Homemade Oreos' People

I made these!

Hands down one of the best cookies I've ever had.
The filling will make you do back flips!
But arm yourself with a glass of milk.
They are dunkers!

Have a great weekend!
I am cleaning house like a mad woman to get ready for company tonight. 
I am making this.
Wish me luck!

love.

Creepy Things

I was putting a few items into our safe, and I came across this...

a postcard from Catalina signed by OJ Simpson...

in our safe?

I ask myself, who is going to steal this?

And why are we keeping this safe?

I'm sure my husband put this in here for a reason.

I'm guessing, he is hoping that one day, ONE DAY this lil' baby

will be worth some money.

I'm thinking that one day, is very far away.

But I love my man for keeping this around.

It's pretty funny but pretty darn creepy.

Dear Mom.

This is what my 7 year old left me...

As parents, we work so hard to build foundations of love, compassion & kindness in our kids, and so when we see it

in action...it makes it all worth it.

His heart blows me away.

This is my kid!

Good things

A succulent in the windown sill,

A thumbsucker,

and a new high chair.

3 months

Today you are 3 months old.

Your smile brightens the room

and melts my heart.

I can't believe that I get to hang out with you all day!

Now, I am stepping away from the computer to get ready to watch LOST!!! and eat some Dharma chocolate chip cookies!!!

We like to Party...

So, we had a baby food making party!

Why not right?

We're young, have loads of babies (who need to eat) and so why not get together & make some baby food!

We cooked for about 3 hours and made a ton of baby food.

And...my blender died in the process.

RIP dear friend.

You've been with me for a long, long time...

it was sad to see you sitting in my trash can.

Overall, the day was eventful to say the least.

Some moments will be etched into our brains for eternity.

It was one of the wildest parties I've been too in a very long time!

Truth

We met with friends for dinner Friday night.



And although the Mexican food was pretty darn amazing, the conversation is what has been with me since that night.


The topic started about what it is to be fully devoted to Christ.


Kyle and I really need to step it up in the faith department.
God is really pulling on us to be more personally involved with our church family.

My problem (and is what we talked about) is this:



(Here goes my dose of honesty…don’t judge)



• I am extremely insecure. So insecure in fact that when I am surrounded by church going Christian folks…my insecurity radar is off the charts….I don’t speak Christian. Which means I feel like I’m never Christian enough for them… sick I know?


• And getting personally involved with real live people at church means I am accountable to them. And that’s a lot of pressure, but makes no sense.


Ultimately and the most brilliant thing is, it’s not about other people. It’s about God. The words I speak, as long as they are done so in love and in truth…how could I falter?


And being accountable to other people is a hurdle I know I have to overcome, but if I miss a day at church it’s me that is missing out on an opportunity to be a part of something beautiful, something pure.


After some serious words and a few boxes of Girl Scout Cookies later, I was beat.
But in a good way.


I needed to be beat.
