Ella's Color Book

For my daughter first birthday I created her a color book of her wearing the different colors and playing with some of her favorite things.  When I gave it to her today she wouldn't put it down, Its a good thing I made a back up copy.  I used a blank board book that I found at romp, and sticker photo paper that I got on Amazon.

Here I the designed pages.

This beautiful couple was my first wedding.  I can see why photographers love weddings, they are fun, everyone's happy, they want you to take their picture, and everything looks beautiful.  What a privilege to get to take pictures on such an important day.

These two kids are so cute,  I love to say that but the longer I do this job the more I realize that you all have very cute children, and I get the privileged of capturing that cuteness.

You Can Grill That (Kabobs)& (Corn)

I know that your all thinking kabobs are a staple for the grill, so why is she telling us we can grill that DUUU!!  I had a request for kabobs and corn so I aim to please and in pleasing you also managed to make 

my husband very happy.

 I made 2 kinds Shrimp and Steak

Shrimp Recipie:

1 Lb Cooked medium or large shrimp

1 tsp. Lemon pepper

3 TBS. Butter Melted

1 Clove minced garlic

1 Lemon

skewer the shrimp and sprinkle them with lemon pepper, Brush the grill with olive oil and place the shrimp on low for 5-7 minuets until done, not burnt.  After removed from the grill drizzle melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice on them and serve over rice warm.

Steak Marinate:

1 Lb. Sirloin meat cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks

1/4 C. Olive Oil

3TBS. Soy Sauce

2 TBS. Brown Sugar

1 Clove Chopped Garlic

1 tsp. Chopped fresh ginger

Combine all the ingredients into a Ziploc bag and marinate steak chunks all day.

To Assemble skewer I used metal ones but if you are going to use wood skewers soak them in water first.  Gather the veggies you want on your kabobs and cut into large chunks. you don't want the meat or the veggies getting done before each other. I used zucchini, red, orange, and yellow pepper, onion & cherry tomatoes.

Start to assemble in any order you want, I like to have fun with this and make them according to what my family will eat, so they can each have their own skewer.

 Place the beef ones on med heat for about 20 min or until desired doneness of meat is reached, add the shrimp ones in the last 5 minuets so they will get done at the same time.

I love to serve my kabobs with rice or couscous.  ENJOY!!

For Grilled Corn:
Soak the corn in water just before grilling with the husk and everything.
 Place on med low heat for 15-25 min depending on grill heat rotating every five minuets, the out side of the husks will turn black but because you soaked it in water it will steam the inside. I did catch one on fire, don't panic blow it out and go back to grilling, it still tasted like to others inside.
