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!! 

"Gnomeo and Juliet"

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 :)

January?

Where the heck did January go?!

I feel like it just started and now we're on to February ... It's like my life is going by too fast and I need it to slow down so I can remember everything! I guess that's why we're taught to cherish the moment isn't it?

January was a pretty good month at my house. I went to lots of basketball games with my family and enjoyed every minute of it :)

Hopefully February will be just as good if not better then January!!

My True Love ...

Um ... I love basketball.

Like a lot ... a lot a lot a lot!!

I could watch basketball games all day, every day!

To watch a person step on the floor and transform into an aggressive and intense athlete is some what of a thrill for me.

I guess you could say basketball is my addiction ... and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

The easiest way to my heart is to look amazing on the basketball court!
