*Deals*

I called to order a 5 buck pizza last week & they gave me a total of 3 dollars and change-- so I asked them if I got my order right-- & sure enough they did. They said every Tuesday & Thursday in December a 5 buck pizza ($5.99) is 1/2 off ($2.99). What a deal- any number of toppings you want. I think their pizza is very good for the price, much better than Little Caesars.

Just passing along the savings on some yummy pizza!

Mom & Dad B-day dinner

A kid free dinner with the family to celebrate Mom & Pop's Birthdays.

I thought I had ordered this (What Nic got)

This is what I ended up with- A mushroom jack Fajita, a perfectly delicious mistake.

Me, my sister and my mom.

Monte & Clint

The guests of Honor.

We got 2 of these for the table- would you believe we had a hard time finishing off 2 plates of ice cream & brownies between 13 people.

Everyone that came minus Clint- He is taking the picture.

cake class, roses

We were learning different types of fondant roses.

Who knew there were so many different ways to make a rose.

They turned out pretty cool

Cassidy was very excited to know that we were going toeat this cake.

After we took the flowers off, there was a little bit of color staining. If you look really close, it looks like a face.

Things my dad taught me

Things I have learned from my dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

When trying out a new dessert recipe, add coconut.

This holds true for:

Rice krispie treats

Oatmeal marble squares

Oatmeal cookies

Chocolate chip cookies

Coffee cake

Chocolate frosting on chocolate cake

White frosting on chocolate cake

and many more...

As my friend Kim would say-- If I say I have a secret ingredient or that I tried something new with this recipe, it's usually coconut. She caught on pretty quick.

Throwing a sloppy joe across the table doesn't make it taste any better.

Add lemon pepper to any meat for additional flavor.

When going to church, fill your scripture bag with candy instead of books, no one will ever tell on you, because they are happy to eat the candy.

When you try a new recipe, you have to make it at least 5 different times, a different way each time to perfect it.

"Pull my finger" is a given phrase to anyone new to our family.

Everyone has 2 or 3 nicknames.

Just ask any family member, I bet they can name 5 for any given member with out much thinking. I am not going to list any ones, or my own, we'll see if anyone names them in the comments.

Clint Eastwood is a great actor, except in "Paint your Wagons"

Next runner up is Chevy Chase

Always make extra food, having too much is better than not having enough.

A rule I swear by.
