Happy 4th of July!!

We had an awesome 4th, not quite like days past, but great all the same. Scout took Curly to the airport early this morning for FCCLA Nationals in Orlando, so he had his own celebration.

Baby Doll wasn't feeling very well, so she slept most of the day. Scout is watching Crafty's pup here at the house while she is on vacation with B's family. Brisket is afraid of the fireworks and that has made things more difficult, but we are managing.

We planned an impromptu party this afternoon. My sweetie bought fireworks and I made brats and hotdogs, baked beans, corn on the cob, and melon.

Beauty and The Beast came over with their boys. Scout's friend, K and her fiancé joined as well. After dinner, we played Blank Slate until is was dark enough for fireworks.

 


Oh, and most importantly, Bossy announced her new little one due in December on Facebook, so I can share the exciting news with all of you!

Happy 4th of July!

Gender Reveal!!

Teach called me this morning. Apparently, there is a new and quicker way to test for gender. They do a DNA test and if it shows a Y chromosome,  the baby is a boy.

But wait!

I'm getting ahead of myself. 

So Teach held up her fingers, one at a time. A pink one for Twizlet, a blue one for Twizzler, and another pink one for Twizzle.

Then she held up two more pink nails for the twin baby girls she is carrying!


Two more little granddaughters...

So excited!!

Guest Blog: Single Ward Potluck by the Dog Walker

 Sorry about the wait for a post, I just didn't know what to write about until today. I have been attending the Singles Ward for about half a year and still trying to talk to girls. Like I said before, it's still not an easy process at 31 years of age, but it's still going on. Today at the Singles Ward Linger-longer, it was a potluck and I brought my family's favorite dish, Apple & Banana Salad. You remember the recipe on how it's easily made. There were a lot of single adults at the linger-longer after Church. We had briskets and many kinds of salads and desserts. Some of the members thought that the apple and banana salad was good. It would seem like a big hit for this dish that I made so much of it just for the ward members, but we've all had our fair share of many other things, like pasta salad, grilled mac-and-cheese, and other fruit salads. I was glad that I was able to share the delicious recipe to the ward.
