Great Grandma

Great Grandma's Departure back to Jamaica is rapidly approaching!  We have enjoyed getting to know her and will cherish each memory!

Super Duper Sweet Tooth!

I have been in "SWEET TREATS" mode for a week!  Here are a couple things I made this past week... And yes, "Bakerella" is my inspiration!  The chocolate crackle cookies were on her site and looked so good I just had to make them!  She just put up another chocolate cookie yesterday that I will have to make too!!!

First rolled in Granulated Sugar, then Powdered...

Transformed into a Beautiful Chocolate Crackle!

Had the deep fryer out, So doughnut holes it is!



Reese's Cereal Treats



And of course I had the best little helper in the world!!!

Disney On Ice

We went to Disney on Ice this past Saturday with Derrick, Rose and their kiddos.  It was a lot of fun and totally made me feel like a kid again!  You just can't help but smile when you are surrounded by music and princesses! 

Thanks Smith Family for a wonderful night!  Love you!

 

~Harvest Party~

 

A HUGE Thank you to our Youth Leader Teams, Pastor, Bro. Derrick, Sis Marty and all the parents for everything that was contributed to make this night a success.

~The Kids Who Melt My Heart~

I have had the priviledge of teaching the Toddler Sunday School Class with my mom for almost a year now.  For any of you who have taught with her, you know how exciting and totally hilarious she makes everything.  You should have seen when she ripped chunks from Adam's (Playdough) side to create Eve.  (After God put Adam into a deep sleep of course!) The kids were staring in amazement... and so was I.  Adam and Eve did seem to come alive as they walked around in the Garden of Eden, mingled with the animals, etc. The funniest part was when Jazlyn waved and said goodbye with a pitiful look on her face as my mom crammed Adam and Eve back into the Playdough can.  Looking back, we probably should have left them laying on the table. lol  I honestly look forward to every Sunday morning "Adventure" that we go on together!  Toddlers are so trusting and when they look at you it's almost as if you can see straight through to their hearts.  I love every one of them!

The Great White Hunter & His Shadow...

The things you do for your kids!!!  Being the wonderful, amazing Dad that he is, my Dad took Roland shooting and didn't hesitate to pass up a buck (even though he was small) just so Roland could have the whole "HUNTING" experience.  Somehow during the experience The Great white Hunter and his shadow was born...(lol)  If you know my Dad, you know that a laugh is never far away.  Whenever we spend time at his house, we leave with a light heart and heavy bodies (from all of Sara's excellent cooking).  Thanks for a such a wonderful time!  Love You!

Weekend in Pendleton

We never have enough time when we are together!  But I cherish every moment! 

 Thank you all for such a fun, love filled weekend!
