I have never gotten this behind on my blog, but I have been so busy that I have had absolutely no time at all for blogging! We have had crazy weeks with swimming, baseball camp, spending time in Mississippi, enjoying families that have come to visit us in Texas, hosting parties, and all the fun […]

Grammy’s Chocolate Sauce
This is a family recipe that has been passed from generation to generation. I don't remember my grandmother making it, but I remember my mom making it, and it's always been called Grammy's Chocolate Sauce! Yesterday I taught Lilly Katherine how to make it.

Delightful Dinner
The weather has been so absolutely gorgeous lately that we have been outside soaking up God's gift of nature and SPRING as much as possible...before his gift of summer and mosquitoes arrive. Last week we decided to walk to dinner in order to enjoy as much of this season as possible. It truly was a fun evening. As Preston and Brad walked ahead, the girls stopped to blow … [Read more...] about Delightful Dinner
