................on a stick

Wanted to do something fun for the boys............ so I made these marshmallows dipped in white chocolate then rolled in crushed oreos.
They brought a smile to their faces and a was yummy in their tummy.
That deed for the day can be marked off my list! :)

Have a great day all
God Bless

Not the news we wanted to hear..................



Well...........Ken's biopsy report came back and he has relapsed. *sigh*

So........ back to the hospital he goes for 30 days for another round of chemo.
He was admitted this morning. Back to the drawing board. The hope is that we go straight from remission to transplant! So please ... if you would ............ say an extra prayer for him. This really stinks .... but like all things God has got us through.... He'll get us through this too!


If you dont mind me being honest here..... I know this is all in God's plan... but I'm not real fond of this plan. *sigh*


Dont get me wrong... I am so very grateful to EVERYTHING God has done for us in our lives and helped us get through... but........... as any child... we dont always like I parents plans.


God Bless you all!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Please take a minute to pray for him!
Thank you all!
God Bless!!!!!

School Colors Bundt Cake.................

Oh..................this was fun!
So....... I made this cake for our Wrestling Team Banquet Dinner last night!

First of all the food was Fantastic!!! Everyone did a wonderful job!
We had a 'Thanksgiving Dinner' theme.... due to some of our boys having to skimp on their own Thanksgiving dinner during wrestling season in order to keep weight.

I made a Ham and gravy.... along with this really cool cake.
I did my best to get school colors....
