8 years really?

So Haylee turned 8 yesterday and she wanted red velvet cake.... i worked all weekend and got up and made a cake.  

A pretty red cake!

then she wanted hot dogs mac n cheese and Daddy's homemade onion rings..


Pretty cake too bad the dog stole the first one off the counter..had to make an emergency call for more food coloring and oil but we whipped a second one right up! 



She decided she was going to cut her own!

Pretty cake!

Blinky came home!

So the boy came home last Sunday and it's been a crazy fast week.
He didn't have a clue about riding in the car he barked at every bump for the first 45 minutes and in new England this time of year there are allot of bumps.  He's a little food crazed and he knows nothing but sit.
He's very willing to learn we have been working hard on sitting at the door and going out slowly, we've learned what down means and we're starting to hear the word stay.  He doesn't have clue what drop it means and he likes to jump on my counters.  He's a big boy loves to snuggle  and play with squeaky toys.





So i didn't cook much last week because i worked a bunch.  I did make a homemade mac n cheese with ham which was supper yummy.
I use 2 tbspoons flour
2 table spoons butter
2 cups of milk, 2 cupsish of cheese (sometimes its not enough just add more to thickness you desire)
salt and pepper
2 cups pasta
Make a rue from the butter and flour
then add milk and slowly add cheese as it milts, whisking frequently.
add to cooked pasta and bake for 45 minutes.
sometimes if i have them i add crushed cheese crackers to the top.

I'm gonna do some cooking next week with recipes and pictures promise!
