Sommer, Shanking and Salmon

When Wayne and I got home today we discovered a little artwork on the corner of our house. I thought the artist deserved some credit for her work.

Leng Bai, tattoo artist extraordinaire, pop and Wayne out for a day of golf. I lovingly entitle this picture Team Shank, but in true golfer philosophy there is no bad day on the course.

That's my honey.

A really good friend gave us some Salmon from Alaska so we all decided that we were going to make some fish tacos. In our house we try to keep the kids engaged because even the simplest of things can turn into the most wonderful memories. The kids love to experiment with new recipes so the best part of any meal usually turns out to be the making of it.

Sommer is mixing up the sauce for our salmon tacos. Mayo, avocados, honey, salt and pepper to taste and lemon juice.
She's an expert at making sure no seeds get in the mix. You getting this Food Network?

Peyton starts the batter for the salmon pieces. Flour, water (beer works too for adults), an egg, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic, dijon mustard to taste and just a bit of paprika.

Mmmm... so good!

It's about time Wak-Wak!

Look who's finally here. Welcome to your family little Nolan. We will be here for you whenever you need us and you'll soon find out that you'll have to shake us off you sometimes. It's a great family kiddo, full of laughter. You'll have lots of aunts and uncles who will try to spoil you, and cousins to climb trees and jump in the mud puddles with. Your grandma will feed you large amounts of chocolate when we are not looking, so be careful. Take it from me, she is the candy stasher in the family. Your mommy is sweet, pretty and she is really cool. Your nina Jay is in California, but she has been eagerly awaiting your homecoming and if you look around your room, almost everything you've got came from her and your uncle Niel. Put a good word in for me at Christmas time will ya? Nana, Tata and uncle Charlie aren't here anymore, but I know they're smiling from heaven. I am your auntie Boni, your grandma raised me and taught me how to share, clean, and always find the good in people. She has the most amazing capacity to love and she would give the roof over her head to anyone who needed it. I would never have made it through the hard times without her. We are so happy that you are here little Nolan, baby Wak-Wak. Oh yeah, everyone in this kooky family has a love name, so that's yours. You will just have to live with it, it's one of the perks of being in this wild and crazy family.
