Wow how summer flew by! It is my favorite time of year! I love fall weather and bonfires! We had a few small mini vacations in august that kept us busy so I did not keep up on blogging sorry! We went to Niagara Falls and took Chloe and Ryan's parents along as well. I had never been and neither had Chloe but the others had. It was beautiful. We were only there a weekend and we did a few hour tour which we cut short but I really wanted to finish it out and see everything but the others were not wanting to sit on the bus any longer to get from place to place which is understandable. Ryan and I had some great conversations in the car as we do not get much time to see each one another or talk to each other. We stopped on the way and stayed with a cousin of his Katie and her husband. I really enjoyed them. We then went to West Virginia and went camping which is not really my thing but Ryan enjoys it and then went white water rafting the following day. This was fun and different. I can say that I did it but not sure if I would do it again. lol!
I have just gotten back into cooking ALOT of things so this week I made a cracked pepper pork tenderloin, chicken, broccoli and rice casserole and chili and my sweet cornbread!
I am having a cocktail party tonight for Ryan's birthday but he doesn't know anything about it! As far as i know everyone has kept it quite. On this menu is items for mixed drinks of course, sangria, boston cream cupcakes, pumpkin cupcakes, reindeer food (a chex snack mix), prosciutto wrapped asparagus, bacon wrapped pineapple, pretzel bites with queso, beer bread with spinach dip, wings with ranch and celery, Skyline chili dip w/ tortilla chips, barbeque chicken quesadillas, a tray of pepperoni, cheese, and pickles and then chips. I am so excited to throw this party and I hope it goes off without a problem. I will post later this weekend with an update on how it went and how everything turned out. I hope all of you have a great labor day weekend.
See you later never goodbye!
