Pumpkin Cupcakes


I loved this so much I had to share it:
Photobucket
holla!!! thank the LAWD it's friday!
I am about as happy as dog the bounty hunter is when he gets his "perm did"!!


Ok wasn't that a wonderful laugh to start a Friday? Now on to my post...
 Fall is here and to celebrate I thought we would make Pumpkin cupcakes.
I came across this blog: Sinful Southern Sweets and I am in Sweet heaven. 
As soon as I saw this recipe I knew this was perfect to celebrate Fall and another 
excuse to use my new Kitchen Aide Mixer.



I didn't have a piping bag so I just always put the icing in a zip lock and snip a hole at the bottom corner and go from there. I didn't have orange sprinkles but I thought yellow is a Fall color too so why not. My kids and the Farmer loved them. As for me Im not into anything with pumpkin exceptr for decor.

In Love....

***Advocare Update:
This stuff is the Bomb dot Com!!!! I am in LOVE with this product!
Everyday before this I would always do ok through most of the day but then come 3:00 I would have
 to put on another pot of coffee and still I would find myself dragging. Well not anymore thanks to this wonderful product. I no longer need another coffee and have more energy and on the go mood than ever.
 This is a product that I can no longer live without. 
I have to admit I haven't lost any weight but hey what do you expect when I'm eating cupcakes with cream cheese icing, Route 44 Sonic Sweet Tea with chili cheese tots, Taco Bell Nacho Belgrande minus the tomatoes add extra sour cream with Mountain Dew and all Pioneer Womans wonderful creations. If I changed my eating habit I know I would loose weight but right now I would like to loose 10 pounds but I want delicious food more. So until then I'm not changing my eating habits! Now, how do you like them apples...u know the apples that I'm not eating!  
The next time I order I'm going to try the Mango Strawberry Spark.

THE ISSUE:
According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report, overweight and obesity are associated with heart dis­ease, certain cancers, type II diabetes, stroke, arthritis, breathing problems and other serious health issues. Obesity is directly related to 300,000 deaths each year in the United States and cuts across all ages, racial and ethnic groups, and genders.
A study by the National Center for Health Statistics revealed that 66 percent of adults in the U.S. or 133.6 million people are overweight or obese, with more than 31 percent in the obese category. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that by 2005-2006, the number of obese adults in the U.S. had increased to more than 33 percent, equating to more than 72 million people. Furthermore, excess abdominal fat has been linked to increased risk for metabolic syndrome.
Even more alarming is our children will follow our lead. Between 70-80 percent of obese teens go on to become obese adults. Unless measures are taken to reverse this trend, some experts are forecasting members of this generation may have shorter life spans.
THE SOLUTION: MNS® Max 3
The Director of the CDC recently reported the United States doesn’t rank in the top 10 for health among all nations. On one list it’s ranked 26th, on another, 47th. Due to our national health crisis, the CDC wants to remind the public that health care doesn’t only take place in a doctor’s office, clinic or hospital. The message is clear: Americans need to think more about how to prevent going to their doctor in the first place. Key points in any prevention plan include a varied schedule of exercise, a healthy diet and in many cases, nutritional support in the form of dietary supplements. AdvoCare can provide a total nutritional support package in the form of MNS Max 3.
MNS® Max 3 is our most comprehensive system yet! Not only will you benefit from appetite con­trol, but you will receive the best core nutrition as we have added Amplify A.T., Calcium Plus and an additional OmegaPlex® to this system.* Max 3 also offers sustained-release energy, which means energy will last throughout the day.* And with approximately half the caffeine of MNS® Maximum Energy and MNS® Maximum Appetite Control, it is a fantastic alternative for anyone looking for a lower-caffeine solution.* For energy, appetite control and overall outstanding core nutrition and wellness, Max 3 is the answer.*

ActoTherm: Based on an exclusive blend of botanicals including cinnamon, gotu kola, ginger and peppermint, this time-honored AdvoCare original product has been reformulated. This new version features a sustained-release to aid in preventing a spike and drop-off of energy throughout the day.*
BioTherm: A unique weight-management aid developed by AdvoCare that combines oolong tea, effective botanicals and B vitamin, biotin, to support weight control.*
The synergistic combination of ingredients in BioTherm helps your body convert fat into energy.* biotin is also used by the body to facilitate the conversion of food to energy. It acts as a coenzyme in several metabolic reactions that aid in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates and the conversion of amino acids from protein into energy.*
CorePlex®: Supplementation with an optimally-formulated multivitamin can help decrease the prevalence of insufficient vitamin and mineral levels in adults, improve their micro-nutrient status to levels associated with a reduced risk for chronic diseases, and improve their quality of life and ability to perform daily tasks.* CorePlex is an optimal formulation of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and trace elements needed by the body to promote and sustain long-term health and well being.* By combining this synergistic blend of 36 nutrients, CorePlex supports healthy bone structure and growth as well as provides optimum nutritional support for healthy muscle, connective tissue and skin.*
OmegaPlex®: OmegaPlex Omega-3 Fatty Acid Dietary Supplement is a safe, convenient and easy way to get the omega-3 fatty acids that may be missing in your diet. OmegaPlex contains a concentrate of at least 500mg long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, 300mg EPA and 200mg DHA. omega-3 fatty acids such as those present in OmegaPlex help support cardiovascular health in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.* These critically important oils even help regulate the body’s inflammatory processes, support healthy joints and are important for the maintenance of healthy skin.*
ProBiotic Restore™ ULTRA: Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that confer health benefits on the host. Our bodies must maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria to work at its best. When this balance is disturbed, it can have significant negative effects on our health including poor digestion and absorption of nutrients. Our immune systems are under daily assault from environmental factors, physical and emotional stress, inadequate rest and poor nutritional status. Additionally many individuals do not consume adequate dietary fiber, drink enough water or exercise regularly, which often results in occasional problems with elimination. Even though some individuals supplement their diets with probiotic products, all probiotics are not equal. The multi-strain probiotic complex in ProBiotic Restore ULTRA provides six high potency strains – three species of Lactobacillus and three species of Bifidobacterium. Two billion colony forming units (CFU) ensure full coverage of both the small and large intestines. ProBiotic Restore ULTRA helps replenish normal beneficial intestinal microflora to support healthy immune and intestinal function, while aiding good digestion and enhancing weight management programs.*
Calcium Plus: Bones and teeth need far more than calcium alone to stay strong and healthy. They need a balanced array of minerals including magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, silicon and potassium plus vitamins C, D, K and more. Calcium Plus is an incredibly effective way to ensure you receive enough calcium to keep bones and teeth strong and healthy.* Calcium Plus delivers two types of highly absorbable calcium, combined with other minerals, vitamins and botanicals.
Amplify A.T.: A revolutionary formula that combines two potent and unique natural ingredients that produce advanced nutritional benefits.* These two super-nutrients, astaxanthin and tocotrienols, are the real secret behind the power of Amplify A.T. For anyone who wants to fight the aging process, Amplify A.T. can help by strengthening the immune system, maintaining healthy blood pressure levels already in the normal range, and providing excellent nutrition for joint health and mobility.* It provides excellent support for skin too, by vitalizing the appearance of skin, helping to reduce the formation of wrinkles and maintaining healthy skin tone.* Its ability to help reduce muscle fatigue and muscle damage while enhancing muscle recovery provides an edge to any athlete.*

