Wow! Donny & I had a great weekend! It all started with my Mom's 57th bday on friday! We cooked shrimp, homemade french fries, & Kim busted out the 3rd homemade cheesecake. Let me elaborate...Kim is my brother Stebo's girlfriend. The first time we met her she brought a "fresh from her kitchen" pumpkin roll. The second time I saw her, she brought "fresh from her kitchen" toffee, peanut brittle, & all kinds of cookies. The truth is...the chick can bake! Per Mom's request, she made a cheesecake. Thursday night, she was driving home from a friends house and her precious cheesecake fell on the floor of her car while rounding a curve. The kitchen saw her again, at 5:00 am on Friday, to make another one. That one didn't turn out exactly like she wanted, soooooo, we made another one when she got to my mom's house on friday evening. Poor thing! She practically had the recipe memorized by that time!! But, I must say...It was GREAT! This is Mom, Kim, & Me!
My very first nephew...Ty...One of my favorite things!!
Ty, was my other brother..Rick's first born. I can still remember that rainy day in September we were blessed with him. I couldn't get from Tyler, to Nacogdoches to Baytown fast enough to see him!! Tammi hadn't had him yet, so I was trying to keep her company by talking about my new friends I had met at college. I kept saying, "Tammi, I have a new friend. Her name is Sarah. She is from this town called Hughes Springs"....and I kept rambling and rambling.....Ty is growing up for sure...but he is such a tender hearted little guy. He cares about other peoples feelings...He is sooo smart....& most of all....He LOVES HIS KK!!
My 2nd niece...Brie....One of my favorite things!!
Sweet baby Brie...Rick's second born. What a special little angel! Every time I go to Dayton, we always go pick up baby Brie! She is a cutie, and spoiled to the core! My dad is in love that baby!! She finally took over my daddy's princess throne that I occupied for 28 years. I was glad to pass that on to her!! ;) Brie is loved by SO many people, and I know that she will also grow up to be an amazing young lady...that also LOVES HER KK!!
Mom & Dad had the most beautiful flowers in bloom...and I couldn't help but snap a few pics of my little loves. It was a tad bit windy on Saturday, so we had her hat on.
Donny....One of my favorite things!!
Golden, D, Babe...just a few things that I call him!! I can't imagine my life without him! He makes me laugh, he wipes my tears when I cry about my bad days & is my biggest supporter in life. Donny is a thyroid cancer survivor! What a strong & amazing man! He proposed just days after he finished his first radiation treatment...such an exciting time! When he was asked about our future before we got married he said, "I'm excited...It's going to be like having a slumber party everyday with my best friend!"
Certainly I have more...but these are just a few of my favorite things!!
Thank you, Lord, for all of these things!
