A great Saturday

For the last week or so I've been in training mode, working long hours and coming home and feeling very sleepy every night. I haven't even looked as to when I blogged last I've just been so tired and out of it but enough whining he he. Today was an awesome day it all began at 7:15 am when the boys decided they didn't to be in bed anymore so I got up with them while Renee stayed in bed for a well deserved day of sleeping in. I decided that I would make Mickey mouse pancakes for all the kids since they seemed to enjoy them very much last Saturday.



After breakfast Renee and the kiddos hung out at home and got ready for our impromptu grill out. We invited all of the couples in our small group and the ones that could showed up and we had a great time! Some of the couples in our group wanted me to teach them how to make Carne Asada (grilled flat steak), Salsa from scratch and Ceviche (Crab Dip). I felt like I was having a cooking class for sure he he and it was a lot of fun and here's the proof.

This the kind of mess I like to make.

Ah yes the flat steak and green onions.

Fresh made salsa, ceviche and green salsa.

Carne Asada turned out delicious if I say so myself. :)

After this flavor fest of Mexican style we decided to cool off in the pool. The kids had a great time in the pool and after a couple hours of fun in the sun we our day finally ended. It was so much fun hanging out with good friends and enjoying their company. Thank you Jackie for letting us take over your house and letting us enjoy your pool our fun day would not have happened without your hospitality. Now I'm on the couch winding down and still full from lunch. Soon we will get the kids to bed and I'm looking forward to a great Sunday.

Would you pretty please share those recipes? I keep reading from Renee what a wonderful cook you are and I'm dying to try some of this greatness (although I'm sure I couldn't make it as well as you can, I still want to try!)

Glad you had such a fantastic day!
Here praying!
Colossians 1:9-11 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

So did you have the boys while the girls went to tea?
Continuing to pray!
Colossians 1:12-14 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Didn't mention before that all the food you make looks really good! Probably a good thing I don't live closer...might wind up on your doorstep around dinner time....a lot!
;o)
Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Romans 14:7-9 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Yes, Frank, PLEASE share the recipes! I haven't ever found a green salsa recipe that turned out tasting the way I think it should! :)

When we were in Mexico we ate ceviche everyday! It's so yummy and then come back here and I ask at every place we eat and nobody makes it ! :(
