Happy 90th Birthday, Lamar Lane Sr.! :)

My wonderful father-in-law turned 90 on July 3rd.  Have you every seen someone that you knew instantly was a good person just because of their eyes?  The first time I met Lamar's dad, I knew instantly that he was kind because it was so obvious in his eyes.  I remember a few years ago, he printed off the ten commandments and went around to all the businesses in Rayville asking if he could hang them in their windows.  For the longest time, whenever we'd go in businesses, we would see the ten commandments and always smile.  Lamar Sr. adored his wife (Lamar Jr's mom) and has missed her ever since she passed away. They had six kids together...one girl and 5 boys!! When Lamar and I first met, we were drawn to each other really quick because we had so much in common.  One thing that we could relate to about each other was that we each came from big families....both of our parents had six kids. :)

Lamar Jr. and Lamar Sr.  Love these two men!

Lamar and his six children, Matt (he's a dentist, too), David (a pastor), Andy (a pharmacist), Lamar Sr. (retired pharmacist), Miriam (awesome sister-in-law and mother), my man :), and Dan (vice principal of West Monroe High School).  I love this picture!! I'm going to get a copy made for all Lamar's siblings.

Dan has redone the tree house and it is now 4 stories!! Whoa!!! Here are some of the Lane cousins. Aren't they cute!

Fun tree house picture! :)

They spelled out Lane with their bodies. HA! :) I like the "E" because Drew's cast from his broken leg is the middle part of the "E". :)

3 of my sweet sisters-in-law.  Lea Anne and I were dressed alike.

They had the BEST food there! We ate all day long!!! From 9:00-11:00 am, friends came out to see Mr. Lane for his birthday. There was SO MUCH delicious foods on the table! This cake was AMAZING!! It was actually a pineapple cake so I didn't know that I would like it but it was DELICIOUS!!! Homemade, too! :)  At 11:00, we ate the best barbeque from Barbeque West (they have the best baked beans I have ever eaten). Then, at 2:00, the table changed to snack foods.  I have never seen so many delicious foods in  my life....food was served all....day....long!!! :) That's my kind of party!

Moist and with filling in the middle.

Cute cupcakes.

Aunt Helen and her sweet friends all wore these aprons to serve the food at 2:00.  These ladies are wonderful southern ladies!

Granddad with sweet Kathryn and Helen.  Helen memorized the Sigma Chi song and sang it and played it on the guitar for Lamar.  It was so sweet. They were both teary eyed singing it.

Love these two Lamars! We got Granddad some pajamas for his birthday. He's holding them in his lap.

Lamar boxing with Daniel with Matt giving tips from the couch. :)
Father and son sitting on the porch swing. That house is such a fun southern house.  It's got the best front porch!! Lamar grew up in that house and now Lamar's brother, Dan, owns it so it's staying in the family.

So thankful for the life of Lamar Lane Sr.!!!!

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...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
