Family Fun Friday- picnic at the park

I've been thinking hard about this one,
even maybe doing photo friday instead of wordless wednesday.
For now though I'll give it a try.
2 weeks ago we hit the lake, we made it a 'manditory' family fun day.
I totally forgot the camera, of course.
It was fun though, nice and quite, a little bit of swimming & a small picnic.
Then last Friday with it being A's birthday we went bowling.
Again family fun friday :)
This leads us to today.
We had a picnic planned at the park but things got changed around abit.
So I treated the kids to BK & we hit the park still.
It may not be completely fun fun fun but we were together, outside, eating & playing.

Positive Thinking Thursday ~ Yoda

My little reminder to do the above.


Here we have our new puppy,
he's alittle under a year & needs alot of work.
I was told he's a Jack Russel but I think he may be part Rat Terrier too.
He seems to be a free running no boundaries ball of energy kinda dog.
We are working with him.
Time & patience.
One day at a time.
Positive thinking that the lovely Yoda will come around.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Lunch on the Patio

Tasty Tuesday ~ Biscuit Bites

J's creation & new favorite

Biscuit Bites

Follow directions on the Bisquick box for cheesy drop biscuit mix
instead of dropping onto a pan drop them into a lightly sprayed cupcake pan
before backing sprinkle all w/a pinch of salt, pepper, thyme

While baking, get the following out
Sliced ham, Grape jelly

Tear or chop up your sliced ham and heat up in a small skillet

When biscuits are done let them cool for a bit

slice in half (like a roll)
drop a small dollop of jelly on one side
then add a small spoon of ham

close & eat & enjoy

super hot!

We 96 today, so not fun, we were all miserable.
I am one to open blinds & windows and get fresh air going through the house.
Not today.
When in GA I was lucky 2 months out of the year Mar & Oct. I thought wow to live in WA I can have the windows open all the time.
Wrong.
96! I couldn't even breath outside.
The poor dogs, I would only let them out for a few mins at a time.
The kids were turning around all kooky in the house because they couldn't get out.

Putting this on the Calender

I will post daily again!
Starting tonight!
I miss you dear blog :(
I totally flopped again & I honestly don't know why.
I really liked keeping track each & every day of our sometimes crazy, boring, fun, happy, sad lives.
Alot has happened over the past weeks, some I could post about, some I shouldn't, some are memories now only in my head.
Here is to a self challenge....
I will post daily/nightly !!

Also I really want the recipe page to be in full swing, It's getting there at snail pace :)
Maybe a birthday page will be in the works too ????
