Girls and Cake I LOVE!

Do you think I liked the apple cake?

It was ohhhhhhhhhh sooooooooooo GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will give you the recipe. I got this out of my old home church cookbook. It is a dandy!

Fresh Apple Cake

3 c. chopped apples
2 1/2 c. flour
2 c. sugar (I used a LITTLE more)
2 eggs
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. cooking oil

Mix all together until dampened. Pour in large 9 inch tube pan that has been greased and floured. Bake at 350 for one hour.
I added 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon.

The girls liked this cake. Steve would not have eaten it if it were the last sweet on earth. He HATES apples. Actually all fruit.

Kelly and I put our girls together for a little matching outfit photo shoot. We got some framers. It is near impossible to get them all looking at the camera and still at the same time.



Sarah Kate was saying, "Come on, Let's go!"
We took Emily and Sarah Kate to their very first movie today. Emily LOVED it! The glasses bothered her. We saw Toy Story 3! SK made it through all but the last forty minutes. She was like trying to wrestle a bear. I was determined that she could stay through the show but, she was being so WILD that I HAD to take her out. The WHOLE theater knew she was there.
Emily had her friend, Summer, over to play yesterday. These girls have been in MDO and preschool together since they were babies. Sweet Summer also goes to our church.

People often ask me if we will have another baby. I often answer with, "I am too old and too tired!" It is the truth and I am feeling it tonight. I am worn out from the picture taking and the movie going.
Night Night!

Laurie-

We haven't met, but I enjoy reading your blog. I live in NWA also and would love to know what dance studio you use for your girls. I'm wanting to find a place that is fun but not too "shake your booty" fun. I want to keep her a little girl! I appreciate your blog and how you show your love for our Savior! Thanks for your help- Amy

That apple cake sounds amazing!!! I've had something similar...but your recipe sounds even better! I'll have to give it a try.

I loved looking at the photo shoot pics. When Kelly said y'all were going to do that...I'll admit that I got a smile on my face and said, "Bless your sweet hearts!" And even if they weren't ALL looking at the same time, those pics are precious and so are the girls!! Love the matching outfits. :)

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
