For the last 7 or 8 years we have been filling out NCAA basketball brackets at our house. We started this now tradition when the twins were 2 or 3. We would say the name of the teams playing, and they would say the team they thought sounded the best. It was the most fun.Continue reading “March Madness-Our Style”

Christmas in Dixie
S Family Christmas comes every year and every year it is great fun. We head to Daddy’s house in Mississippi for a fun-filled day of family, gifts and food. And almost every year Daddy is supporting and sporting a new team’s pullover….just kidding. He went from Arkansas to Ole Miss and now back to Memphis.Continue reading “Christmas in Dixie”
Food Friday
We spent our third Christmas at home this year. As I have posted before, we decided we would always try to have Henry in his home for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I was always at home growing up and Randall wasn’t. He said it was not enjoyable and wanted to ensure that Henry haveContinue reading “Food Friday”
Santa Claus Came To Town
Santa came and came big. Before he came we had to soak up the real meaning of Christmas. We went to church on Christmas Eve and Nana and Papa came in time to go with us. We got to sing and light glow sticks…Henry loved it! He got to go in the service with usContinue reading “Santa Claus Came To Town”

A Zoo Christmas
We went to Zoo Lights in Memphis the other night after work. We decided at lunch that day that it was a good night to take Henry, so off we went. We love Memphis. It is where we fell in love. We tried to tell Henry about it as we drove over the “new” bridgeContinue reading “A Zoo Christmas”
Turkey Times
My boys and I loaded up last Wednesday and headed west to the Lone Star state to have Thanksgiving at my grandparents. There were 25 of us. It was great fun. Marmie (my mama) loved having us there.

Food Friday
I know Easter is over, but this week I have not done much in the kitchen. Here is a recap of our Easter meal. I love to set the table in an overly festive way. I come by it honest. It is in my genes. I also had other great influences in my life likeContinue reading “Food Friday”
Christmas Part 2
We stayed in Fort Smith through Christmas day. The kids were so excited to get to spend Christmas there they could hardly stand it. Last year we stayed home and they were less than thrilled with that. They love the busy-ness of going from place-to-place and having grandparents surround them for the holiday. At home,Continue reading “Christmas Part 2”
