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...

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...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
