Did you all have a wonderful Fathers day? We had a nice time. I made Fajitas for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. Turtle cupcakes....

Recipe for cupcakes.
BROWNIE BATTER
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup milk
1 (18.25 oz) box devil’s food cake mix
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 mins until well combined. Using a small scoop (about 1.5 tbsp) drop batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze overnight.
CUPCAKES
1 (18.25 oz) box devil’s food cake mix
1 (3.9 oz) pkg Jello instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and line with cupcake liners. Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips into a very large bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 mins until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a large scoop (about 3 tbsp) drop batter into the cupcake liners, filling about 2/3rds full. Remove brownie batter from freezer and press into the cupcake batter. Bake for 22-28 mins. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

I put caramel sauce on the top of the cupcakes after they cooled then frosted with the new coolwhip frosting. Topped with more caramel and pecans.

Homemade chicken fajitas. They turned out sooo yummy. I let them Marinate in fajita seasoning and lime juice over night. Good times.

Ok on to scrappyness and my weekend.



My sister Janna chillin at my house. I usually get her when she isn't looking lol!




On my birthday hubby made me a special dinner. He is the sweetest. (I used lots of Studio Calico for these pages)




I have a great friend named Ashley and she asked me to come celebrate my bday with her...I did and these are highlights of that day. I so enjoyed myself.(crate paper pretty party)

A few fathers day cards I threw together. I am not in love with them but they were for 2 special men in my life. My dad and hubby.

On to my weekend. I had such a crazy full 4 days off. Went with my buddy Amy and we saw Bret Michaels and Slaughter. Pretty fun. Blast from the past. I was about 10 when I liked poison.

It was at a casino so we decided to play slots. I lost 20 bucks. I am not a gambler. I cashed out and got depressed lol! I wish scrap supplies came out the machines. I might play more. Haha!

We had fun, we had a few drinks, and then I pooped out around midnight and went to our beautiful hotel room. The bed just swallowed me up. It was lovely. I had such a awesome time.

Then sunday was fathers day. I made hubby Chile colorado. Yum. He made some awesome salsa and I drove to get my dad in Jamestown.

Kids of course went swimming. It was so hot!

Driving home we took this photo of the sunset on a lovely weekend. Hope you enjoyed yours!

love of mine

Father's day. Busy. Much to do. Appreciation. Love. Family. So many things on this day. I didn't spend it with my dad. Instead I spent it with one of THE BEST father's I have ever known. I myself think it's hard to be a dad. Woman carry the child with them for 9 months. It grows inside your tummy all the while you have bounded with this child. Men on the other hand only get to imagine how it feels to have this joyous life growin inside of you. This life depends only on you. Father's don't get to experience that until the child is here.


I appreciate when a man can see the life growing inside you as something beautiful. Something that you made together. Special. There will never be another like it. Unique. My husband is that man. He deserves all I can do. 18 years he has been with me and 16 of them with a child. He has managed to stay sane with a teenage daughter and all the while loved me unconditionally. Special.


I wanted to make him something special. Something I knew he would love. I took his two favorite flavors and made a cupcake just for him. I call it Ron's special cupcake.
It is a white cake with pistachio cream and white chocolate frosting. Rich. Sweet. Delish.
Of course living with a crafty wife I had to do it up right. I made a happy fathers day banner to put atop the cakes.

Made a fathers day card with some GCD The great outdoors collection. I love me some mustaches so any chance I can use them I am going to do so.

Of course it wouldn't be complete without a fathers day/mustache banner! I threw in some burlap stashes along with the gcd. Love. I may have to keep the banner up for a little while longer. *wink*



It wasn't all about the sweets and crafts at my house. Oh noooo. My husband requested juicy lucys with chili cheese fries. I have never made juicy lucys so of course I looked it up on the Internet. BTW I think I have mentioned before but I HATE touching raw meat. HATE! Anything tho for my sweet man.

{hubs photo with his cell. Was to busy to take a really good one *wink*}

I must admit it was worth the work. They tasted pretty good and my hubby and kids LOVED them. Kids all made handmade cards for him and we bought him a BBQ set that he totally thinks is wicked cool.

How was your fathers day? Make anything special? I would love to see!

P.S. I will post the cupcake recipe soon. Just have to tweak a few things and get it all in order. Leave me a comment if you would like the recipe!
