Oreo balls are one of my favorite things to make this time of year. I made them yesterday for Ricky's birthday. They are simple to make and soo rich! I can only eat a couple before the chocolate gets me! I've seen a couple different recipes but here is how I make mine.

One package of Oreo cookies
1 can of cream cheese frosting
Almond bark (white/chocolate or both!)


Crust oreo in blender or in a ziplock bag with a hammer!!
(a great way to take out the days stress)
Mix can of icing in with the oreo crumbs
Refrigerate for about 15 mins
After they have chilled roll into small balls~ I use a melon baller
Melt the almond bark as directed
Dip the oreo ball into the almond bark
and let set up on wax paper

These are so good and my family can expect t see these for our Christmas get togethers!!

Any great ideas out there for finger foods?

Big 29!

Today this wonderful person turns 29! I can't imagine life without his crazy funny ways. Happy Birthday!

Reading

Regan read his first sentence lastnight with out me having to say the words first for him.~~~~~~I see three circles.~~~~~~ What a moment!


I'm a proud meme (that is what he calls me)

Nutcracker

Today Regan and I went with my mom to see The Nutcracker put on by Knox concert series. It was GREAT! The dancers were amazing and you could see the story unfolding while they danced. It was the first time Regan has been to a ballet and he was so good. A few times during the ballet he started trying to dance in his seat! He was so excited and would clap even while the dancers were dancing!! We had a wonderful time and I'm so glad my mom made it work for us to go.
I wish I had taken my camera with us but next time I will for sure!

DIY~ Christmas Shirt!

I'm super excited about a Christmas shirt I made Karly. It is super easy and super CUTE!! I can't sew at all, so making her Christmas outfits is just out of the question for me. Anytime I get to make her something to wear it just means alot to me.




This is a onesie and the Christmas tree is made out of ribbon loops! When the shirt is on the tree fills out more and so you can't see where I messed up on the spacing. Let me know if you want details on how to make it!

I've got lots of ribbon to make her some more in different themes and colors! My favorite is hounds tooth and red!! I can't wait to see her in it!

This last picture is just because she is CUTE!

Day 4

See it didn't take long for me to miss a day on the 30 day challenge! I'm so scattered lately I have lost my favorite camera, keys to our firebox, and some Christmas presents! Oh well so far I have kept up with the kids so I guess I'm doing okay.

Day 4

Your favorite picture of your best friend.

This is Ricky playing on a playground in Tennessee. He is so funny at playgrounds. He will go down every slide and swing on every swing that the kids play on. He is their built in playmate! He makes me want to let go and just have fun!
