Our New Baby Goes Outside

Elizabeth ran and jumped and seemed to love the sunshine while her mom, Lily got to munch on some fresh cut grass. They are both doing well and we are so thankful.




I got a great picture of our barn as well. I just love our farm in the spring. Everything is so green and beautiful and there is new life everywhere. It reminds me of how faithful God is and how he always takes care of us. And makes me think of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus tells us not to worry as even the birds are taken care of by our heavenly father. He is awesome and amazing.

Mini Truck Show-First Place and Best of Show




UPDATE: Look who won First Place and Best of Show, Mini-Truck! Congratulations, Little Bro!


We enjoyed a great day with my brother-in-love at a local Car Show that he entered his truck in today. He has worked so hard on it and we are so happy for him. At the last show he entered he walked away with First Place in his class.



Dear hubby and his baby brother.
My dream car.... I know it's cheesy, but I love it and some day dear hubby's going to buy us one so we can go out west.

Mom's Pizza Crust Recipe



O.k. I have to give a shout out to my mom, "Hi, Mom"!

My Mom has the best and easiest pizza crust recipe ever and I wanted to share it with all of you.

1 to 2 tbsp. butter
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Place butter in a 13 x 9 pan and melt while preheating oven to 400. (Being careful not to burn the butter.)

Beat milk and eggs in a bowl with a wire whisk. Add in remaining ingredients, beating until smooth.

Remove pan from oven and tilt to coat sides. Pour in batter (it will be VERY thin, don't worry) and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 and bake for 10 minutes longer.

Top with you favorite sauce and toppings and place back in oven for 8 to 10 minutes to melt cheese.

Makes about 4 servings.

Feel free to add your favorite spices to the crust mix to add a little kick!

Thanks Mom!!!!!

The things we do for love.....



A few weekends ago we went to Bristol TN to the Nascar Race. Now let me assure you that racing is not really my thing but when we surprised our son with the tickets for his birthday I thought he might pass out.
Really who would think that a little boy would get that excited to watch cars go in circles 500 times?!# Wait a minute am I talking about dear hubby or dear son?

But the most amazing reaction was from our daughter! She was speechless (if you knew her you'd know how amazing that really is)! She almost couldn't control herself!




We had a great time camping with my Dad (who provided us with our wonderful camping accommodations) and dear hubby's best friend who always provides us with side splitting laughter!
