Fig and Fontina Panini = WOW!

In Warren's Men Health magazine we saw an awesome panini that we had to try (last week). Actually anything with panini and good stuff we will never deny.

Since Warren and I both love to cook we take turns at different things. I was prepping and he was cooking/assembling.

As I like all things looking nice I left it very "presentable" for Warren. When he saw it, he just shook his head saying, "I love that you love to cook but this is just...[he got a funny look from me before he could continue]...too cute." What a sweet hubby ;)

The main star of the show was fresh figs, soooo good!

Layer that with Fontina, prosciuto, and greens and its just what I call success!

All in between crunchy toasty ciabatta...

After we were finished I was just wishing we had more figs. We will defenitely be eating spin-offs of this again!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun filled weekend at Lake Travis, or I should say Briarcliff as there wasn't much of a lake left. The weekend was a surprise for Ryan, Warren's brother, to celebrate the big 3-0. We had a ton of awesome food and a great time. I'll let Jenn blog about the dinner since she has all the pictures.

The birthday boy with his awesome cake!

Trying to get a decent family photo...fail.

Ryan with Layne

And of course, Sebastian. He doesn't look like a baby here, such a grown boy. :( Almost looks like he is taking the picture himself.

A cute video of Warren and Sebastian going down a slide...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Finally!!!

I got a video working on my picture camera!!!! Check this out!!!! And yes this was taken today. :)

Warren's First Triathlon

We are obviously WAY behind so I'm going to attempt to play catch up in August and we are probably going to be all over the place.

Warren had his first Triathlon on July 12 and he did an amazing job! I am so proud of him. Everyone has been asking us how all this got started...it was me trying to loose some baby weight (and Warren had a little bit too). So, Warren knowing I can't do it by myself with all the commotion going on right now he signed up for Weight Watchers online with me. We have now both hit our goal weight, but it is much more obvious on Warren.

In Warren's word this is how the Tri went...

Well I finished my first sprint triathlon this Sunday as many of you know and thought I would send you the results :)

Just some back ground on the race, this is any where near the length of an Ironman race, it's a 300 meter swim, 12 mile bike and, 3 mile run.

I finished #250 out of 404 people which I thought was pretty good ;)

I was #18 out of 20 in the Male 25-29 division and my times were 6:00 swim, transition 1 was 1:48 (which I feel is pretty decent for my first time), bike was 44:00 (this is where I need improvement I placed last in the division), transition 2 was 1:00 (yeah!), and run 28:26 for a grand total of 1:21:12!

All in all I was very pleased with my time, and can not wait for the next one in late August.

My BFF, Michelle went with me to support Warren and we made these really cool signs.

Meet Sofia Bickley!

Layne came over on Saturday and took some great pictures for us of our new little Sofia. She is a black minauture schnauzer...so sweet and so cute!

So now we are the Bickley 5!
