I'm trying to update my blog.  I'm  so behind.  This has been such a busy summer.  It has also been a VERY hot summer!! I don't remember it ever being this hot before.  We have gotten a little bit of a break today and last night from the extreme heat.  I appreciate it more than ever because Calli and I walk every night in this heat. We have to walk at night because it's just too hot to go in the day. I think I'd literally have a heat stroke.  The heat index has been up to 110 on some days.  It's just TOO hot!!! Today is a welcome break from the extreme heat...there's just less humidity and it's only 87 degrees at 6:30 pm and I know the heat index isn't as bad.  There was even a breeze today. :)

Friends from junior high school.  Love these girls! We all met at Larry's Pizza one Tuesday because Liann Miller was in town (she's the 2nd one from the left).  She lives in Dallas...the rest of us live here.  We miss her! She has 2 little girls only 11 months apart (maybe 10 months apart) and is a great mom! After this, we all went to the pool, except Kendra.

Oh my goodness...I have discovered the most fun game!! It's called Quelf.  We all went over to the Singleton's and played one night.  It was so much fun!!! You have to do crazy things like talk in a pirate voice or every time you talk say, "Here me, for I have spoken!" HA!! :) Super fun game! This may not be the best game for you if you're shy or inhibited.  Then again, it may be good for ya!

Aww, my sweet guy got a new bed! He had the same bed for so long and he loved it. Unfortunately, when I got poison ivy, I was scared he got poison ivy sap on his bed, so we got rid of it.  We got him another bed at Petco but he didn't like it because it was too small.  I researched the best dog beds and this is what I found.  It's got foam on the bottom so it's good for his arthritis, too.  It is SOOOO comfortable! Macy fell asleep with him on his bed the first day we had it. :)

Little Banner...he is now 4 months! He is SO cute...his head sticks straight up on his head!! :) He is just precious!! We love him to pieces!

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...
