Homemade Peach Cobbler? Yes, Please!

Fresh peaches sliced and drained are a good start :)


yum...


Add 2 cups of sugar and 1 stick of butter


Instead of pie crust, I used white flour tortillas for the crust. It is easier, cheaper, and less calories!


Combine all ingredients into a bowl and cover with slices of the tortilla for the crust


Wa La!!!!

This is easy, yummy, and takes about 45 min on 350!
(Thank you Mrs. Bess for the recipe)

Like a kid in a candy shop :)




Aunt Moget took us to the candy store!

Jane Kimmel was verrryyy excited about her gummie bears and m&ms!

Hello cavities :)

My personal favorites!

Jane Kimmel LOVES her aunt Moget :)

A Voice in the Wind....

Ahhhhh... "A Voice in the Wind," by Francine Rivers, is by far one of the best books I have ever read. I just finished it today and through many tears of joy, conviction, sadness and thankfulness, I finally made it through. This book is the first of her Mark of the Lion series, which consist of 3 books. I am eagerly awaiting tomorrow morning so I can go to Barnes and Noble and purchase the 2nd one! If you have never read Francine Rivers, please GO NOW and purchase one of her books. I have grown to love her so much and find myself so spiritually lifted while reading her books. You get so wrapped up in her readings, that you will not be able to put it down... trust me! I encourage ALL of you to read this book, but just a little heads up... it is disturbing at times, but really makes you realize Gods grace and mercy. If you find yourself wanting to put it down because you can't handle it, please keep going. I promise you it will be well worth your time!

4th of July Weekend!!

The 4th of July is my favorite Summer Holiday! I love the sun, fireworks, and family gatherings. We had a great time this past weekend. We were busy bees, but enjoyed every minute of it! It started off with Jane Gray and Allan's going away party. Lewis and I told many white lies and spent many weeks planning with Mrs. Jamie and KK on how we were getting the Bledsoe's to Greenwood. The surprise was a SUCCESS! They were completely thrown off, and I know they had a great time seeing their closest friends and family before they head out to California. Here are some pictures! (A BIG THANK YOU to Ba Ba and KK for these pictures!)
