Brats in Beer



Today is a day for bratwurst if I ever knew one. While I am using a slow cooker recipe, Cody is firing up the grill. We will see what we prefer....

 A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, especially when the end results are sizzling savory juices exploding from within the crispy outside skin of a thick, meaty, bratwurst. My husband was Team Grill and yours truly headed Team Crock Pot. The odds were against me, I know. Team Grill took an unfortunate turn for the 'wurst' when Cody mistakenly turned the dial to high, rather than off, and transformed his brats to burnt bricks. And so it happened that Team Crock Pot came to the rescue, supplying four tender and delicious brats, slow cooked in Henry Weinhards, for our supper. Oh the sweet taste of victory!

While I have no objection to daintier, more feminine hands, it does pose one problem: my wedding ring no longer fits.

Not wearing my wedding ring wasn't doing it for me. First off, I got hit on several times by some creep...

Easton Alden Prescott We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first son, Easton, for the past eight months. This adventure has been wonderful and exciting from the get-go! Here is a little synapses of our journey! My favorite part, so far, was telling Cody that he was going to be a Daddy-o. With some help from Robbie, I had him convinced that we were all going to the park to take some goofy pictures. Below are pictures of what he really found at our destination.  I found a GREAT song for breaking the news to family or friends in a special way. While Cody opened the ring box,  I played this in the background .  When the message got across, Cody started to tear up, causing his eyes to become hidden behind to lenses of fog.-Adorable!  ______________________________________________________ During the first couple of weeks there was little physical change happening. We spent our time getting used to th...
