A Swingin' Weekend Wrap Up

My "mellow weekend" ended up being busier than I had anticipated.  We helped celebrate a friend's 50th birthday by dancing, eating and drinking our way into Saturday night...






Caught on camera, swingin', by an eight year old...





A proud seven year old, helping her team to a victorious win {but no score keeping allowed, yeah right} by scoring 2 of 6 goals and learning some great teamwork skills in the process.




 A little work on the ranch....




















Trying to spot Jinx in a group of heifers on the back side of the ranch...





A Sunday afternoon baseball game, watching Bryce pitch....he LIVES for this game...


















And lastly, I found out I qualifed and was invited to compete in the World Food Championships in Las Vegas in November {yikes!}....not sure if I'll be brave enough to actually go through with it, we'll see...
















I am currently in Idaho for the potato harvest.  Not sure if I'll be blogging from there, but will be sure to give you all a full re-cap once returning!

Weekend Wrap-Up

This past weekend was one of those that flew by, you know the type that's packed full of things needed to be done; meetings to attend, classes to bring kids to, a little over indulgence here and there, and a first time experience all wrapped into one three day weekend.....Oh, and all with a new major pain in the back named Sciatica, that I'm now too familiar with.

I barely had time to blog at all.  But here's a wrap up done with some random pics from my iphone....

Paige's 4H bunny class.......our borrowed bunny, Cinnamon, was a trooper and easy to learn handling skills on.




















A Saturday night out at the Tomales FFA fundraiser and part one of my over-indulgence.......Slab-O-Meat....N.Y. Steak with a one pound scoop of polenta, yum yum.


















Another over-indulgent, first time taste snack for me that I found goes extremely well with pretzel sticks ...........Cocoa Almond Spread.



















The Almond Spread and pretzels also go well with this Lagunitas Brown Shugga.....which was not a over-indulgence, but definitely a first time taste for me.....I'll be back.



















My lunch today after an over exuberant talk with a good friend about a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich......I think I would've liked the sandie better, but this plate made me feel better about the over-indulgence stated above.
























After a long three day weekend, it's time to begin again, climb back on for another ride....no matter how you're feeling, right?!  Hope you had a fantastic Veteran's Day weekend!
