Life as an Aced

Monday Morning both my Grandparents and Brother Anthony Left and I took a strike against cooking any more After dropping off Anthony at the airport we took everyone that was left to Ruth's Diner  (As Seen on Food Network's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives - - in case it sounded familiar) Half of us ordered Breakfast while the other half ordered Lunch but what everyone could agree on was how good their famous Mile High Biscuits were Photo Credits to Best of Salt Lake City We spent the rest of the afternoon at City Creek Mall then back to our house to relax Photo Credits to Nexus Focus Overall it was an awesome weekend and hope everyone had as good of a time as we did. The house is definitely QUIET now that everyone is gone and our cat Sobe keeps going room to room trying to figure out where everyone went. We all miss you and we should totally do it again!!!

Saturday night got a little crazy so we started out Easter morning with a much needed Mimosa Easter Mimosa : Orange Sorbet and Champagne then moved onto Breakfast Cupcakes Get Recipe  Here  (variation: used chopped up bacon rather than a full slice) and . . .

Saturday was a super busy day for us We started out the day with Breakfast Burritos Inside Burrito: Eggs, Cheese, Italian Sausage, and Bacon Then after Eddie headed to work we went to the Scheels Store in Sandy, Utah to see the giant Ferris Wheel that inside the store and take advantage of their numerous photo ops From there we grabbed Lunch at In and Out for Anthony Then Off to the Bee's Game where we saw 3 Home Runs in a row right when we sat down!!! And Ended the Night with Oven Quesadillas and my Famous Chip and Salsa Get Recipe  Here Get Recipe  Here

I've seen a ton of Wine Cork projects on the internet but never really found any that I was like "OMG I have to make this!!!" until I found this on pinterest from  http://4.bp.blogspot.com  but of course only a pic no instructions. . . What you need: -3 foot long 1in think board -Wine Corks -Hot glue and hot glue gun -Something to use as a hanger (wire, ribbon, sting, etc) I started my search at Home Depot thinking that a wooden ruler would be the best thing to glue the corks onto but apparently wooden rulers aren't sold anymore and they are now all metal and that wasn't going to work Wandering around the store with Eddie I did however find something the same shape and size and a ruler (basically a wooden dowel but flat) in the random wood department near fence supplies and woot woot was 55 cents!!! Took that home plugs in my hot glue gun and grabbed my corks and got to work gluing them to the board Everything was going good until I was gettin...
