sausage and sunsets

We are loving our outdoor space in our new house.  I'm loving all the things we've done to make it fun and cozy.  I especially love stepping down the back starts and taking pictures of the sunset.  I'm obsessed and it makes me so happy!  I get to see this every night!!!

Tonight we ate outside.  Gary grilled sausage.  I steamed broccoli and I made baked potatoes in the instant pot.  It was one of my favorite meals.  I just love sausage.  I wish it was more healthy, but I really don't even care.  It's a wonderful treat and one of our go-to meal ideas.

weekend fun

My iPhone broke last weekend and nothing could be done for it.

I haven't had bluetooth or Wifi since last Sunday so I called Apple and they told me to head to their store in Austin, so we did.  I made an appointment and they were so nice.  They replaced my phone and were wonderful to work with.

We had the best time exploring and playing!  We went to Apple, Lululemon, Brighton and Kendra Scott.  We explored the outdoor mall and it was awesome for Layla and I.  Gary and Hayden were there for the ride and I'll say they were great sports!

We'd been dying to try 600 degrees pizza place in Georgetown, so on the way back home we ate giant slices of pizza.  It was wonderful!

I loved my salad and cheeseburger pizza.

Hayden's piece was giant, but he finished it and was shocked he did.  His tummy was full for hours.

And of course we HAD to stop at Bucee's!

student of the month!

We are so thrilled that this guy is student of the month!

Gary and I tried to sneak into the gym so he wouldn't be suspicious, but he saw us and then I felt like he knew he was chosen. 

It was also pajama day!  He was so comfy!

We are two proud parents!!

air fyer love

 

I used my instant pot and my air fryer for our wings tonight.  I think they look so yummy and they tasted even better!

Acquiring and using kitchen gadgets is my obsession!  

These wings were cooked fully in the instant pot and then I crisped them up in my air fryer.  Y'all....so good and so fun!  I'm in love! Now I'm just searching for more recipes to try!

This guy turned 44 today!

 

We love you Mister!!!

Date night and a new place

I love being able to sneak away for a few hours with Gary to have dinner.

We have been wanting to try this new place in Waco, and Friday nights are perfect for date nights.

 

 

We sat at the bar for a drink and then headed to a table for dinner.  The bar was the best part in my opinion.  The drinks and chips were the highlight of my night.

 

I got some sort of beef fajita tacos drizzled with queso and it was only OK.  I was not impressed.  I usually love Mexican food, but this wasn't my favorite.  I think this is a good spot for drinks and then head to another venue for dinner time!

 

Gary said his food was pretty tasty.  He ordered one of their signature dishes and I think he's on to something.  They spend special time and attention on some things and I think that makes them better!

I've heard so many good things about Hecho and then to be disappointed bums me out.  I think my expectations were high from all the hype.  I will go back, but I just wanted to be blown away!  Haha!
