Taco pizza

When I visit Mt. Pleasant the Taco pizza is a must. I mean look at this sloppy mess. Yes, please!!

Hawkeye tailgate

Kai had her first tailgate. She is an awesome tailgater but not so much into the game. I think it was a bit loud. Next week Grandma and Grandpa Hadley are watching her. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Hadley! Go Hawks!!

Kai's first Cardinals game

We went to the Cards game on labor day. The weather was perfect and we had tickets in the red bird club so we could go inside if we needed too, and yep we needed too. Kai was not a fan of being outside in the seats. Inside, she was her perfect self. She played and was super excited about the million TV's that Mom had no way to avoid. After the game we went over to a friends for a BBQ and had a great time. Kai was perfect once again even with a lack of a nap. Go Kai. Next weekend, we tackle Kinnick stadium.  Go Hawkeyes!!

Iowa Hawkeyes

Kai had a big day because she got to watch the Hawks and not only was this her first of many Hawkeye games, but she got to watch it on TV.  Kai does not get to watch TV, but we made an exception for the Hawkeyes today.  Go Hawks!!

 I almost too sleepy to watch the Hawks. 

"My fingers mixed with this tutu is yummmmmy." says  Kai

"Mom, I know you are excited about
 the Hawks, but I'm still a little sleepy."

What!! A Flag? 

I'm Happy in a TuTu

Ok, maybe I just think Kai is  happier in a tutu. If that is even possible for her to be happier cause she is one happy baby. I just love the tutu pants combo. I would own one in every size and color if I had it my way. The pink one she has on is from the Gap and I am seriously considering buying it again in a larger size. I made the mistake of not buying her last brown one in a larger size and now it's too small and that makes me a sad panda. 

Sea Lions

We took Kai to the Zoo today to see the sea lions. Last time we tried to see the sea lions the line was too long.  Not this time we got right in and I think Kai was in like with them. 

Just arriving in the tunnel. 

Spaghetti and Peanut Butter. What?

When I was little my Dad always ate spaghetti pilled high on a peanut butter sandwich. I remembered this yummy combination today and decided to make spaghetti for supper tonight.  I have to say the spaghetti with a peanut butter sandwich was just as wonderfully good as I remembered it. Just goes to show peanut butter is good on everything.

Spaghetti is made with soy crumbles not meat.

Coffee Meet up

I have been going to coffee meet up group on some Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is a nice way to get out of the house and I think Kai likes looking at other babies. Everyone brings a blanket and lays the baby on the floor to play while the Mom's try and drink some coffee.

I wanted to show pictures of all the babies sprawled out
 on the coffee shop floor, but did not know if that was PC
and don't want to get kicked out of my Mom's group;) So here is
Kai before she fell asleep from all that playing.

brownie peanut butter thingy

I made a new concoction today and it sounded like a good idea but I think I will just stick to brownies next time as the peanut butter layer was left in the pan and the brownie goodness eaten.  I put peanut butter cookie batter on the bottom of the pan and then a brownie layer on the top and baked to gooey goodness. Kai liked making brownies until she feel asleep on her Momma. 

More Yum

If you have a Whole Foods around you I suggest Grilled Brie with cherry sauce and walnuts and at, I think, 12ish dollars, kinda cheap. Also for supper tonight I made zucchini stir fry, also very yummy as my husband would say.

Side Note
Tonight I had a glass of Pinot Noir. It was Kali Heart which I first had with some good friends in Cali.  This is, in my book an expensive bottle of wine at 20 some dollars a bottle and it comes with a screw top, now some find this kinda cheesy, but I seek out the screw top as I no longer can polish off a bottle of wine like I could in my younger days. I think its nice I can just screw the lid back on. Cheesy maybe, practical yep.

The brie comes with this wooden plank to grill it on. 

Perfect dinner
