Back to the grind...

I am back to the grind today... Monday our office was closed for MLK day. It was great to have a long weekend, even though I spent the whole day Saturday working with my family. My sister snapped a picture of the sunset on our drive down to our parents.
My family is very self sufficient when it comes to food. My grandpa raises cattle, so we butcher cattle each year for our families to split. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought beef from the grocery store. Needless to say I am still sore from standing for 8 hours cutting meat!

 The Hubby and I are going to have a super busy week. We have ball games Tuesday-Saturday. We took the opportunity last night to have a date night to see the movie American Sniper. 
It was a great movie. I could never imagine being in a war zone and what every solider goes through on a daily basis. I am thankful to those who serve our country. 

 The Hubby and I tackled making homemade flour tortillas for tacos last night. I got the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker. 

They were really easy and good. The Hubby was in charge of browning them, while I rolled them out. 

 The Hubby and I have been playing the MyVEGAS app. It's a free app to play and you earn loyalty coins and points to use on real life purchases in Las Vegas. The Hubby and I got 3rd row seats to see Zumanity in March. That is a Cirque du Soleil show at the New York, New York. 

 We are super excited. We are hoping to get another show with our remaining loyalty points, but we can't decide what we want it to be yet. Even Bella likes to watch us play!

 We have a busy week ahead! I am looking forward to February when basketball is over and we get some free time back!

 Until next time,

 Kara

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Friday Things

Blogging has been one of those things that has fallen to the wayside. Life gets busy. Anyone else with an almost two year old knows... you can't turn your back for a minute!  Anyways, I want to try to blog more often. It's a way to look back at things we have done and reflect. Time flies and you forget little things and my blog is a way to look back. So to catch up with us a little. Cassie will be 22 months this week. WHERE HAS TIME GONE? I mean we have an almost 2 year old. It's hard to think about. She is spunky, stubborn, sweet, and funny. She's talking more and more and getting louder at doing it. Our nephew has a bounce house at his birthday party and she loved it! She isn't too coordinated yet, but she will sure try to keep up with the older kids. PS. Do you see that little pony?!? I love it, but seriously if she doesn't have her hair in a pony tail it looks ridiculous. She is at the weird growth stage where she doesn't have a ton but it has a ...

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! We haven't had a ton going on this week. It has finally gotten above 32 degrees in Indiana. I swear it hits 40 and it feels like summer. Varsity basketball is officially over, so it is kind of nice having no planned events going on! I got my first 200 in bowling! We bought me a new ball that hooks some. I am still trying to get used to it, but we all start somewhere! I have a recent obsession with Jamberry nails. They are vinyl stickers with designs on them for your finger or toe nails. They are pretty simple to put on and look like you went and got a manicure. I like getting my nails done, but I do not like what it costs to do that. This is a more cost efficient way to do that! I bought Mockingjay Part 1 on DVD last Friday when it came out. I was so excited! I cannot wait until November when the final movie comes out! I had been looking for some app to put our vacation pictures to with music so I would have a fun way to look at them. I foun...
