New Bike for Birthday

Lizzy's Tinkerbell Tea Party

The girls all played dress-up with lots of jewelery, boas and fake hair from the dollar store, we took each girls picture and she decorated a picture frame. After Tinkerbell cupcakes, the girls just ran wild! They had a great time.

Kindergarten

Rodney started Brookwood Forrest kindergarten this morning, the same school where his dad and Uncle Wade when to elementary school. In fact Uncle Wade's first grade teacher is now the principal. Rodney has a great teacher and several of his friends on in his class. He loved the first day and came home very excited about the library. He was very excited about his "tie" shoes.

Wyatt's 1st Birthday- Shark Attack!!!!

In my family it's a tradition for the mom to makes the kid's birthday cake. I made Rodney a Fire Truck, and recently bowling pins. Lizzy had Butterflies for her first. So with my nephew's first birthday Carrie and I decided to tackle sharks. The body of the shark is a Twinkie, glued to the cupcake with icing. The fin half an Oreo, then the whole thing gets dipped in icing.

Bouy's, for the sharks to swim around.

Life Preservers for saving lives.......

Lastly our completed shark, it took most of the day Saturday for Carrie, Jeremy and I make all of this. Jeremy did a great job on the gills, my hands shake to bad for small detail work.

Our own Gulf Of Mexico. Everyone love it and Wyatt enjoyed eating some of the cake and the lighthouse.

Mexico Beach- No Oil!!!!!!!!

Pt. Clear -The Colony Pool

Big fun was had by all at The Colony Pool (part of Lakewood Golf Club). Rodney and Daddy had mastered the slide by the time Lizzy and I arrived. Lizzy (Miss No-Fear) wanted to go down first thing, however she had to have an adult with her. Daddy went 3 or 4 times, then it was Mommy's turn. Rodney was the slide King along with cousin Laura Beth, he told me he had done the slide 31 times already! After our pool time, we all had a quick change and joined BB & Granddad for dinner poolside. The food was great, wonderful pizza and even better Mojito's!

My "Slighty" Gourmet Dinner

So this month's Southern Living had a wonderful recipe for "Okra-and-Corn Maque Choux", it looked so good!!!
It's got all the best summer veggie in it and sausage. Conecuch to be exact, which by the way it a county in Alabama.


Southern Living said it should take 28 minutes, prep and make 8 servings, it took me a lot longer and only made 4 servings (which might mean its really good).
