Tomorrow is the big day for baby boy to come into the world.  We are all super excited to see the little man!  Thank you for all your prayers over this pregnancy.  God has blessed us indeed and for that we are so incredibly grateful.  Check back to see the peanut.

Masterbath update - Day 17

So, here are some more pictures to share of the remodel job happening at our house.  Chris walked in there tonight and said, "man, I love this bathroom."  Hm...he should be careful what he says because his wife might share these somewhat questionable comments on the blog.  If he could have heard himself...

Anyway, should be finishing up the room this weekend...so excited!



Pumpkin Crunch Cake

I have a new recipe to share.  I have many recipes to share (because I am a foodie, I guess) just not enough time to type them all out.  This one is by far, hubby's favorite now....well at least his favorite for the season.  I got it from a co-worker who is from Alabama..so go figure it is the most amazing pumpkin recipe ever.  Did I mention it is ridiculously easy?  It is.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

1 15 oz. can of pumpkin
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. salt
1 package yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup butter - cold, thinkly sliced.

Peheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a mixing bowl at medium speed unti lblended.  Spoon the batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan.  Spinkle cake mix over prepared layer and then sprinkle with pecans.  Arrage the butter slices evenly over the top and bake for 50 minutes or until a ttothpick comes out clean.  Cool in pan on wire rack.

Halloween Weekend

Wow, did we have an action packed weekend or what?  Friday, Izzy decided she wanted to be Sleeping Beauty for her school party.  Thanks to my friend Claudia, she sent one this summer for Izzy since her daughter has outgrown it.  It has lots of use left!  Then, on Sat., Izzy walked in the O-town parade as Cinderella.  She was darling and got many compliments during the parade.  Then Halloween was finally here and she had decided weeks ago, she would be Snow White (her favorite.)  So, the trick or treating began and boy did she have the best time!  We ended up going with our neighbors and their two kids and they all loaded up on the candy!  So, without further delay...check out this kid.  Sure love this kiddo...
