Not Like Your Mama Makes It

On Sunday Mom and I set out to use up some of the MILLION apples that live at our house, Pies were the answer! We made four delicious Caramel Apple Pies. They were so yummy and pretty if i do say so myself! Mom was on the pie part and I was all over the beautifying of them. I saw this in a magazine and wanted to try it out. Everyone was impressed and I was excited! :] We had a blast making them!

Best 3 years! :]

(This is from just after my accident at a family reunion. It's the most recent photo from after the accident. My scar looks so much better! :])

It seems crazy to say but today is the three year anniversary, if that's what you'd call it, since my car accident! It's funny because I always refer to it as MY car accident but it really has made me who I am. These three years have really when i have come to know who I am and what I want. I have honestly to appreciate every single day, you never know when it's going to be your last. I learned to do simple things everyday that make that day worth while. Mostly I learned who I am! That I have a purpose here on this earth and that there are so many people that love me especially my Heavenly Father. :] So here's to many more years full of happiness, love, and faith! I hope they are as awesome as the last 3 have been!

Date with Dad!

With Mom out of town with Aunt Rose on a "Quilt Hop" Dad, me and Natalie had the house to ourselves and i had the dinners! On thursday Natalie had a volleyball, she ALMOST won! bummer! but she was alright with that because we had reservations at Jalepeno's with a big helping of chips and salsa calling our names! :] We all ate way too much and had a blast catching up, Dad's been really busy lately, and laughing at Dad trying to understand and speak to the very authentic waiter! Afterward we came home i gave my very first official haircut! Dad's hair was getting pretty "messy." It looks good even! The night was a blast! I have an awesome Dad! :]
