Iron Chef Tim

Yahoo it is Spring Break!!! Fun....and to start it off Iron Chef Tim does some great BBQing...to bad I don't like meat ;o( Here is his wonderful fixing to his Grilled California Avocado B-L-T Burgers with Caramelized Chipotle Onions....You have your hamburger...not just any hamburger this has some secret ingredients...the hot dogs are for the kids...you have tomatoes and lettucesA special sauce, (secret ingredients that I can not share ), that goes on the bun before any of the other yummy things.....Some caramelized onions...which seemed to go over great.Some grilled avocado...which also was a hit....There was bacon also but I forgot to get a picture of that sorry all ;o)Here is all the fixing except for the sauce and the bacon...Yep even the jelly bellies went on....just kidding!Here is two starving kids waiting for some food....even though theirs doesn't take as long to get ready they had to wait..... John was the first to get his built...you can't see the bacon resting on the top of the pile...what a nice looking hamburger..

Flat Megan wanted to sit by Tatem and share her french fries. Notice Tabitha's hamburger...it is a lot smaller than the rest...no lettuce, tomato , avocado or onions for her...she is almost as bad as me ;o)

Flat Megan said ....wow these hamburgers in Idaho are way to big for me ;o)
Ok time to eat...everyone take a bite.....what??? what happened to our deal, you all said on the count of 3 we agreed????? Ha,ha,ha
Do over....here is the real one....Yummmy!!

On Sunday Iron Chef, BBQ ribs....look at that he is still in his Sunday best...what a great guy!!
Look at all those yummy ribs....

After dinner resting....watching March Madness...but wait there is something I want to show you....I have no idea what they were watching on the laptop but even the two kids were enjoying it so I had to snap a picture!!!

Life back to normal....Tim had to work so Spring Break is just another week on the home stead....but he has big plans for some more fun cooking experiments this weekend!! Ha,ha,ha!

We did take Tatem out to her birthday lunch on Tuesday and she was mad because they sang Happy Birthday to her and it wasn't her birthday!! Can't believe she is four. Ok back to the book, The Host...weird book but can't put down. Ha,ha,ha!

What's in your fridge????

Ok all ....I saw this on my niece & nephew's blog and thought it was a fun idea ;o)

So lets see what you all have in your fridge. In other words I tag you all!!! Fun!

We have a bunch a good for you stuff...green beans on the top but those are for the dogs...so are the hot dogs in the door ;o) Look at that homemade salsa, all those fruits and veggies...YumOk for this fridge....yes we have two....we figure after 28 almost 29 years of marriage and after raising 3 kids we should be spoiled a little....so here is the good stuff we keep hidden....Pop lots and lots...try to only buy when it's on sale...V-8 juice yum.... and then Tim hit a sale on ice cream....50 cents a box so we have lots and lots of ice cream!!! Yum!!! But there is some scones and chicken rice bowls in there also! And maybe a few mini pizza's but you can't see them!!! If you look close at the caffeine free diet pepsi...you will see the can is bulging....seems the caffeine free is the only one that explodes when it get to cold...at least in our fridge!! I find that interesting!

Can't wait to see what you all have in your fridge.....

Spring is here....or is it???

Yahoo it appears that spring is here...here is a picture of some of my tulips coming up? This was taken on Feb 28Th

What is that in the middle of those weed looking things....is that a crocus in bloom??? Two or three of them? Once again picture taken on Feb 28Th. Yep if you look hard you can see some more...and those are not weeds they are some kind of wild flower.... crazy blooming on Feb 28...what is up with that

This following pictures were taken on March 5...if you look at the house you can see snow flakes.

Lets take one facing the sky....see if they show up better??? Yep a little bit

One of the deck so you can see it is snow and not rain...

One with Daisy so you can see once again the snow.....

And I can't forget one with Kollie and snow ;o)

So is Spring here or not???? I didn't get any picture of it all over the ground but I think we ended up with at least 1 inch of snow that night if not 2 inches... Crazy!

I posted 4 post today so make sure you look at them all ;o)

Can I watch a movie???

So Caleb's mom and dad think he only wants to come over to our house is because we let him watch movies....you know Lion King, Dumbo, Ice Age...the good ones....But here is some pictures to show the real reason he likes to come over....First he can get into the "Warm" Tub. And can stand on the bottom all by himself!! He can stand on the seat and have his little heart out of the "warm" water....but boy is that cold!!

And he can sit in the cool down sit and be just fine...he even has a boat and a duck....Fun

Second...we have this great ottoman that he can stand on...and look really tall.....

And from that ottoman he can jump to the couch and fly like superman!!!

It is way to much fun....here I come again mom!!! Of course he has to do it a ton of times before grandma can get the picture just right ;o)

And third you can't forget the dogs....Caleb loves the dogs. He likes to lay down by them

And hug them....good dog ;o)

Here Caleb and Daisy are just chilling....funny kid reminds me of his brother..

And of course Daisy needs a hug also ;o)

Now can I watch a movie??? ;o)

Got Sprinkles???

Just wanted everyone to see how many sprinkles were left after Grandpa ate Tatem's sugar cookies for Valentines Day....yum!!

Don't worry Tatem....grandpa ate them all ;o)

Whoops....

Well most of you know that I do not have a fence around my yard....my dogs are boundary trained so they know they can not leave the yard... Well the old one does have a tendency to sneak out on us from time to time...the younger one has never done it and she is 4 now. Ok on with the story....the other day I let them out and went on about my business. After about 20 minutes to 1/2 hour I noticed that they had not came back in yet ( yes they know how to open the door), and my first thought was...they took off... the pup got brave and followed Kollie out of the yard. I ran to the back door....and this is what I saw...no worries ;o)
