1st Time Missing The Dogs

Tonight as I was cooking supper and dropped the whole pan of hamburger on the floor as I was draining the grease, I missed the dogs. They would have had ate it up in a matter of seconds and tonight the cat just stared at it and at me while I had to clean it up. Oh well cleaning up a few messes once in a while still beats having 2 dobermans in the house :)

On a side note- at least the pan missed my foot :)

Here's another funny...

Jaiden is in love with american idol just about as much as I am. She gets a dress on and dances and pretends to sing while the contestants are. She was very anxious for Hollywood week to get over and them start singing on the "real stage". Tuesday night it was Ricky Braddy's turn and they were doing the "interview" thing that they do and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she says " Come on Ricky Bobby, get this show on the road, I've heard enough already". :) We were laughing so hard that she called him Ricky Bobby. I think she has watched or heard Talladega Nights too many times. Anytime we see the wonder bread store she asks if we think Ricky Bobby's house looks like that. She is obsessed!

Like Mother Like Daughter

So today I got to work parked the Tahoe and walked in. Then it was time to leave and I went out started the truck and put it in reverse and it died. I tried starting it and it just turned over but wouldn't start. I thought great what now. For those who don't know me and Eric work at the same place but drive separate. So I walked back into work to get Eric so he could figure it out. He came out and got in the Tahoe and tried starting it and he just gave me this look. He was very nice about it and said "Steph vehicles usually run better with gas" :) Yes I ran out of gas and didn't even realize it. Oops! So I took Eric's car and went to get gas and it runs great!

Jaiden had a moment today too. During our driving back and forth from work to get gas and back to work again for some reason she brought up playing with plastic bags. Just out of the blue she asked me " Why can't little kids play with bags and put them on their heads?" I told her that they would suffocate and of course she asked what that meant so I told her that they would stop breathing and then again she asks what would happen and I said they would die. So she sits there and soaks it in and then says "I am never going to put a plastic bag on my foot again cause I do not want my foot to fall off" ?? Sometimes I wonder :)

Gourmet Chef?

Jaiden loves to help me cook. Last night she got her gear on and we baked some valentine cupcakes. Cupcakes are her favorite!

Here she is in her gear that she got for Christmas

Here she is in action

And of course you have to try it out before you let anyone else eat it :)

Icing them

And the finished product. Well the first dozen. She doesn't have enough patience to bake and let the rest of them cool.

And they are delicious- She gives them a thumbs up!
