Rex had his birthday on March 7th-Perfect timing for a Sat adventure...
We never dare to do this alone-
so of course the G'Old Dogs
had to join in with us just to lend a hand in controlling the pack of 3.--
YES it does take 4 adults to hand 3 dogs...
I have my cousin who works at the
Insect aquarium In New Orleans-
So that was our 1st stop...

I'll be honest I really thought what could
they possibly do that would be impressive with BUGS...
I was impressed though-
very educational, colorful, & entertaining.

All the adults were AMAZED!!
It really is a beautiful way to show case BUGS!!!

Here is a few pictures surrounding our day there.

This is a "LOVE BUG" car-to cute on education
I must say The windshield was a big flat screen
talking all about the "Love Bugs" we have as insects in our area.

This is in the exhibit all about Beatles-
the armor was a example & model that the
kiddies, Spot just had to stick his face in it-

Here is the NEW bike-
G'Old Dogs bought Rex for his birthday
Rex has managed to hold on to a bike for over 4 years.
It was time for a new one...& He is proud to own it!!

Rex isn't to picky with his cakes...
OK OK he wants Chocolate on Chocolate
I wanted almond on almond...
LOL The blue one below is my almond creation.
Below that is the Chocolate on chocolate.
I may not be the fanciest when decorating but,
I thrive on the taste factor!!
Both were delicious!!!

We also took time to head on over to the
Audubon Zoo Rex had been there for a class trip
but, Spot & Juicy hadn't &7 it's been years since big dog &
G'old dogs had been there too.
(yes it is very hard to take pictures of my dogs...
esp when they are not together at the same time-
I make do as best as I can...LOL)

Camping Anyone??

Here in the south we have Mardi Gras vacation.
It takes a week up near Ask wenesday
the children have NO school...YEAHH

My dogs hit the roads & went camping with the G'Old dogs.
here is a few pictures of their adventures!!

Patient fisherman Rex-
The fish won't mind if he stops to pose for a few pictures!!

Spot thinking about where to cast his line

The lil dogs with G'old Dog Maw
They said it was COLD & WINDY coming off the lake!!

Nothing says camping like a fire-
the dogs with G'old dog Paw

Working or Worm Hunting??

Big Dog was busy one day extending out our draining system from the shed to the far end of the back yard-we had to move our washer & new dryer out there due to the over flowing pipe in our house....We wash to many batches of clothes in one day & the pipe was having no rest to drain properly...therefore it was over topping on to my dining/kitchen floors...flooding mess!!!!

Juicy was all to curious to what his daddy was doing out there. After watching for a hour he wanted to crawl in & see what was so cool about being in a 2 foot hole...LOL

And that is where the Worm Hunting came in.....

Humm I wonder what did Big Dog & Juicy find in that hole...??

"I don't know-but, it tastes kinda yummy, squishy, & it moves"

"Yep Mommy, It's a WORM"
Juicy managed to stick it in his mouth-didn't chew down
the worm managed to squirm free before it became a snack

St. Paddy Recipe

Beef Roast and Cabbage Dinner

Recipe called for Corned Beef but, here in Cajun Country that is a hard meet to find. I used a regular Beef Roast-Everyone was very happy with the results & enjoyed their meal very much!!!

Ingredients

1 (4-pound) cured corned beef brisket, trimmed
3 cups water
1 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt & Pepper rubbed on beef
1 (2 1/2-pound) head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch strips
1 (14.9 fl oz) can Guinness Stout Beer
4 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 cup chopped carrot

Preparation

Season top of beef with salt, pepper, thyme, & oregano. Rub into meat throughly.

Place beef in a large Crock Pot set on high; add chopped onion, celery to sides of beef & cover whole pot with cabbage. Add in beer & water. Cover pot & allow food to cook for 4-6 hours.

Meat will be extra tender & juicy. After beef is tender & fully cooked remove from pot.

Leaving beef stock in pot add in chopped potatoes & carrots allowing to cook for 1 hour.

Once cooking in complete-drain out potatoes & carrots place them on a baking sheet for 20 mins in oven to give light crispy brown skin.

Place beef in center of large tray, adding cabbage to one side & potatoes & carrots to other side.

*I didn't use the celery except for cooking & flavoring the beef-The taste of them after wards was just plain yuck!! BUT, the celery did give the meat a great taste!!*
