Reese Cup Love

 

What you'll need:

Cupcake Liners

Reese Cups

No Bake Cheesecake Mix

Chocolate Chips or PB Chips (I used both)

 

 

I wanted to make my Mom a dessert that she'd love for Mothers Day and with our busy schedule, I didn't have a whole lot of time.  I turned to Pinterest & found this recipe.  It was so, so easy.  You place the Reese Cups in the bottom of your cupcake liners, mix the No Bake Cheesecake by the instructions on the box.  Pour over the Reese Cups & top with Chocolate & PB Chips.  Cool for a few hours and they're ready to enjoy!  Easy, peesy, just the way I like it :)

Vacation Shenanigans (Perdido Key)

We did quite a few other things besides just rest our bums on the beach all week.
Creag & I took the girls on Vacation in 2010 to Gulf Shores & we went to the Hang Out for the first time.  We thought it'd be cool to take all of the kids there again.

 

 

 

We saw the Blue Angels show at the Naval Base & had lunch at the Rib Shack afterward.

 

 

We celebrated Ellery's 4th Birthday & watched the Kentucky Wildcats in the Final Game of the Final Four.  Unfortunately they lost.  Can't win 'em all right?

 

 

We had Ice Cream.

 

 

Had Oysters at the Flora Bama.

 

 

 

 

 

And had a celebratory dinner with the whole family.

 



 

 

And our last night in town we played a little Putt-Putt.

Family Vacation (Spring Break)

 

This Spring Break was definitely one to remember.  It was spent in one Beach House, with Creag's family in celebration of Dave & Yvonne's 25th Year Wedding Anniversary.  Perdido Key was a little rainy the day we got there along with a few days to follow.  We couldn't check into the house right away, so we stopped at a local fish market to pick up a few things for a seafood boil that night.

 

 

Getting to the house for the first time!

 

 





 

The house was super spacious & just had a great beach-y feel to it.  I guess being right on the water kind of helps with that!  We got unpacked & started prepping for dinner before the CATS played in the first round of the Final 4.  (They won that night by the way!)  Dinner was awesome as always and everyone was enjoying the start of their vacation.

 Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!

Let the good times roll...

 

A few weekends ago we had our annual Seafood Boil/Mardi Gras Party. 

Beads, great food & even greater company is all you really need to pull it off.

I'd say it was a hit again this year. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mica, Tyler and the kids couldn't make it this year which was a little disappointing

but we had a few first timers too!  My Grandpa came for the first time,

as well as Allison, Justin's girlfriend.  It was very laid back this year.

I may have put my sweatpants on immediately after dinner!

We're Crazy About Mercury's

And Food, Obviously

 

We've been talking about selling our boat, because it rarely gets used due to so much going on.  Creag would love to replace it with some sort of Fishing Boat if we do get rid of it.  We went to the Boat Show at the Convention Center recently to look at Bass Boats & Pontoons to see which one we liked better.  I'm not sure we really came up with an answer, but it was a fun night our w/ the kids!

 

 

I've realized I have a major food picture problem! 

These are all pictures in my camera roll super close together.

Step 1 is admitting you have a problem, right?

 

 

Other news....I'm awesome!  Thanks Sky <3
