Chiefs vs. Broncos

I bought Brady tickets to the Chiefs/Broncos game for his birthday.  We are huge Manning fans so it was awesome to be able to see him.  I just wanted to post a few pictures from our trip.  And I have to give a huge shout out to Janelle for letting us crash at her place!  Enjoy the pics!

2012 Garden Final Numbers

Below are the final numbers for my garden. My strawberry plants still look awesome but they produced NOTHING!  My pumpkins were killed by some bug so I did not have the pumpkin patch that I had been dreaming of. I have to admit that I intentionally let my garden die.  Brady and I went on vacation and I had to return to work the day we got back from vacation.  Back to school can be busy so I just stopped watering my garden knowing it would kill it in a few days.  For the most part it worked.  Since it was dying I did not bother with keeping the weeds out.  So that is why there are no pictures for this post...well unless you want to see my awesome ability to grow weeds.  The dogs are enjoying their new  play space!  One last admission, my onion and potato numbers are really low because I could not find them in the weeds.  I am really embarrassed to admit that!

Sweet potatoes-0
Bell peppers-7

Candy Bouquet

Brady and I celebrated our 6th anniversary about a week ago.  Each year I try to get him a gift that matches the traditional gift of each year.  Well this year was candy!  I made Brady a Candy Bouquet.  It was really easy.

Nothing says love like a candy bouquet!


Supplies:
Green Foam Blocks
Craft Sticks
Hot Glue/Gun
4 boxes of candy
any type of candy bars (you can decide how many to put in)

I glued the boxes of candy to the foam blocks.  Then I glued the craft sticks to the candy bars.  After the glue sets on the candy bars you can just place the candy bar sticks into the green blocks.  I added Easter grass just to make it a little prettier!

Vanilla extract



I made my own vanilla extract a few weeks ago  Here are the directions:

In each quart jar, I split 3 vanilla beans.






I filled one of the jars with vodka and the other one with bourbon.



 You seal the jars and let it sit for 3 months!


I will give you an update in 3 months after I try it!
