April is Almost Over!

April has been a very busy month, but a very fun month! Sarah Kate was Snow White in her school play! This is her thing! She LOVES performing! She really is a good little actress! I was so proud of her!

I turned 45 on April 1st! Emily made me a Birthday sign! I thought it was funny that she called me mother. She usually always calls me mama! Mother sounds so formal. I thought it was so sweet that she made me this sign!

I bought Frisco a plaid bow tie! It does not seem to bother him, although he looks angry in this picture!

Easter was a wonderful day! Look at my bunny ears! Hee Hee! It is just the bunny wreath in the background.

Happy belated birthday! My daughters, 22 & 23 years old now, still call me mama. BUT, like your daughter, when they sign or write something to me they write "Mother". I'm not sure why and have never asked. I just enjoy it, just like you!

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.