I totally love this product!!!!

Weekend ReCap

We started our Saturday morning at a Skating Birthday party. They make these neat little things now for all the smaller ones. Didn't get any pics of Maci because she had a friend spend the night and they were skating off doing their own grown up things. How Sad :(
Sorry these pics are so awful didn't have my camera so had to use the flip video cam and it sucks! But the video is awesome.



All the skating worked up a big appetite and since we were in town guess where we all wanted to grab?

The kids have been wanting to see Dolphin Tale 3D and I thought today would be a great day to do that since we were in the area. My kids love the Movies but considering their parents they have no choice.
This was an awesome movie and I would advise anyone to go and see it. You wont be disappointed!
Plot Summary: "Dolphin Tale" is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world. The real Winter, who plays herself in "Dolphin Tale," today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people—both able and disabled—who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation

Of course favorite part of any Movie...

After that we swung by Hobby Lobby I wanted to pick up some Fall Decor but I missed out it was all picked over and as you know if you love HL like me they had their Christmas stuff on sale already.
So we headed on over the Halloween Store that was across the street and here is what they picked out. I miss that I cant pick out their costumes anymore.



I missed the Bama vs. Arkansas game....Yes Saban Rolled that tide! Did make it home just in time to watch the LSU game. Not excited that LSU moved to number 1 and Bama is 3! :(

The only thing I can say is that the Omegaplex has my skin so soft and my complexion is super I do love those! I will continue to take these being what great results Im getting. That is the only thing I can tell so I will keep you posted I just got finished with the 10 day cleanse and today I start my real stuff so Im hoping now the difference will kick in.

Vegas Ready

It is  a little less than 3 months until our Vegas trip and I have got to get prepared. I need to shop and have an idea of the city. We have never been so I need all the helpful hints anyone can give. Best places to eat, shows, places to see, and things to do.


We will be there December 5th-12th so I'm really undecided what to wear because I'm not sure how to pack. I'm wondering if it is going to be cool or cold? I will wait closer to time and pull up forecast but right now I need to know how to shop.
Here would be Day look...(via Pinterest)



I figured this would be a Nite on the Town look but for day I could change the black trousers for jeans. I created it on Polyvore. I wish shopping was going to be this easy.  I don't know how it happened but for some crazy reason this picture posted Saturday, so I guess there was a sneak peak preview. I bet you were wondering why the camera huh?
The only thing I'm worried about is all the walking so I might trade in the heels in the day for cute flats, Uggs, or Riding boots.
 
Here is a surprise....
we were leaving the week of Thanksgiving but I figured I would give a little appreciation where need and move our dates back so I could score my Farmer and self some NFR tickets.
 Nation Finals Rodeo Championship I decided to go one the very last night were we could see the best of the best and see who takes it all.

I think the hardest part is trying to figure out what to wear to this...I will not be wearing flannel or plaid I can tell you that, I mean I want to go all blinged out or something cute and fun. All ideas welcome, help me please find something. 
Here is what I'm kinda thinking..


 I am so not feeling that handbag...Just Sayin

Much better

 Change the boots for these.....

 
  We will get to see...Doctor Proctor...Shane Proctor he also is in with the PBR 
and JB Mauney brother-n-law.

The Cooper brothers...Tuff, Cliff, and Clint and the Mack Daddy Roy in the background!
Lets get to roping boys.....

 My favorite family man..Trevor Brazile. His wife is the Cooper Brothers Sister. He is the MAN

 Maci's favorite barrel racer... Brittany Pozzi  2009 World Champion

Sherry Cervi 2010 World Champ. 
 Can you tell I'm a little..well alot excited about this?
Here it is Ive have a board called Vegas Fashion Pin Me Something and I would appreciate all the wonderful ideas and suggestions.

**For those of you who have commented on my music I just wanted to say Thank you to
It's the World I Know if it wasn't for my laugh for the day blogger friend I would of never know about this. I totally stole this idea from her. I loved it so much I just knew I had to make one as well so I put in a few of my jams and now I'm jamming.
