Best DADA Ever

Today T and I spent the morning making pancakes, singing, and dancing waiting for R to get up. After making the yummy pancakes we thought it would be wonderful to make a little cake for dada. We had seen this idea on martha stewarts website and thought it would be fun to make the top of the cake to look like the 16th hole from the masters (its a theme for our lives really). I whipped up the ingredients for a carrot cake only to find out to late that we are all out of carrots! Being in to much a rush to actually go get some, I just used coconut flakes that I had. It turned out to be pretty good, I also added in butterscotch chips and walnuts. The blue icing is obviously the pond, the green and tee are dyed coconut, the little sand traps are grahmcraker, and a little toothpick flag for the hole. We ate that for a late breakfast and headed out to enjoy the sum what sunny day. When we got home we grilled up some wonderful steak, baked some potatoes, and caramelized some onions. It was a fabulous meal only to be topped off by a fabulous desert, raspberries and strawberries in marionberry ice cream (brought to us by our lovely neighbors). I believe he had a delightful first fathers day.

Thank you R, you are the best father I have ever known!

*I also made him a bathing suit which I will have to post later. We didn't have time for pictures.

divot

I am STILL unpacking our house... you really don't realize how much stuff you have until you move. I for some reason have saved the sewing room for last, prolly because it has the most stuff. I plan to get it all set up soon. I do have a lot of crafts to get on with. I was sitting and thinking that I wouldn't get to blog for awhile if I don't get it unpacked, then I went out side to enjoy the sun with Bruno and T, I noticed that Kenny Perry's divot from the 16th tee at the masters is growing. We were handed this by Terry the Fore Caddy we made friends with. We didnt expect anything to happen so it was exciting to see it growing! It's like we have our own little piece of the masters, from the spot where we started our lives as a couple.

Masters Moon Pie

At the masters golf tourney you can eat a great meal for about $3.50. Its amazing!! I found this masters moon pie in my hip bag's pocket the other day and was excited to have it as a snack outside of the masters. They offer basic sandwiches and other snacks along with beer and soda. The best combo is to put the chicken breast sandy on the pimento cheese sandy, YUM! I believe my mom came up with that combo. One of the mornings I was there around 6am they were serving breakfast and I decided to put the sausage from the sausage biscuit on the egg salad sandy..... It was delicious!! So if you every find yourself there try these combos, you will be happy you did! Here are a few of the pictures we took from the practice round on wed. april 8th.

So... we made it safely to my sisters house after a weekend of fun in Augusta, GA where we watched the Masters. It was a great game this year, 3 way tie for first with the argentinian, Angel Cabrera, winning in the playoff. We had so much fun! If you were watching, you may have seen us on the 16th tee (yes we like to sit on the very spot we got engaged every year we go). Today we took the kids to get pictures taken in our matching easter outfits. It did not turn out so great.... C (3yr old niece) did not want to be there or wear her dress for that matter. So we are going to try agian when mom-mom is around to distract her. That explains my WWW for the day. Baby T and I dressed in our matching outfits.

anniversary

4 years ago today I was sitting at the 16th tee at the Masters between rounds with my boyfriend, he looked like he was going to pick something up off the ground and was going to get his pants dirty so I told him to stop. He said wait wait, got down on one knee and asked "mary will you make me merry and marry me?" pulled out a ring box and opened it! I was so excited I pulled the ring out and put it right on my finger, I forget now if I even bothered answering...he could tell from the joy he caused that it was "Yes." 3 years ago today I was getting ready to walk down the aisle at the church I had once upon a younger time mopped the the entire floor of. It was a beautiful rainy day and from my point of view the best wedding I have ever been to! Today we got to take our baby T to the spot where R asked me to marry him. It was a beautiful sunny day and once we dropped baby T back home with a babysitter (first time, I was a reck) we walked the course for the last day of the practice rounds. We all had a blast and it was amazing to see all the pros play with there wifes and children. Now it is time to sleep!! We are worn out from a wonderful day. Happy anniversary R!
