Totally Addicted

Every two weeks like clock work I am at my girlfriend Melanie's house get my nails done and for the first few minutes we have to catch up from the last two weeks then we start talking about FOOD...RECIPES....and of course our addiction to COUPONS. So, I came across this TERRIFIC site that has wonderful, real, and mainly simple recipes with pictures....gotta have pictures! Before you go check it out let me tell you that I have made many of the recipes and they have turned out PERFECT and so YUMMY! If you are like me and have a husband that loves "MEN FOOD" this is the place.
OK! OK! OK! Wait one more thing...It's just not a recipe site she has photography, home & garden, & much much more. But I LOVE the recipes. I have made the "Man-Pleasin'. Delicious twice baked potatoes, Refried Beans, Rolls & Pie shells this past week. All a huge hit.

Go check it out.... thepioneerwoman.com. There is a direct link on my blog list.
Let me know what you think. Happy Cooking!

Hunter's Big Day

Hunter's BIG day!

February 28th, Hunter was baptised. We are all so proud of him that he made the decision to do so. It was an AmaZing day not only for him but for the rest of us. Hunter has this very special spirit about him that just GLOWS and effects everyone around him. He is loves learning about Heavenly father and Jesus.

He decided that he wanted to have his GREAT Grandpa Fotheringham baptise him and his Grandpa Gardner confirm him. I wish I could put into words what it was like watching my oldest son and my Grandfather ALL in white walk down the step together into the baptismal font hand in hand. It was an unforgetable moment in time for all of us. My Grandpa is the most handsome , loving, caring, talented and funny men I will ever know. He baptised my Mom (oldest child), Me(oldest grandchild, and now Hunter (oldest great-grandchild).

His Grandpa Gardner gave him an amazing blessing. He blessed him when he was a baby and now to confirm him was so perfect.

It was our wards turn in our stake to put on the program, so since Hunter was the only one in our ward getting baptised that night it was up to us. He ask his Grandma Gardner to give a talk on baptism, she did an AMAZING job! They have this amazing bond with each other. She enlarged some amazing pictures poster size from the book REFLECTIONS OF CHRIST by Mark Mabry. If you aren't familiar with this book it is one of my favorites you need to check it out. Thanks MOM!

He also had his Uncle Jace give a talk on the Holy Ghost! He also did a TERRIFIC job! Hunter has always looked up to him! Thanks JACE!

He had alot of people come and support him! It was a GREAT day!

I asked him how he felt when he came out of the water and told me....

"I just feel like the same Ol' me"

so cute.
