Last week, my sweet friend, Pam, brought her daughter, Lizzy, to Children's to have some tests done.  It was so wonderful to see Pam.  My mom, my sister, Shanny, and I all met Pam at the hospital to keep her company while she sat with Lizzie.  Pam is the most giving person ever. She always comes bearing gifts!! She has a business where she makes the most amazing cakes EVER....they are super moist and delicious!!! She always brings us a cake or something like that. She is just so giving. We all love her!! We grew up in the same neighborhood in Fort Smith.  We moved when I was 6 but until then we played together on a regular basis.  Right after this picture was taken, Shanny got to meet Michelle Duggar. She LOVES the Duggars and says Michelle makes her want to be a better Christian. Shanny was definitely blessed getting to meet Michelle but I think Michelle was even more blessed getting to meet Shanny. Shanny prays for Josie and got to tell her so and also got to tell her that their show makes her want to be a better person. :) Who would that not bless?! Mom got to meet Michelle, too. I had just left the hospital to go to my doctor's appointment where I got officially diagnosed with IC. I already knew I had it but it's now official and I'm on all kinds of meds that are helping TREMENDOUSLY! I am so thankful!

Me, Mom, Pam, Shanny, and Elizabeth

We (me, Macy, Andy, Selah, Emma, Rosy, Hannah and Justin) went and climbed Pinnacle (well most of it anyway) on Saturday.  Here's a picture of May May and Selah. Aren't they cute?!

Hannah and Justin actually stayed at the base of Pinnacle because Hannah couldn't make it with her extra "load". :)

Rosy was so sweet to Selah. She kept trying to be her little caretaker.  She's going to be the best big sister. :)

On Sunday at lunch, we went to Franke's, as usual, and Rosy sat next to Hannah and started crying and said, "I wanted to sit by my best friend".  She was talking about me!!! :) Is that not the sweetest?! She always sits in between me and Mar at Franke's and we had already sat down and just didn't think....Macy was next to me. We immediately made a spot for Rosy in between us and I felt like a million bucks! ;)

Well, Lamar and I have decided that we are going to try to sell our house and downsize.  Our house is SO big for just 2 people.  Macy is hardly ever home and we just don't use all the space. I hardly ever even go upstairs.  We're also going to try (again) to sell our convertible and get a cheaper car.  We're just going to try and do things a little differently.  Anyway, I don't know if our house will even sell but we're praying about it.  It seems like whenever I get my house how I want it, we sell.  That's okay, though, because I still had a lot left to do on this house.  I will miss my kitchen and huge closet but other than that, I'm good.

Well, Lamar just called and is on his way home so I better go.  More later!

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...

Christmas Decorations

I am so behind on my blog, once again. I have so much to write about......Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot, the Granny Walk, Marcifest, the LSU/HOG game, etc.  It was all wonderful! I don't want to leave all of that out.  I'll go back and catch up or at least I think I will.  One thing I learned way back in the day when I was scrapbooking was that if I got behind to just start where I was instead of backtracking. Otherwise, it was just too overwhelming. So, I'm starting with right now and right now, I'm decorating for Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas...the music, the atmosphere, and most especially, the celebration of Christ's birth. I got a pretty swag for my door and wanted garland to match. I have a wonderful friend, Hope, who is an incredibly talented decorator and she volunteered to make the garland for me.  We went shopping together and she knew exactly what to buy and came to my house and put it all together.  She did a great job! I love my door!!...
