Food Friday

I love a trifle. They are so fun and usually always super yummy. I want to make this recipe for my next little shindig. Doesn't it look scrumptious?! Seriously, my mouth is watering.

This was our Valentine's Day dessert. It made me smile. I asked Randall what he wanted and he said "a mousse and a graham cracker". He didn't think I would really serve it to him, but I did! Be careful what you ask for. It was yummy, simple and a crowd pleaser.
I made a box of instant butterscotch pudding. I then added whip cream and cracker crumbs. I found pretty glasses and added the garnish. My boys soaked this up!
It reminded me of my childhood and I wished I had made cook and serve instead of instant. My mama would put chocolate pudding in these pretty little glasses that had a real big silver rim. She would not let us eat it until they cooled all the way. I can remember standing in front of the fridge with the door open, just waiting!
I love this little foodie of mine. He was eating grilled fish and avocado. Only my child would be that excited about such foods. Randall swears he must belong to the UPS man!

Happy Food Friday!

Your mama must have something in common with my mama. She also served up all pudding like foods in pretty cups - her best crystal - and forced us to wait and wait until it was all set. Eating out of a beatiful dish just makes the food taste better.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
