Thoughts and story of a dear college friend who was impacted by the flood. I encourage you all to take the time to read each one...it might just change your life.

More to come!

Baby Jack

Several weeks ago my Sunday School class had a baby shower for our Sunday School teachers who will be welcoming baby #4 to the family very soon!

Here are some pictures from the night...

 This fabric is just too cute!!

March

Pictures from things in March I never posted!

AL alumni event

Becca did a great job with planning this event.

5K to raise money for equipment at work...I did not have to wear the dog costume this year!

February

Just a little late on posting pics from February...oh well!

The month started out with a celebration for Christy's Birthday...

I think this is so cute! ha!

Jill is pregnant! Yea!

The next weekend we made our annual trip to AL for a gymnastics meet and basketball game.

Another victory for the Tide! They beat FL that night!!!

The next day was the basketball game!

I love these pictures because it was dark and after several attempts I figured out the right settings on my camera to get these pictures!

The game was soooo boring the first half. I think I played on my phone most of the game.

Half-time show was somewhat entertaining because Big Al danced, too.

The game did get a little bit more exciting, so I put down my phone and watched AL come from behind to beat AR!!! It was a close game in the end but the Tide rolled on to yet another victory!

I also celebrated my 27th Birthday with family and friends (no pics) in February.

We had family dinner and dessert there because it is so good!! Then we went over to Jason and Jessica's to play the best game ever!! It was a fun night with my sweet family!!!

Bake Sale

We are having another bake sale at work this week. Here are the cookies I made...originally 92 cookies  total...only 84 made it to the baskets at work...I promise they broke!

I love this sugar cookie recipe because the dough does not spread so the cookies keep their shape. It also helps that it tastes good, too.

The royal icing recipe I used is really a glaze but it is sooooooooo good!!! I also like decorating with it more than the other royal icing I have tried.

I used food color spray for the frogs which I now love!! I need more colors!

These are acutally tulip cookie cutters...not my idea but I love it!
