My boy is turning 11 big ones this Tuesday!  So we took him and his friend Tyler Rock Climbing on Saturday.  They had a BLAST.  I knew Tommy would love it but I was surprised how much Jimmy loved it too.  

 Tyler gave Tommy the neatest little present.  A ton of money (right up his alley), rolled up in a bag with a tag that said pull here.  It just kept coming out!   LOL He loved it.  Such a sweet friend.  After they played HARD we had Mellow Mushroom pizza and cookie cake.  Pretty perfect day for some crazy boys.  Or so I was told.

Excited to celebrate his actual birthday with him tomorrow.  I love him so stinking much!!!!  He is just an awesome kid.  Seriously, he rocks.  Love you buddy!

First of all I have to tell you that I am addicted to the PicFrame app.  I seriously PicFrame everything.  I have no idea why but for some reason I felt like making a big old fashioned meal for dinner.  I made garlic roast, mashed potatoes, candied carrots and gravy.  I had to finally use my peaches that I got over the summer so I made a peach cobbler.  Thank goodness my resolution was to only have 1 small serving at dinner.  Tommy and Marc did not have that same resolution.  LOL  Jimmy didn't even eat.  Oh well, it was really yummy!  

I had been wanting to try this recipe for Garlic pot roast.  Instead of following the recipe I just kinda looked at it and made it my own.  I basically used 3 cloves of garlic instead of 10 (could you imagine).  Cut some slits in the meat and placed the garlic down in them.  Then I browned it on both sides in some oil and butter.  After that I put it in the crock pot and poured the drippings over it.  Let it stay on low for 4 hours and high for 4 hours.   It was AMAZING.  I loved it.  I think it is the new way I will be making all my roasts.  Yum!!
