Whoa, my body is so sore from zumba today! I haven't been on a Monday in awhile and the instructor really gives you a workout!! I love it, though! I sure can tell a difference when I go a couple of days without exercising. I don't sleep as well and I notice I get stressed easier. Mar and I walked the base of Pinnacle on Friday....it was 3.5 miles. It was something different for us to do. The 2 weeks before that we climbed Pinnacle and it was so beautiful...we decided we'd change it up a little last week. :) Who knows what we'll do this Friday. I'm sure we'll find something fun that's exercise, though. I can't believe Thanksgiving is only a week and a half away! I'm so excited! I sure hope my sister, Marci, gets to come down from Nebraska. All of the festivities won't be the same without her and her girls. We're praying it will rain in NE where they can come down. Mar is in the kitchen making beans. He has the best bean recipe with bacon and ground beef. He loves making it, too! :) We took Rosebud to the grocery store with us tonight and it felt so good! She had on her hot pink Crocs and little pink tutu...... and she carried her purple boa umbrella with her. It was so much fun having that little precious with us. Everyone is so much nicer when you have a sweet angel like that walking around with you. :) Rosie did the cutest thing last week that I didn't want to forget about so I'm writing it down. Justin was asleep in his and Hannah's room and me and Mar were playing with Rosie in her room (which is adjoined to her parents room). Rosie was playing with her little zebra toy and banging it on her little table...it was pretty loud. I told her very sweetly to be a little quieter with the zebra where her she wouldn't wake up her Daddy. Well, if I ever say anything to Rosie that is negative at all in her eyes, she starts crying. It just breaks her heart. I try to never say no unless I absolutely have to because let's just face it...I'm her aunt (NOT her parent) and my job is to spoil her....her parents can do the disciplining. Anyway, after a minute I was talking to her and asking her why she cries when I say no to her but not when her mommy does (I already know the answer...she's not used to me saying no). Then, Mar starts saying, "Rosie, what do you do when Mar says no?" and going down the list....when he finally got to Poppy, she said, "Poppy doesn't say no!". HAAA!!! And, she's right!!! :) He just loved it when I told him that. I told him in front of her and she looked at him and said, "Poppy, you don't say no to me!". :) Isn't that great!!! After taking Rosie to the store tonight, we went over to Mom and Dad's and ate some yummy food that Mom cooked.....veggies, chicken, sweet potatoes, and biscuits. It was really good. After that, Dad put on a 50's CD and we all danced with Rosie in the kitchen...so much FUN! I love my family! I'm reading a book right now called When Crickets Cry. I couldn't put it down last night so finally at 2:00 AM when I finished a chapter, I made myself put it down because I HAD to go to sleep. I should have just kept reading because my mind was too busy with what I had been reading and I didn't go to sleep until 3 in the morning!!! UGH!!! Usually reading really helps me sleep but not last night. Also, it didn't help that I had a late Sunday nap. This book is good but right now it's really sad and somewhat depressing! I know it will have a good ending, though. I'm sure tonight, I'll be able to put it down quicker because I did zumba today so I'll be able to go to sleep a lot quicker. Well, I'm going to go spend some time with my hubby...the beans are going to be in the oven for a couple of hours! Here are some fun pictures from Turkey Trots past! :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
