Recipes Anyone?

I am always desperate for new recipes. I love to cook for my family and sometimes I just run out of ideas. My solution...a recipe swap! If you are interested comment here or e-mail me. I think it would be fun to have everyone contribute a recipe for each category, I will compile them all and send everyone who shared their ideas a copy of all of the recipes. Just a fun idea to help friends make life easier!! The categories will be: Main Dishes & Casseroles, Cakes, Cookies, Candies, Desserts, Salads, Appetizers & Breads. You don't have to have one for every single category just a few of your favorites!

P.S. remember the pay it forward post from forever ago? Ok maybe you don't remember but I didn't forget and I know what I am going to do so Ricki, Michelle and Whitney I will be paying you a visit in the near future!!

Leapin' Lizard!!

This darn lizard has been living on our roof for months now! He keeps revealing himself when we get visitors. This picture doesn't show how vibrantly orange he is and how large he is. It is very fast and he hangs out at the front entry. I have never seen a lizard of this size down here other than someones pet, but he gives people a scare when they knock at the front door. Anyone have any idea what kind of reptile this is? I hope it isn't man eating or poisonous!

First Day of School!

Summer has so quickly come and gone! I can't believe that school is back in session already. I think Baylie and Cam are excited to get back to their friends, but honestly, I have enjoyed the freedom of summer. What I can't believe even more than that is how quickly my babies are growing up! I feel like they are just a couple of years away from walking out the door into their own lives, college, marriage.... I remember so vividly being their ages! I am so proud of them both. They both get good grades, they never cause me any grief, other than the usual stuff, but neither of them have ever been in trouble in school. I took Cam on his first day, walked in with him and had to hurry back to the car. I fought the tears so he wouldn't see me cry, I cried all the way to work, and throughout the day had a lump in my throat. The time where I get to be with my kids every day is just flying by! I love being their mom and I am so grateful for two pretty spectacular kiddlings!

13 Years!

Marty and I celebrated our 13th anniversay on the 22nd. I have been trying of a clever way to blog about it and I am a dud. I couldn't come up with anything that someone hasn't already done. So I decided to have Baylie take some photographs of us. If you didn't know she is very talented and she has shown me up a few times with her creativity. So she took these, I edited them a little and I LOVE them. Marty and I didn't have a fancy wedding and really have no photos of the whole event so I was so pleased with how these turned out. There were a few more I would have liked to have posted but I was having some issues...it was taking too long, I'm impatient I guess!

The wind was also blowing about 95 mph this day, it's not a fan I promise!!
