Good Brownies and Birthdays

Ah.... brownies what can you say about them? I found a great recipe that is actually good for you and not bad tasting either! All you do is take one can of black beans (puree them in your blender) then add the pureed black beans to a bagged brownie mix and cook as directed on package! Nothing to it! I used an off brand of black beans and an Always Save brand of brownie mix. OOH Maddy just loved them! So I think I'll make an extra batch to have on my birthday this weekend w/ Maddy.

We are planning to stay in a hotel in Branson for one night (check in-then go to SDC for a few hours). Then come back from SDC and go swimming-as if we wont get enough water from the rides at SDC & rest up. The 5th my actual birthday we are doing an all day trek at SDC! So be prepared to see us sunburned and cranky on Sunday morning at church-LOL!

Obviously this is the SDC Logo at the SDC Park in Branson-WAHOO CAN'T WAIT TO GO!!!

This is the hotel we are staying at- Maddy says "AWESOME MOM! We can swim like a Dolphins"

Growing Pains

Today is a happy but somewhat sad day. My little nephew (little YEAH RIGHT at 6 ft. 8 in). He took his drivers test today and that is just one more step toward more freedom and growing up

:( I can still remember when I changed his diaper for the first time, helped him ride his bike, you know all the mushy stuff! He's a good young man and I know he will do great things in the future. I am proud of him and love him sooooooooo much!

Aunt Ty-Ty loves you and is proud of you honey!

Snow days and frayed nerves!

This is the 3rd day of snow ICK! I fully realize that my daughter loves it and in a some small way so do I BUT enough is enough!

Tomorrow's agenda: Breakfast, put on snow clothes, come in for some hot cocoa, go back out and play some more!

Oh my the fun but ENOUGH OF THE FLIPPN SNOW!!!!
