Aunt Betty is 80!

Skipper and Linda threw Betty a surprise party last night.  It was great fun seeing lots of people I hadn't seen in years.  They fried fish for everyone!  Happy birthday Aunt Betty!  We love you!

Belated Birthday Gift for Jaime

Back in April Jaime requested an apron for her birthday...well better late than never.
She wanted it to be retro/vintage.  I found this cute fabric and when I was putting on the finishing touches I remembered some really old rickrack that my mom had.  It was the perfect color.  So Jaime has an apron with a  real vintage touch!  A special gift from her Geemaw. Happy Birthday Jaime 2 months late!

Somehow this post never did got on my blog. So here it is.  I guess that makes it a belated belated post! 

"Slop"

Jaime has told me more than once that it is amazing how I go into my pantry and come out and within a few minutes I have a meal on the table. When all our kids were young they would ask "What's for dinner? and I'd say "Slop." Which really meant I didn't know but I'd throw something together! Well... being a working woman there are many nights I still make "slop" and last night was one of those nights. This is what I put together so give it a try.

1 can black beans(rinsed and drained)
6 chicken tenderloins
2 tablespoons white chicken chili seasoning or use a little garlic powder and cumin
1 large tomato (sliced)
1/4 cup MILD jalapeno slices
1 cup shredded colby jack

I layered the ingredients in a 9X9 pyrex dish. Cooked it for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Serve with tortilla chips and salad.

It was super easy , yummy and it is what I had around the house thus...SLOP.

Candy Corn

I got this cute Halloween embroidery design!  I love it!
I took the pieces to Colorado and Jaime made the jumper.  It turned out so cute!

This picture was taken when we visited Manitou Springs.  My two blue eyed Colorado girls!
I love them so much!

I Spy

I made this for Carter for his birthday.  It is my first quilt!!!!  Don't look too close...I'm no Grandmother when it comes to piecing a quilt. But I think he really liked it. He really likes the page where he has to find the monkey doing yoga!!!!  I took a picture of each quilt block uploaded them to Snapfish and made the book.  Thanks to Aunt Vickie who quilted it and Aunt Laney who helped me bind it!
