Memorial Day Weekend

These are my Cream Cheese Jalapeno Burgers.... that's right, I ate them both and they were yummy. Like having a Popper right in your burger! We are certainly making them again some time! These are how we celebrated Memorial Day... we were sad it was too windy for Smores with the girls. I swear who ever dubbed Chicago as "The Windy City" had never been to the Dallas area!! It's driving us crazy!

Mariska loved earning tickets at Chuck E. Cheese! We went for her friend's 5th birthday party. It was a blast!


Brynley's favorite game at Chuck E. Cheese's was this little basketball game, she could barely get the ball over the plastic shield, but she loved it!


We aren't sure why our beets turned white. I think it might have something to do with pressure canning them instead of using the water bath method... we're going to try the water bath in the fall and see what happens. But 25 jars of pickled beets from the garden is nothing to sneeze at!


Some were rather large... we probably should have picked them 2 weeks ago!

I am going to have to take your word on pickled beets being yummy.

Emily always begs to go to Chucky-cheeze-its, but I hate going there. I wish I wasn't such an anti-social mom. Plus, all of the mom's there completely ignore their kids. Have you ever heard of Pirate Island?

So fun for the kids - mean, mom, mean! I need to take a lesson from you and do stuff!

Brent and I were thinking that going to Chuck E Cheese to play games would be fun just on a date night with no kids!

I hate not going places with the kids... otherwise it's just me at them doing nothing in the house and I get grouchy.
