Girls Night Out!!

Every month our SS has a fellowship. We've played BUNCO, gone to parades, and remember our scavenger hunt? Well, this month was for the ladies only! Our SS teachers wife, Cary Dobbs, hosted it at her fabulous house.

The theme was soups and salads, so everyone brought their favorite. We had white chili, enchilada soup, potato soup, fruit salad, tossed salad, roman noodle slaw...I took avocado salad that Zach helped me make!! It went perfect with some of soups!
There was 12 of us there. Here are a few of the lovely faces.
After dinner, some of us watched a movie, No Reservations, and some talked. Here are a few that are left after the movie. I chose to watch the movie. It was okay, but nice to sit in a comfy chair for a while!

We all had a great time getting to know one another better, laughing and eating!!

The girl sitting next to me snuck one or two pics, but no one else did! I guess none of these ladies are bloggers!!! ha!

Snow Day!!

Snow was predicted for our area and it actually came!!! Yes!! Snow daze are the best!!

I ♥ Blow Pops! But sometimes they can be inconvenient to eat!! So when I found these little guys I was excited!!! Now I can have one any time!! Great invention!!!

Welcome Home Dad!

As soon as Dan walks in the door after a long day at work, this is what happens...

Poor dad? or Lucky dad! I say "Lucky dad!"



As soon as I started taking pictures, they got off! ha! The power of the camera!! ☺

Let there be light...

This weekend Dan put up some recessed lights in our living room. We only had the light of the ceiling fan and two other spotlights in front of the fireplace in the whole room. During the day, the windows give a lot of light, but at night, it was sooooo dark in there. I didn't like it at all.

We have talked about putting recessed lights in since we moved in, and the day finally arrived!

Drew loved "helping"! ☻

There is Drew. He is up in the attic looking into the living room. Sooo cute!

" Hello hand!! " ☻

The finished product is wonderful. Thanks Dan for your hard work! ♥ And a big "thank you" to my brother in law, Eddy for doing the electrical hook-up! He made it look so easy!!

It's amazing how much better the room looks with the lights to help us see. I can't help but think about how I need the Light of Jesus in my life to help me "see" correctly. ♥

An old favorite made new again!

I came across this recipe from my February issue of Family Fun Magazine (Thanks April!!) ☺
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi Rolls! This recipe couldn't have come at a better time too! We were all out of good snacks at home! Oh No! But when the boys came home hungry from school, I knew just what to make them...and believe it or not...they loved them!!! Plus they are fun to eat!!
