This and That of Summer

Emily on her first day of kindergarten and on her last day!

  I bought this book a couple of weeks ago, and it is so good!  If you have a girl, you ought to read this.  I remember some of my friends reading Bringing up Boys a few years ago.  I am so glad there is one for girls too.


Sarah Kate on her birthday, June 14th.  We made the pink cupcakes, minus the cheese, and she said she did not like them.  She told me that they did not taste like Pinkalicious' cupcakes.  Like she would know.
She wanted Sonic for her birthday dinner.  The girls have a new love for Sonic.

Thursday night I went to Caroline's wedding.  I love a love story and I love a good wedding!  Everything was beautiful!
Faith and Jenna.  I meet them a couple of years ago in Atlanta when we went to a Beth Moore conference together.  You can tell by looking that they are sweet girls.

Two of my favorites:  Jill and Hillary.  Hillary spent the night at our house after the wedding and I loved her company.  So did Sarah Kate!

 Meredith and Russell.  I have known Meredith all my life. We share South Arkansas roots.

The beautiful bride.

Hillary, me and Kelly

You all coordinated in that last picture which makes it even sweeter! I recently read some books by Dannah Gresh that you would enjoy- Keeping the Little in Your Girl and Eight Great Dates; both are a bit down the road for you, but great resources to have! :)

So fun! I can't wait for Caroline to update her blog! Talk about keeping us in suspense! Not that she hasn't had any planning to do!
Your girls are precious as always! Happy summer to you!

If you ever head south on 71 and go thru Mena, Arkansas you need to stop at our Cruizzers right off the highway. It used to be Sonic but the dropped the franchise and it's the same basic menu but SO SO much better. Seriously, best ever! :)

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....

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.
