RECIPE HOLDERS

This is what I spent some of my time doing the last week.

Making recipe card holders out of paper clips.

They're really easy to make. I used some chip board tags I already

had hanging out at my house.

I'm thinking they turned out really cute.  Only thing is.....

now I have way too many of them.  *giggles*

SPECIAL DAY

This special  Little Angel just turned One!!!

And has her NaNa wrapped around her finger and knows it.

                                    

 At first she just looked at her cake and then at her mom.

Then tore right in to that cake.

Just look at that precious face!!!

Ooopps! Got some on my arm, let me get it right quick.

Here mommy, you try it.

She got this little doll, I think it was her favorite thing cause

soon as she opened it she gave it hugs and kisses then tried to suck

it's little bottle.  It was soooo darn cute!

Isn't she just the sweetest little thing?  This is my favorite picture from the never

ending amount of pictures I got of her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINSEY!

A DAY AT THE LAKE

Last weekend we spent the day at the lake for daddy's 74th birthday.

All he wanted was all of his family together and to take us

all for a ride in his boat.

A few scenery pictures I snapped from inside the car.

I had to get a pic of the dam.  I remember as a little girl daddy

would take us to the lake and we'd walk for what seemed forever to the

middle of this dam and then down the rocks to the waters edge to go fishing.

The entire hill used to be covered in those rocks but now is growing over with

grass and bushes.  Good times.

Mom, Shambra in back and Janet in the blue shirt.

Daddy enjoying time with the newest great grandie recently added

to our growing family.

Cousins playing together.  Aren't they too cute?

Two of the most wonderful people you will ever meet, and

a goofus in the back.  Mom and Dad and that's Jarred in the back

just being Jarred! *giggles*

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Me with my new sweetie.

I just addore these two faces!!!  Mike and Tyler.

Oh and don't forget this little face.  We all say with those little pony tails she looks

like little Cindy Lou Who (from the Grinch movie)

Me and my wonderful sisters.

Me in the front, Janet in the middle, Kimbo in the back.

Bet you can't tell who the honery one is?  *snicker*  Kimbo would

probably kill me if she knew I posted this pic.

Ready to eat? We have lots of goodies!

The fella's cooking up hotdogs.  They were hungry. 

Richard and Mike in photo.

Terry kept the fire burning for everyone and let me tell ya it was HOT!

Tyler was ready to eat.  I handed him his hotdog which he looked at closely

and then abruptly removed the bun and went straight for the meat.

They guys getting the boat in the water.

And away we go!!!

Captain De Roy at the wheel!

Anyone for icecream on the way home?   Heck yeah!!

Well don't bother stopping at this DQ in Chickasha, Oklahoma they were

slower than slow and we waited forever, like 45 minutes forever.

Was it worth the wait?   You tell me!

Peanut Buster Parfait anyone?  *big giggles*

Tyler loved his french fries after the long wait...doesn't that face just say it all?

And poor little Kinsey just didn't care anymore and gave it up.

This is the longest post I've done to date but soooo well worth it.

It's a tribute to the most wonderful man i've ever known.

My Daddy who turned 74 this year!

Happy Birthday Daddy,  Love ya much!





AGAIN IN THE KITCHEN

Today I spent part of my day in the kitchen making cookies for my grandies.

On the menu was a new recipe from my good friend Jean!

Chocolate chip sugar cookie balls

Here is what they looked like fresh eeewy, gooey, yummy chocolate chip cookies.

And wouldn't you know it....now I can't find the recipe to share but trust me

they were GOOD!!

OOOOh yeah grandie were over and my little helper was ready to go.

Check out that smile and papa waiting for cookies.

btw:  Pay no attention to the mess in the background please.

Come on...you know how messy it gets when you're creating. *giggle*

I just addore this little face when we're baking together.

And what would make this happy face you ask?

Yes....you know us too well. 

Caught with his hand in the cookie dough picking out the chocolate chips and eating them.

And here is the dreaded face grammies hate to see,

When mommy says you've had enough and takes the cookie dough away.

I love cookies and love baking but this little fella is the star of the day!
