Funny!!

I got this email from my grandma today and thought you might enjoy it :)

I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out two of her fingers. Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your fingers," pretending to eat them. I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face. I said, "What's wrong, honey?" She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

New Page ...

So if you haven't noticed, I added a new page on the right side of my blog called "Funny Things Kids Say".  Check it out if you're looking for a good laugh :) I plan on adding to the list so remember to check back often! Anyone have any good stories of funny things kids have said or done?? Leave them in the comments :)

Chicken Noodle Soup & Apple Pie

This is my WONDERFUL Grandmother ...


The other day, I got to spend the day with her and she taught me how to make homemade chicken noodle soup and apple pie. It was a lot of fun to learn from her and spend one-on-one time with my grandparents! 

Here are what the noodles look like while drying: 



The carrots and celery added for flavor: 


And this is the BEAUTIFUL apple pie made from scratch!! Now I know how to make homemade pie crust :) 



It was a very fun day and I enjoyed the time spent with those I love. I look forward to using my new found cooking skills in the future :) Hopefully I can remember all the little secrets my Grandma shared with me!!

Katie, Bobbi, Emily, Collette, and I got together one random day and went to see the movie "Gnomeo and Juliet". It was so much fun to spend time together and laugh once again. Plus the movie was ADORABLE and HILARIOUS!!! I sure love these girls :)


Katie, Bobbi, Emily, and Collette ... just waiting for the movie to start! 


Yeah, Katie and I are just a little bit crazy! 


 POPCORN!!! 

It was a fantastic day and I am so glad that I have such amazing friends in my life! It was nice to relax and just laugh about everything for a few hours. LOVE YOU GUYS :) 

Valentine's Day

I had a pretty good Valentine's Day this year! I spent the day with my family and at this point in my life, it was exactly what I needed :)
Valentine's Day hasn't always been my favorite holiday but this year I realized that it doesn't matter who you love. All that matters is that you love them with all your heart, all the time! Here is my Valentine this year:

That's right! Jase, my adorable little brother, was my Valentine this year :) 

My mom decided that she wanted to do something special this year so we decorated the dining room and had a special "candle-lit" dinner! It was a great way to spend the evening!! Here are a few pictures of our decorations: 


The table! 


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! 

Sorry!!

I know it has been FOREVER since I have blogged but I'm still alive and back to the blogging world!! Here come a few updates on my life as of late :)
