Thanksgiving/Black Friday - 11/27/09

Well I cannot believe that it is this time of year again. I love Thanksgiving. It is probably my favorite Holiday. I love being together with my family. We had a great time again this year. We ate lunch with GG and supper with Nanny & Pop. We celebrated as well with all of our siblings and their kids. We are such a blessed nation. God has blessed both sides of our families so much. We are all so thankful to be together again this year.

As for Black Friday - I was sooo exhausted.!!!! Myself, my sister and my mom went shopping together on Black Friday. We headed out around 3:30 a.m. and shopped literally until we dropped around 3:00 p.m. We stopped only for minutes to get a Starbucks coffee & cider around 5:30 and then around 12:30 we stopped for lunch at Olive Garden. One of all of our favorite restuarants. We had a wonderful day together!! Looking forward to going again next year. Oh BTW, we did find some really great deals if you are interested in that. However, the time we spend together meant much more!!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Twirling Time

Raechel loves Baton more and more each year. This will be her 3rd year of Twirling. We are very proud of her and her accomplishments. She has twirled in parades, recitals & fall festivals. Here are a couple of pics of her performing at the Margaret Day of Friendship.

Baseball Time

This year Nathan has played alot of baseball. We really enjoy watching him play. He is such the little athlete. We played Spring, All-Stars, Fall & Fall Travel Ball. We have been very busy with it. Glad to say that we are off for the next couple of months. We all needed a well deserved break. Here is a couple pics of our little All-Star!!!

Raechels New Doo!!!

Today we went to get Raechel a new haircut. She decided that she wanted alot of hair cut off, so this is what she came up with. I think she looks adorable!! What a beautiful sweet girl I have.

Muffin Mix Pancakes

New recipe - Tried this on Wednesday morning. Easy as pie and yummy to eat!!

Martha White Muffin Mix
Milk

Mix your muffin mix (any flavor) with a little more milk than it says on the package. You want your consistency to be thinner than muffin batter. It should be easy to pour out onto your griddle. This makes great flavored Pancakes!!!! YUMMY!!!!

Let me know what you think after you try it. :)

Exciting Day in my Business

Well today was a very exciting morning. Slept in - overslept - was in a rush and signed a girl up under me in Premier Jewelry Designs all between the times of 8:50-9:30. It was a wild and crazy morning but a great morning. Sounds like a usual day, well the overslept and rushing part anyway. Looking forward to helping my "1st child" in Premier start her business off the right way. Please pray that I will continue to do well in my business!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday - Will post again later on this week.

I'm Back!!!

I wanted to let everyone know that I have not died and went to heaven. I have just been out of pocket for awhile. I am very excited to say that I am back to blogging at least one time a week hopefully. I do miss sharing with my friends what is going on in our lives.
Right now school is going great for both Raechel & Nathan. They love their classes and teachers and so do we. Nathan is playing baseball and Raechel is still twirling with Sidelines. They are both enjoying their extra curricular lives. We love watching them excel in all that they do. We are very proud of both of them. David is working a lot and we are so thankful for his job and the way that he has been able to provide for our family. I lost my job at the end of last year and started subbing again this year. I just could not stay away from those kids. I love it!!!
I guess the most exciting thing going on with me is that I have started selling Premier Jewelry and absolutely love it!!! It by far is the best home show business to work for. I usually do several parties a week. It is so much fun to meet new people and serve them through my business. Premier is a faith based company and a percentage of its sales goes to mission work. You know I am lovin that!! Enough about me - I will be posting some recipes, pictures and other stuff as soon as I can get my pictures to download. Please check out the blog weekly.
Have a great week!!!
