Traditions...

This year we're trying something new! We're making some of our very own Dutson-family-traditions. You see, this will be our 4th holiday season being married and sadly enough, we have yet to practice any sort of tradition.

We're both coming up with a tradition for each of the holidays. These traditions are sticking, so they better be good!

Let me share with you Halloween tradition #1

Brad's idea:

Thriller at Kingsbury Hall

{Leave it to Brad to recommend the dance production.}

So to Thriller we went. Such a good production,

and our company, Amy and Lee, weren't too bad either!

We're struggling to come up with Thanksgiving-ish traditions...

If you have any ideas, send them our way!

We Went To Hawaii...

A year and a half ago...

And I'm just now getting around to developing these pictures

we took with an underwater disposable camera.

Can you say procrastinator...?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Party Boy...

 We celebrated Jeffery's 3rd Birthday last week with a cheese burger from McDonalds.

About 3 years ago, Brad was trying every trick in the book to convince me into getting a dog. I've always loved dogs, but the thought of an indoor dog made me cringe. Accidents on the carpet, jumping on furniture, the smells...

I obviously buckled. After laying down some pretty strict rules, I agreed to getting a pooch. One night, I picked Brad up from the airport with our newest addition to the family sitting on my lap, Jeffery.

Now, I love him. I have personally broken every single one of those rules I laid out in the beginning. I'm a sucker for "The Jeffery".

Happy 3rd Boomer Boy!

Che[Mystery]...

In exchange for a passing grade in chemistry this semester, I would gladly...

1- Acquire the dreaded swine flu.

2- Give up Cafe' Rio for life.

3- Agree to a natural child birth.

You think I'm kidding...

Tis The Season

I really shouldn't be sharing recipes or giving any sort of cooking advice. I mean really, cooking is NOT my forte'.  But as the temperatures drop and being that it is already October, I though I might share this tasty and super idiot proof recipe with you.

3 Ingredients

{2} Boxes of spice cake
{2} Packages of chocolate chips

{1} Large can of pumpkin filling

 

{Okay okay, the recipe only calls for one bag of chocolate chips...
But who are we kidding, two is more tasty!}

 

Mix it up...

Bake at 350 degrees.
Large loaf {30} minutes

Small loaf {24} minutes

Ta-da!

 

Oh, almost idiot proof...
Don't forget to grease your pans!

Enjoy!
