Y'all, it is HOT!!! I mean, seriously, this is the hottest summer I can remember.  You know it's hot when you are excited that the heat index is just 103 instead of 111 at 7:45 at night!! Ugh!! Cannot wait for cooler temperatures!
Last week, we had a heat advisory all week.  This week, we have another one until Tuesday.  Charlie Bear has been so clean this summer. I can't let him outside much.  The funny thing is, he doesn't want out.  When we had a break from the heat, he wanted out again. I think he can sense from inside how hot it is outside.

Look how tiny Banner looks next to my huge brother, Sheldon.
My Pinkalicious Sunshine! :) Rosy was spending the night with mom and dad and I read her a book before bed. Sheldy came back and listened while I read, too.  Sheldy's such a good uncle.  He is great with kids!
Every time we go to Izzy's, Rosy gets this dessert! I don't blame her...it is GOOD!! She ordered a chocolate milk shake to go with her meal and when she realized that her milkshake was considered dessert, she gave her milkshake to Poppy, who would never drink it in a million years..he is WAY too healthy to ever eat something yummy like that.
Look at little Ban's hand on his daddy's hand....so sweet!
Our fam at a shower for a friend.  It was at Marlsgate Plantation...the heat index was 116 that day!! Ugh!! The house was gorgeous, though!!!
Hannah and Justin have been walking with me some. :) This was right before our walk.  I drove up and saw the fam hanging out in the front yard.  It made me happy. Rosy was there, too, but she had gone in by the time I took the picture.
Rosy told me that she wants to walk with me every day. She said she also wants some walking clothes so I got her the outfit she has on here.  I didn't realize that places sell walking clothes for kids so it looks like I'll be making another trip to get her "real" walking clothes. :) I try to walk up and down the street with Rosy where she'll feel like I'm walking with her.  When she's older, I think I'll have a built in walking buddy! :)
Be still my beating heart!! Have you ever seen anything this cute in your life?! The hair, the smile, the tongue!! Precious!!! 
Mar and I went on a double date with Heather and Scott last Monday. We went to Outback and then to get frozen custard...it was all good. The only thing is that Lamar and I got in an argument right before we left. We haven't gotten in a fight in so long and wouldn't you know, it happened right before a double date.  Oh well, it worked out...nothing like good friends and good food to get your mind off everything. :) 
I let Charlie Bear ride in the car with me last week. It was so fun to have him in the car with me again. I sure do love this guy and love to have him as my companion in the car.
There are no words.....
Rosy had her first dental cleaning appointment last week.  She was scared and only wanted Mar to clean her teeth...not the hygienist. She said Mar was the "best dentist EVER!" and just wanted him to be in her mouth.
We got her to sit in my lap and after Mar did his little glove balloon trick, she let him look in her mouth.  Look at Mar's face! HA! :)
No cavities!! YAY! :)
Mar has lost 10 pounds in the last few weeks. I can tell in this picture...his face looks thinner.  He is on a diet for his blood pressure and triglycerides.  Banner is so precious..he just had his shots when this picture was taken....look at all the band-aids on his leg. :(
After the dental appointment, I took Rosy with me to get cupcakes! We had such a fun time! We got 4 cupcakes and sampled them all.  She LOVED red velvet, just like her Aunt Hadoo! :)  When we left the cupcake place, Rosy said, "Cupcakes make me laugh!" and they do. She was so happy after she ate them...on a sugar high! I got the cutest video of her talking about all the reasons why cupcakes make her happy! :) Love her!

I went walking tonight by myself. Macy was supposed to go with me but that never works out.  It's really rare that I go by myself....I always have a friend who goes.  I was so spooked on my walk.  Calli and I had a guy yell a very vulgar thing to us last week. It made me SO mad!! Anyway, I was looking at the Lord's amazing creation...His gorgeous sunset and was spooked at the same time.  The sickness in the world makes me sad.  I will not walk that route again without mace.  I didn't go my usual route which I feel a little safer on.  You just never know.  When I got back, one of my friends FB status was about how she got flashed while walking!!! It turns out she just got mooned and thought flashing was the same thing! LOL! :) Still, who wants to get mooned when they're just trying to exercise.  Well, I'm off to go eat some yummy chicken and veggies that Mar made yesterday....delicious!!!

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...

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...
