Swing Batter Batter Swing!!!

A couple weekends ago we went to the batting cages and mini golf with Matt, Britt, Mar and Andy. It was a lot of fun and a little nerve racking for me because I have never been in a cage where balls are flying at you ha ha(keep your jokes to yourselves please) I was really scared but once you do it it is not that bad and I actually hit a couple of them. Here are some pictures of all of us in the cages. Mine and Andys pictures would not turn for some reason so you might just have to break your necks for a minute to look at us.

I think that they were making fun of me in this picture.

All of my swings ended like this and it must of been good luck cause I did hit a few of them.

Matt showing us all how it is done.




I think that Jeff almost broke his arm a couple of times while doing this swing.

This is us just waiting for our turn and I have not idea why but I don't have pictures golfing or of Britt and Matt together. After our games we went and got some Slurpee's from 7-11 (I think the guy there hated us because we as in Jeff were making Slurpee messes). Then we went to Jordan High School and watched the Real Salt Lake fireworks that were pretty lame. It was a good time though but I always have a good time with these guys.

Syracuse Idol

My cute cousin tried out for Syracuse idol and of course she won. She has such a beautiful voice and such great stage presents that I don't know how they could not pick her to win. Jeff, April, Sarah and I decided to drive up to Syracuse to cheer her on and it was a blast. Here are some pictures of our time up there.

GOOD JOB KIERRA YOU ROCKED IT!!!

Cabin Weekend

A couple weekends ago our good friends Amber and Bert invited us to their cabin. It was a lot of fun and there were many first for me that weekend. I learned how to catch and gut a fish, I shot a gun for the first time and ate hobo dinners (which were yummy and mine were made out of basically all food storage products)

My hubby showing everyone how its done.My very first fish ever!!!


The gutting of the fish that was scary to me but I just knew that I would regret not even trying. I could not actually pull the stuff out because I just did not feel strong enough to do it both physically and mentally :)

There it is in a nutshell our great weekend it was so great to just do nothing all weekend that was life related and it was the first weekend in a long time that Jeff and I were able to spend with each without him heading to work. Thanks guys for inviting us.

Say What?!?!

Can I tell you what really got me excited about THRIVE food storage.

THE POWDERED EGGS!!

Imagine the possibilities really. I mean it is really hard to store eggs in food storage because they will go bad. You can buy two different sizes of cans one is a pantry can that holds sixty eggs or a bigger #10 can that hold 200 eggs. Some people prefer these eggs over fresh eggs because you can use them for everything like baking (you can eat the cookie dough, no salmonella), omelets, ham fried rice, you name it and you can do it with these eggs. Imagine how easy it would be to take these eggs camping with you. All you have to do is add 1 T of the powder and 2 T of water and you have yourself a whole egg.

If you want to throw a party and even just try these eggs out then give me a call or email me at kayleeneross@yahoo.com and you can get half off food or even free food just for hosting a party.

Exciting News!!!

I am one of the newest Shelf Reliance and Thrive consultants!!!

I am so excited about this I can not even tell you enough.

Anyone that really knows me know that I love love love food storage and I think that it is something so important to have in your home. Last year Jeff was laid off and even though we were fine and well fed during the whole experience I could not get the thought out of my head "What if we had a mortgage and a family to support right now?" I then did a whole bunch of research on food storage and found that it was so much easier then I had ever thought and you can actually get real food that you love. So for months I have been slightly obsessed and I started coupon shopping so that I could buy tons of food for dirt cheap and that still works for my family today but then I was introduced to Thrive and everything has changed. It is very inexpensive and they even have hundreds and hundreds of recipes that involve your food storage. They have a plan that you can figure out what food storage you need by entering some information about your family and then you choose a monthly budget and they will send the food directly to your home so you are slowly building your food storage and not even having to think about it. The great thing is that you can change your budget every month or put it on hold if you want to. You dont have to do a plan like this you can just buy your favorite items if you want. I am so excited and I am going to be having parties starting in June so if you are interested in coming or throwing a party please email me at kayleeneross@yahoo.com or call me. You get great benefits if you throw a party and what better then to come hang out and eat great food. You have to try it once and I promise you will be hooked.

DATE NIGHT

Jeff and I have had crazy schedules lately and we have not really seen each other a whole lot. So when we had the chance last weekend we had a date night just the two of us. We went for run first because we are trying to be runners or something ha ha. Then we got ready and went to dinner at Iggy's and thanks to Britt and Matt this has become one of my new fave places. We tried to take pictures and I think Jeff was a little embarrassed that the camera was out at a restaurant but I did not care. Jeff trying to be discreet. Our cute little family enjoying chick fil a milkshakes another one of our faves.

Look what is growing in my little back yard!!! I am so excited for the rest to come in.

Whats for dinner?

So the other night I really wanted chicken but I did not just want the normal ways Jeff and I make it so I went onto the food network website and found this awesome recipe. It is for Chicken Carbonara and it was yummy. Here is the link for the recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicken-carbonara-recipe/index.html

This recipe calls for this jar of cheese stuff and I did not have that so I just melted shredded cheddar cheese and milk and then poured that in and it worked out just fine. I do not think that the picture does it justice because it kind of looks like slop but trust me it is way good. It even smells fantastic while it is cooking because of the onions and bacon. Can you say YUM!!!!

I found these on a blog called Just cook already and they are Oreo cookies that are yummy also. Here is the website for these babies.
