now again I'm far from my mom's caliber who could take on Julia's recipes that and her Bon Appetite Magazines, but I'm working my way there!

If you've seen the movie or haven't yet you NEED to read Julie and Julia. You will laugh you will cry and you'll just fall in love with these amazing characters. Pull out a comfy seat, grab a cup of Joe or whatever you would like to drink and read this book. After reading it you will be inspired to cook and make wonderful things!

Julia Child was an amazing woman that I have enjoyed reading about and have watch some amazing programs about her life that touched me, you should check it out! I promise you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I'm so excited to be able to share with you this book, 5 of readers will have the opportunity to read and LOVE this book also. Once you read it get inspired post your amazing recipes/life whatever and pass along this book to inspire more people around you!

Whats Runs thru my mind ... Hold on!

It's just been one of those weeks so I thought I would share with you some fun things and all the random things that run thru my mind ... LOL :). I know I was a little scared to, but you all know I'm a little batty by now anyways ... haha.

Ok planting all these peppers was a good idea but that means you have to have peppers in at least 3 meals a week.

Check it out my first red pepper!!! It's HUGE!

This is what happens when you don't feel like making dinner.
Throw a bunch into a pan and hope everyone likes it!
Ok I'll list it!
Ground beef (I buy in bulk), Kidney beans, black beans, pepper from the garden, tomatoes, tomato paste and some taco seasoning! LOL really it was good.

I can't wait Grey's Anatomy is back!
So if you are a dish subscriber you know that last November we lost the contract with ABC. Ok that's fine, well not if you like Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice. Yup we missed most of the season yes I said we Rick actually likes both of these also! Thankfully Lifetime replayed Grey's but no luck on Private! So I'm so excited to watch the new season!

A book I really want to read.
It's on my library Audio wish list!!

Ok I'll admit it I judge a book by it's cover. I saw this audio book on Library New and thought oh why not that looks like a cool cover I'll try it. Ok I'll admit it I have no clue about the Hills or LC, Rick had to inform me what it was (I know clueless) and yes he watches it!!! So I had no clue that this was her book or that she read the audio version. And even funnier I liked it, go figure :).

Ok I'm in love with this new show.
Dancing, singing and drama!
Can you say Fame?
Oh wait they even made a movie about that!
Yup HOOKED!

What happens when Alexis is sick and her hair is driving her nuts!
She grabs a rubber band (not the nices to pull out) and I throw it up.
Sad to say my hair is not long enough so I have this poof with hair sticking up everywhere!
Can you say professional? Hey everyone else is not following the dress code I can let my hair go crazy right? Ok just while I'm sick.

A while back (explains the blonde blonde hair) my mom made me dinner, gave me wine and let me read my book on her front deck while the boys and her hung out inside!
The best 30 minutes I've had in a long time!!!
I'm putting out a call for this again, please!!! LOL

Now go have fun and check out my giveaways if you get a chance! Plus I plan to put up another 3 or 4 this weekend. I'm trying to catch up! Muah, I'm out of here, I need to read so more books!
