Serve it with Rice, Save it for the fall

I found this recipe on cooks.com....it was a really good way to make pork chops (especially in the fall when it's cooler)
but the sauce was a little too ketsup-y. Any suggestions as to how we can improve it? Overall it was awesome and a one dish wonder! yum yum!

2 1/2 c. apple slices
2 c. sliced onions
6 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 c. ketchup
6 pork chops, 3/4" thick
6 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp. cider vinegar
3/4 tsp. salt
Dash of black pepper

Arrange in casserole in alternate layers of apples and onions. Combine sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper. Lay chops on apples and onions and pour ketchup mixture over all. Cover and bake in 375 degree oven for 1-1 1/2 hours. Makes 6 servings.

Such a Stud

Look what my man made for breakfast this morning:

Eggs Francisco

Toasted Ciabatta bread topped with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, avocados, bacon, and melted cheese. This dish was inspired by one that Andrew always gets at Kerbey Lane Cafe (an awesome restaurant here in Austin) although Andrew wants you to know that the original is served on an English muffin and not Ciabatta bread.

It was sooooooooooooooooo good!

Our newest friend

Take a look at this guy:

He flew into our backyard this evening while Jamison and her mom and I were on the back porch talking -- when I ran inside to get the camera he got spooked and flew over to our rooftop, just above our bedroom and looking over our back yard.

We got a lot of pictures, but since it was dark and we don't have a great zoom lens on the Nikon yet, this was the best we could get.

Baby Got Baptized

Yesterday Judah Andrew Brunone was baptized...unlike Isaac's baptism, mommy had a say in Judah's wardrobe, and he was allowed to wear the cap (or "bonnet" as Andrew would say) along with his short-alls.

Behold, the bonnet:
The ceremony:
The Family:
The AWESOME after-party: (you can't see any of the other fun events going on, but this picture is the epitome of baptism party greatness.:)

28 and Awesome--"I'm on a Boat"

I turned 28 on Thursday, and my birthday wish was to be on a boat with my suga', snacking on cheese and wine, kid free.

Andrew took the day off and made my dreams come true--we had SO MUCH FUN!! If you were on lake Travis and you heard someone going, "WHOOOHOOOHOOO!!!" as they sped over the waves it was ME, girlfriend.

We didn't take too many pics, but here's proof of the day:

A smile for a present. :)

"Happy-a-Birthday Mooooommma"

I'm on a BOAT!

With this guy!
