Sky Sox

Wednesday night, we went to our first Sky Sox game without daddy and while we did have a good time, he was missed. We got a group of Army wives together to partake in this free even. When we got there one of the wives decided she didn't sit with the "common" people so she paid to upgrade all our seats (thanks!)...actually the benches are uncomfortable and she wanted to sit in individual seats. Bucky had a great time watching the game and flirting with the little girl behind us. The main thing is we all had a really fun time!

This morning...

Bucky decided to make a face with his bread...CRAZY!!

Pork Medallions with Marsala

Tried a new recipe tonight that was absolutely delicious and very easy to make. Thought I'd share here in case anyone needed some new dinner ideas:

Pork Medallions with Marsala

Ingredients: 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2 inch slices, All-purpose flour, 2 T olive oil, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1/2 c sweet marsala wine, 2 T chopped fresh parsley

1) Lightly dust pork with flour, Heat oil in large skillet over med-high heat. Add pork slices; cook 3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium.

2) Add garlic to skillet; cook and stir 1 minute. Add wine and pork; cook 3 minutes or until pork is barely pink. Remove pork. Stir in parsley. Simmer wine mixture 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Serve over pork.

Above is the recipe from the book but here's how I changed it. I had to add more wine after removing the pork in order to make the sauce. That's it - that's all I had to change :).

The pork tasted wonderful and was so moist. It was very yummy and will definitely be made again.

Sesame Street USO

The USO brought Sesame Street to us today for FREE!! Can you believe it?!?! Well, you should. One of the positive things about the military is that they usually have shows or events going on quite regularly and you can usually get some swag at these events. Even if it's just notepads, well, I use post-its and notepads regularly so that helps me :).

Anyway, our friends went with us to this show and the kids had a great time! After all was said and done, my only question was "Where's Big Bird?"

I Am....

Quite possibly the WORST blogger ever!!

Although I have several excuses of why my blog has not been updated, there aren't any worse than it's been 2 weeks and 4 days. Anyone who knows what's going on knows what that length of time represents. Prior to the 2 weeks and 4 days was two weeks of travel. That'll get ya back to my previous blog. Rather than try to give a play by play update, here's a recap.

When I say travel, I mean travel. We drove (yes, drove) from Colorado to Kansas to Arkansas to Alabama to Georgia to Orlando, FL to NW FL to Arkansas to Kansas to Colorado....all in less than 2 1/2 weeks. While we enjoyed visiting with everyone I think we came to the conclusion that type of trip is never going to happen again. It was just too much time in the car, too much uncertainty, too much stress, and too much off schedule for us and especially the little guy. We did, however, manage to get in a few days for us at Disney which was wonderful and we had a great time...until we had to leave.

Here are a few pics of the road trip:

While there are many, MANY more pictures from our road trip, I just don't have the time nor do I have the desire to post more right now. But I do promise to TRY to keep up to date better in the near future. For example, I have another post to do right after this one from today :).
