Already Middle Of September..??

Hello Blog Readers! I'm sorry...for such another long time with no posting. Thing is, I honestly haven't baked anything for months. Why, I don't know. But I have something up my sleeve for tomorrow. A Neopalitian Banana Cake....we will see how it turns out.

Right now I am currently taking this semester off school and working. And in-between doing photo sessions, frisbee games, hitting the mall, trips to the theater w/family or friends, multiple trips to get ice cream with friends, church activities, and then of course the usual...spending time with family and friends.

Annnd, last Friday was a whole new experience for me. I'm currently the 2nd baseman on our softball team and well. Last Friday, which was our last game for the season....I ended up spending most of the evening in the ER. During the game I went to catch a fly ball and the ball ended up landing on my face instead of the mit.
I fractured my nose and received 2 black eyes. It was also my first time ever in the ER....a tough night.
Buuut, God has healed me amazingly. My black eyes are almost completely gone and I got my stitches out yesterday. My family took amazing care of me and I found out during my week of recovery that God has truly given me the "best" family and friends in this world.

I also think I had enough injuries for the year. Lets see...a fat bruised lip from snowboarding, breaking my middle finger when the wind shut the door on my hand, and a fractured nose....hmmm. Yup. Hopefully that is all.

And Lord willing. Next softball season. I will be back out on that field.

My latest photo session was of my softball coach's family.

Ohhhh Adalyn. She is my very favorite 1 year little girl. Her pigtails are melting. Her little smile with 2 bottom teeth and 2 top teeth are equally melting. I think we have a future Miss America on our hands.

Have a wonderful Friday! We have had 20 days of sunshine and beautiful weather....I couldn't ask for anything better. See you with a recipe very soon!!

Final Check-In Post...Because I'm Back Now!

Hello blog readers. This is my final check-in summer post. I am excited to get back in the kitchen...and start cooking up some recipes! Thank you much guys for sticking with me thru my blogging break.

You can't really tell but we are all sweaty and gross here. A few of the many friends that we play frisbee with. Ignore my brothers shoe tan....he thanks you.

1st day of VBS! It was pretty amazing to see God working thru the hearts of the children. The praise and worship time was the best.

Dancin' and singing with Miss Hailey. One of my favorite little people.

Oh Miss Maggie. My favorite 3 year old blonde little girl.

I will see you next with a post for the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe ever and I found out how to make your cookies perfectly round! Have a great rest of a week and see you soon!

Summer, Summer, Summer.

I'm still here. I've come to the conclusion that summer is going by way "too" fast. Way too fast. But I'm soaking it all up. We have been busy with softball practices, softball games, Ultimate Frisbee, swimming, being with friends, and now this whole week VBS. We were able to go to our county fair last week....it was pretty hard to get one of everyone smiling. Thus resulting in the above picture.


Softball and more softball. Teaches you a lot.

My sisters and I with a friend....yeah I'm a total goof.

Have a great rest of a week and I will see you with another update in not too long!

Summer Days....Summer Fun.

Whew, good Friday everyone! Hope your summer has been going well. Mine has been very busy but beyond fun. We are heading into another packed 4th of July weekend....which will include lots of food. I will be back with some food posts next week and lots more pictures. Thank you again guys for hanging in here with me!

Ultimate Frisbee is amazing.

We had spent the day at a friends graduation party and then playing ultimate frisbee afterwards. Here we are just goofin off....a must for our famalies.

L to R: Steven, Me, Lisa, & Joe. Personally...I think we look nothing alike.

Happy 4th of July!
