Macy's Home!!! :)


Wow, it has been a long time since I've updated!!! Too long!!! Macy's back home from Africa and had the time of her life. I actually haven't gotten to spend much time with her since she's been home because she's been on the go so much. Her best friend from Rayville, Shelby, has been here since Monday and just left. I didn't get to see Shelby much while she was here, either. The girls were busy with friends and went to the lake yesterday. I did get to eat pizza and homemade peach ice cream with them last night. Macy and I are going to the pool today, though. YEA!!! :) I love going to the pool and it is a great place to talk!!! The picture above was taken at the airport when Macy got back from Africa. I'll have to post some of her Africa pictures in another post.

I got to eat dinner with my best friend in the world, Sarah, last week. I LOVE this girl!!! Absolutely love her. We have been best friends since she was 5 and I was 6. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She lived across the street from me all growing up. She was just another member of the Smith clan. She went on all our vacations with us and everything. She is such a huge blessing in my life. I loved talking with her. She loves the Lord and it shows. Ignore my hair in this picture...I did not straighten it. :s

We went to Rayville for 4th of July. Hannah, Justin, and Rosie came with us, too. There were a ton of people there. Lamar has a huge family, like I do, which I love! :) Lamar's dad's 89th birthday was on July 3rd. He's such a wonderful man. I love him! Kathryn met us there, too. Rosie LOVES Kathryn. She calls her Kitty Kat. :) Ellie is at the beach for a couple of weeks with a friend so she didn't come.

Rosie's favorite colors are purple and pink. We both had on purple dresses so Mar took our picture. Mar and I had just eaten with Molly and Logan at Ya Ya's. I tell ya, they are an amazing couple. God is going to do great things with them, mark my words. I don't know that I have ever seen such a godly 21 year old man. Mar keeps telling me that Logan has inspired him to be a warrior. I think Mar already is a warrior but love it that Logan has motivated him even more. Here's a picture of the sweet pair...okay never mind, my computer won't let me upload a picture right now. I sure wish Picasa would let you blog more than 4 pictures...maybe they'll do that in an update. I'm so excited because BUNCO is tonight!!! YEA!!! :) I love it!!!

Here they are!!! YEA!!! Tried again and the computer let me upload it this time. Photobucket

I'm so glad Macy's home! I prayed for her so often during the trip. From their blog, it looks like God did some great things in their lives as well as the lives of the children whom they met! Can't wait to see pics from Africa!!!

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...

Bye Bye 80's kitchen!!

Well, my kitchen is mostly finished!! It's completely painted!! I am so excited to have a brighter updated kitchen.  It just feels completely different.  I'm not completely finished but here's what I've got for now.   The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Linen White and the walls are Benjamin Moore clay beige. I'm so glad to see the florescent oak square light gone!! I replaced it with chandeliers I got at a flea market!! :) We also hired an electrician to put more canned lighting in because after the florescent square was gone, we needed more lighting. I painted 48 cabinets and drawers and the body of the cabinets (don't know what the official name for that is) and was so burned out by the time I finished the island that my sweet husband suggested we hire a painter to paint the rest for me! I am SOOOO glad he did!!!!  See the faith, truth, love window frame beside the pantry door? Well, my super talented sister-in-law, Sabrin...

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...
