Erin Condren craze!

I so want to join the Erin Condren craze! I have drooled over this planner for weeks now....but just can't seem to turn lose of $50.00!


SOOO....i'm linking up to a blog I just recently discovered....The Link Home.....she's doing a give-away for a gift certificate to Erin Condren! Keep your fingers crossed I win and go check out her blog, it's awesome!!

Going through the "Big D".....

Got your attention, huh!

Today was my day off and Clint had to burn some vacation time, so I scheduled a Dr. appointment in Dallas. It wasn't until 2:00 so I spent some time watering my poor, thirsty flower beds this morning! After we left, Clint got a call from the office so he had to go by and see about some problems they were having...got that taken care of, then we were off! My Dr. office is right across from Academy and we had 45 minutes to kill, so we went in there. We came out with a new glove for McK, 2 Nike t-shirts from the $4.88 rack and a fancy, new pair of tennis shoes for me! I love Academy!
After my appointment, which went perfect, we stopped at Olive Garden! Yummy! It must have been my lucky day because Clint NEVER suggests italian food. It was so good!

We swung by the high school baseball game on the way home. It was a good one!

Whew! That was a busy day off! Back to work tomorrow and McK has a game!! Woo hoo! Go Scorpions!

Good Times....

The last week of July we spent at Hugo Lake. Clint, the kids and I stayed all week long and on Friday, the Underwoods joined us! We stayed on the lake ALL day long, it was FANTASTIC! We had a great time! Saturday we got up and ate then waited on the Russells to get there. We grabbed a bite of lunch, then, to the water we went!!! Billy and Becky brought their boat so we had plenty of room for everyone! We tubed, swam, skiied (or tried to! Haha Bryon!) swam some more! The kids had a contest who could make the biggest splash jumping off the boat. I can't remember when I have had a better time. We were exhausted when we got back to the camper. I mentioned to Clint, we could go on home if he wanted...I'd pack the camper while he loaded the boat and he AGREED! We drove home after dark and slept until 9 a.m. on Sunday. We were beyond exhausted but happy! The Underwoods and Russells have been our friends forever basically! Misty and I have been best friends since we were 4, our husbands, of course, had no choice but to be best friends! We all have known each other our whole lives! Our kiddos are inseperable most times! Thats what happens when you are surrounded by friends and people you love! We love you guys and can't wait until next year!!!


My sweetie and me!! Oh, how I love him!!

The "easiest" cookie recipe...EVER

I've had this "go-to" recipe for a while. I don't remember where I found it, but it has gotten me out of a pinch several times! And, did I mention, they are delicious?

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 Cup Peanut Butter, creamy or crunchy
1 Cup Sugar
1 egg

Mix together. Drop onto cookie sheet and flatten with sugared glass. Bake on 350 for 12 minutes. Makes about a dozen.

Yes, that is it! And they are sooo soft. Enjoy!

Let's play ball!

I love baseball and I love that I have a son that loves it too!! We are undeafted thus far this season! Whoo hoo! We were in a tournament this weekend and won! I was so proud of McKenna and how he played! He pitched and hit great!! We celebrated the win at De Happy Cajun on Lake Texoma. We all had different entrees and shared. The "gata" was good! I had a steak and it was fabulous!







On another note...I have been a cleaning fool the last week. We had someone come out and steam clean our carpets and it is fabulous! My best friend and I had a garage sale recently so I had cleaned out lots of stuff. Therefore, I had lots of space. I love not having clutter everywhere. Now, if only I can remember that when I go shopping!

Family Post

I realize this picture is from Christmas...but I wanted to remember this day. My dad's side of the family decided this year we would start a new tradition...an annual get-together at Christmas. We have a rather large family and it is SO hard for everyone to get together. Our family has had a tough last few years and it has made us very aware how precious family time is. We had a wonderful day and can't wait until next year!

The recent Snow-cation!

We have had a very unusual weather pattern as of late! We received measureable snow amounts 2 weeks in a row! My clinic closed for a total of 3 days, that has NOT happened in the 10 years I have worked there....so what's a girl to do while cooped up in the house? Bake, of course! and, play!
I channeled my inner Pioneer Woman and made a wonderful cake. I found it on a blog that I follow, Salt Creek Ranch. It was so easy and um,um good!

We also got in a little play time! My boys rigged up a set of skis behind the 4 wheeler...yeah, we're redneck! haha





I took my camera out for a little while, I was honestly afraid it was going to freeze! The temps got as low as 6 degrees. I did manage a few.






We are ready to get back in a routine....we're that kind of people!
