Ribbon Barrett's 80's Retro

So this last week, I had a brain thought...remember the ribbon barrett's in the 80's that were so popular and you wanted one in every color?!  I remember my dad got me one pair, purple and I wore it with EVERYTHING..yes, everything. Since cheerleading is starting again, I thought it would be cute to make one for my daughter. Wouldn't you know after some research, these have come back and people are buying them!
So, here are some pics of the one's I've done so far. If you would like one, you can visit my Etsy store and relive the memories!

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Well, today has been a carb day. Wednesday my back went out and I've been in severe pain and a tad bit...well, maybe a little more than tad, cranky. After playing around online, I came across this recipe. And, since today is THING 1'S 10TH BIRTHDAY, I thought I'd have a great excuse to try this out! Happy Birthday you precious perfect boy! I love you to Pluto and back.


Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Ingredients

1 box of yellow cake mix (1 pound)
4 ounces of butter, melted
3 eggs
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 pound (16 ounces) of powdered sugar
1 tsp. of vanilla extract

Prepare

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the base first: mix together cake mix, butter and 1 egg.

3. Pat into pan, create an even layer.

4. Make the ooey gooey layer: Cream together the cream cheese, 2 eggs, sugar and vanilla.

5. Pour gooey layer over cake layer, spread to edges.

6. Bake for 45 minutes* or until edges are golden brown, center should be a creamy yet solid consistency like cheesecake or heaven.

7. Cool completely in pan before cutting into 1-inch sqaures with a clean, dry knife. For best square results, pop into freezer and chill before slicing.

My Amazing Crazy Weekend

Well, of course this weekend was Father's Day! I am so completely blessed to have the most amazing husband in the world. He is my rock and the best daddy any kid could ever have. I know my sons will grow up to be men I am proud of and that my daughter will know and accept a man only like her daddy. They will be strong individuals that have confidence in themselves because of him. I couldn't be prouder. Here is what the girl did to daddy...



This weekend was also part of the District Tournament that our boys' baseball team is in. We are #2 in our District unless we win tonight, then we'll be #1!! If we win, we have to play the same team AGAIN right after that! Gesh...I'm already STRESSIN' out!!! But, since we are definetly #2 we are going to State, baby!! I am so proud of these boys, but most proud of my son. He has always 'shown' up and played his hardest and best. His team voted him All-Star, so that shows you how amazing he is..and, well...he's my son, so he automatically gets #1 in my vote! Look at him...he's so awesome!!


My hubs and Thing 1 laid down the tile in the living room and it looks amazing! Hopefully, Hubs will finish grouting it and the carpet can get ordered.

Foosball signups was this weekend and I am NOT the most excited person. I tried and so did the Hubs to deter him, but nope...he loves the adrenaline and the sport. I just have to keep my faith strong that the Lord will protect him and the rest of the boys. And, they will be going shopping for all the things you can buy to protect him. Hello, Hibbett...you shall see the Visa soon!!!
Now, I must prepare for Thing 1's bday that is Friday...I can't believe he will be 10...:( I also just seemed to notice that he's GROWN...heck, when did that happen?!
Oh, well, now time to schedule my hectic week...need more coffee!

A Little Pics to Put A Smile on Your Face


Well, we should be getting our check for all the damages today or tomorrow. I'm so excited now that I get to go shopping and do some remodeling on our house. With all that's been going on I haven't been able to post all I want! Here are some funny things that has happened this week:


Daddy has introduced Thing 2 to the wonderful world of Coke. I know what you're fixing to say, but note he only gives him maybe 2-3 small sips of it here and there! As soon as little dude see's the Coke can, he starts pointing and laughing..he's obviously addicted already! Note the diaper..it's not your imagination, he had just figured out how to take the left side off!


After the 3rd time of trying to put the diaper back on we had to put his pants back on because he kept putting his hands in his diaper! Ha ha!!



Thursday, I had let him out of the play area because he was yelling. I thought the other two kiddos were watching him while I was in the kitchen. I noticed all was quiet and asked the kids what they were doing. Watching TV, momma. Hmmmmm...."What's Thing 2 doing?" "We don't know, momma. We thought he was with you." Double hmmm...
So, here we all go looking for him and find him in my bathroom. As soon as I can in he jumped and started yelling. Hahaha...little fart knew he was in trouble. I went and looked and this is what I found 1/2 a roll of toilet paper and his favorite truck.

A River Runs Through It

Glad to be back to the land of the computer and Cloud! The rooms and hallway are finally dry after 6 fans blowing for 3 solid days. The noise was getting on all of our nerves. The water got all in our daughters room, the hallway and all the way into the living room. I was mainly worried about the damage to the entertainment center. But, it was ok.
The awesome news out of all the damage is that we're getting new tile, carpet and hardwood floors. God always works it all out even better than we anticipated. Here are some pics just for fun.

Some of the fans

The massive entertainment center my The Hubs custom built for me. The water heater was on the other side of the wall.


 Took 4 guys to move the thing

Good-bye hardwood floor and carpet in the girls room.
