This and That

I've been a little busy lately so I haven't posted as much as I'd like...

Just to fill you in a little...

  • School is out for me!!! Woo Hoo!!! I still have to work some this summer, but not every day!
  • Eli's baseball season is almost over. His team won the first game of his tournament this past Monday night. He is playing the second game tonight...don't know yet if they won or not.
  • Max began T-ball Monday night. He even made a double play!!! The boys both participated in their field day a couple of weeks ago. See pics below...
  • Oki has been sick this week. We took a road trip to see Dr. Adams in Dothan on Tuesday. Diagnoses: Bronchitis, ear infection in Rt. ear, ingrown toenail. Cure: Antibiotic, steroid, cough med. She's much better now, but we decided it would be best for her to stay in tonight...that's why I'm not at the ball field watching my biggest boy play...

Eli and Max after field day...

Max after his first T-Ball game...Brothers doing what they do best...goofing around!



I french braided Oki's hair for the first time recently. Yes, she did sit still. Here she is holding her daddy's hand...modeling her hair do!

Kayla and Oki

Oki at the pool for the first time this season...she didn't want any part of the cool water!!!

I guess that's enough for tonight!

I really don't know what to call these things, so I just made the name up! I got this recipe at church the other night from Mrs. Berry. It was so tasty that I thougth I would share it! Sweet Potato Dumplings Ingredients: 2 Cans Crescent Rolls 1 Package of Sweet Potato Patties (Cut in Half) 1 1/2 Cups Water 3/4 Cup Butter 1.5 Cup Light Brown Sugar 1.5 tsp. Vanilla Cinnamon Directions: Wrap each 1/2 Sweet Potato Patty in a crescent roll and place in a large shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. (You will have 16 rolls) Combine water, butter and sugar in a small pan and boil until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over rolls, sprinkle with cinnamon.   Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to sit a little while before serving. I made 1/2 of this recipe and it turned out fine. Happy Cooking!

Ranch Potato Salad

Most recipes that I use are not original to me.  I almost always use recipes from friends or the internet.  This recipe, however is one of my own.  After I graduated from college and before I got a teaching job, I was a waitress at a small restaurant in town, MD's.  Some of you may remember it.  They served a delicious potato salad...This is my version! Ranch Potato Salad Ingredients: 3-4 lbs. Red Potatoes, washed and sliced 1/2  small red onion, finely chopped 1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix 2 (3oz) jars real bacon bits 16 oz sour cream 1/4 -1/2 cup mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste Directions: Boil potatoes until tender, but still firm.  Rinse in cold water and drain.  Mix remaining ingredients.  Pour mixture over potatoes and toss.  Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend.
