Jason Mraz -I'm Yours (live)

Here is what Annie is listening to today. I like this one too.

Whatcha Listening to???

I really enjoy just sitting and listening to music on my I Pod. So I thought I would ask you guys what is on yours. I use the word I Pod to cover, MP3 player, tape player, record player, Discman, or just the radio. If you can find the song on You Tube put the link in your comment so I can take a listen.

Have a blessed day.

Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. —Psalm 98:4

How Great Is Our God

This is what is playing on my IPod right now. Have a blessed day.

Say hello to Sammy!

My son had the opportunity to "play" the role of Sammy the Seagull this past weekend at Salisbury.
I saw these pictures on Facebook and I had to share them with you.
I know they will make you smile!
Enjoy the rest of the pictures.

Aquarium

Today we went to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was PACKED! So we chugged through the crowds and didn't stay long. We did capture some cool video. Enjoy.

Frisbee Golf

We went to visit Chris down in DC on Sunday. We asked that he take us somewhere outside since it was in the 60's.
So he took us to a local park in Fairfax, VA.
This park had a huge lake, trails, and a frisbee golf course.
A picture of the "hole". There are 18 holes, just like a regular golf course.

Here are the men trying to find the basket in the woods.
Sarah giving it a good throw!
Here I am attempting to throw the disc!
This is the "hole". It is a wire basket with chains on a pole.
You have to toss your frisbee from 100 - 300 yards through the woods and land in this basket. Ya, right??
Here is my trio, resting on the last hole. We had a great time.
Thanks, Chris for taking us here.

Cravings



I have been craving cheesecake lately. We have a resturant called The Cheesecake Factory nearby. A slice of this heavenly cheesecake costs on average 7.50.
I have been on the, no going out to eat fling. We have done real good. I think it has been at least three weeks since our last meal out. Even then, we used a giftcard for that meal.
Well, all that blabber has led me to my creation of Turtle Cheesecake!!!! I must say it is quite wonderful. I made mine for 5.00 for 12 slices! The recipe is from the Betty Crocker cookbook.
TURTLE CHEESECAKE

1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers cookies (about 40)
1/4cup butter or stick margarine, melted
2(8-ounce) packages (each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup hot fudge ice cream topping
1 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

1. Heat oven to 350°. Mix cookie crumbs and butter in medium bowl. Press firmly against bottom and side of pie plate, 9 X 1 1/4 inches.
2. Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Pour half of the mixture into pie plate.
3. Add hot fudge topping to remaining cream cheese mixture in bowl; beat on low speed until smooth. Spoon over vanilla mixture in pie plate. Swirl mixtures slightly with tip of knife.
4. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set. (Do not insert knife into cheesecake because the hole may cause cheesecake to crack as it cools.) Cool at room temperature 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Serve with caramel topping and pecans. Store covered in refrigerator.
