Mom

To the woman

Who has always encouraged me to reach for my dreams
Who always has a listening ear for my problems
Who stayed up to help me finish projects when I procrastinated
Who treats her dogs like her own children
Who has a heart of gold and loves unconditionally
Who loves Jesus
Who has been a terrific mother to me and a great best friend

Happy Birthday! I love you.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I know its been a while since I blogged but I have had a pretty lame - I mean slow - couple of weeks =).

In honor of my friend Jacque who absolutely loves Cinco de Mayo mainly because of her love for the number of 5, I have a recipe for everyone. I made chicken enchiladas and sopapilla cheesecake for Cinco de Mayo tonight. The sopapilla cheesecake was so good. I've made it several times and always get compliments from it. So because I love ya here it is:

Sopapilla Cheesecake
  • 2 cans of crescent rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 stick of butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press 1 can of crescent rolls on the bottom of a 9" X 13" pan. Mix cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread over rolls in the pan. Cover with other can of rolls in the pan. Melt butter and stir in the rest of the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the top. Bake for 30 minutes. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

ENJOY!!!

March for Babies

Yesterday, Jason and I walked the March for Babies walk with my friend, Jennifer, and her son. I was so excited I got to be a part of this walk this year. March of Dimes does so much research to find an end to premature birth. They helped fund research for the polio vaccine and spread awareness about folic acid to decrease neural tube defects. I love this organization! I hope this can become an annual thing for our family. I'm already trying to think of cute little slogans for the t-shirts I want to make. The weather was pretty nice as well. We thought it was going to rain but it held out and only started to sprinkle on the last half mile of the race.


On the shuttle bus to the park for the race

Waiting to walk. There were so many people there that it took us 3o minutes to cross over the starting line.

Look at the camera, Jacob!

We took turns carrying Jacob during the walk. He fell and skinned his knees and didn't feel like walking anymore. Poor thing.


After the 5 miles. Yes, I'm wearing a different shirt. I got hot and took off the other two layers that I had - then it started raining. Go figure.

We can't wait til next year! If you want to be a part of it, let me know - you'll get a t-shirt =).

Happy Easter - a day late

Living he loved me
Dying he saved me
Buried he carried my sins far away
Rising he justified freely forever
One day he's coming
O Glorious Day

I love Easter! I love celebrating everything that it represents. For its because of Jesus that I am no longer a slave to sin. I am free.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24

O praise His name!!

I hope that everyone had a blessed Easter!
