Mmmmmm....

.... I want to try this recipe! Soon! I mean... Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn?! How could you go wrong?!

Cheeseburger Muffins

This recipe is simple and easy. The seasonings give it just a hint of a kick, so it's not boring old hamburger. I'd definitely fix it again.

Ladies' Christmas Tea 2009!

Here are the tables from this year's Christmas Tea. The ladies from our church make "tablescapes". There's a catered meal, door prizes, music, and a speaker. This year, we voted for the "Most Fun", "Most Elegant", and "Most Traditional" tables. It's so girly and fun!! The event was fabulous! I wish that these pictures did the tables justice - it's so much more magical in person!! Mom, Dad, and Ben all helped with my table (it's the one with the gold tablecloth and gold giant star with the Willow Tree nativity (towards the bottom)). Mom and I are already scheming for next year:) I hope you enjoy:)!

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend was last week, but better late than never, right?

On Friday, we went to see Ben's brother, Daniel, play football. He was awesome!

The Coin Toss

We also spent time with my family at the campground.

The guys had fun playing mini-guitars.

What a ripoff! Plastic pizza:).


Beckett loved watching his dad play guitar.

Bethany feeding herself. She was so smiley all weekend!

Don brought us treats from Dairy Queen, so we had an ice cream party.

Paul was such a mess:). He was banned to the deck to finish his dilly bar.

Isaac and Don played Settlers of Catan with us.

Dad and Paul playing tug of war.

Autumn learned how to catch a ball.

On Monday, we visited Grandpa and Grandma and took them for a walk.

They were so cute, because they wanted to hold hands.

The crew (minus Mom and me):

Bethany played ball with us. It was so funny, because when we would roll the ball to her, she would kick it back to us.

Bunco!

Some of the ladies from our church play Bunco once a month. We take turns hosting at our homes. August was my month to host. I had a picnic theme.

The centerpieces also served as the prizes for the evening. My mom had received one as a teacher's gift from one of her students. There's a recipe attached for Old-Fashioned Lemonade.

This was the drink table:

Oh no! Invading ants! (My mom found them here.)

This is a picture of the food table, before the food:

Another hit from Bakerella - cupcake buns with brownie hamburgers and sugar cookie fries:
