Super Bowl Sandwiches

We had these sandwiches at my sister's baby shower and they were lip smackin' delish. Honestly, people were going back for seconds...at a baby shower! I hope mine turn out as good - who knew the danged King's Hawaiian people had to start making a variety of their rolls. I picked up the savory butter instead of the "original" sweet. I tasted the bread and it still had a sweet flavor to me...but next time I'll be more careful.

Jan's Shower Sandwiches

1 package King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

shaved turkey (from the deli)

shredded Swiss cheese

1 stick melted butter

1 T. worcestershire sauce

1 T. honey mustard

Place rolls in a 9x13 dish and cut the tops off - place turkey and shredded cheese on bottoms of rolls and replace the tops. Melt butter and blend in worcestershire sauce and honey mustard. Pour over the tops of the sandwiches. Cover and let sit overnight. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes with the tin foil unsealed around the edges. serve warm. (They were not warm by the time I got to eat them and they were still really yummy).

100 Days Celebration!

Cutter and Mrs. Meador

Today is a big day at Cutter's school and a big day for most kindergartners. They have been counting all year towards the 100th day of school. They had to bring a project to school that showcased 100 of anything of their choosing. It has been a tradition for us to make the kids a t-shirt with 100 polka dots on it. The teachers always get a big kick out of it. Chesley's teacher even gave her a special award and sent her to have her picture made by the principal. I am posting a picture of Chesley's t-shirt because it was posted on a scrapbook site (I don't have a picture of Cambry's handy) and then a picture of Cutter with Mrs. Meador - the best kindergarten teacher EVER! Cutter has learned so much this year. She is exactly what a kindergarten teacher should be - sweet, kind, loving, firm, creative and did I mention sweet! Cutter took her a diet coke and a donut as a special thank you this morning.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side...

Yes - blog friends - my sweet sister, Jill, has finally joined the world of blogging. She has already added FIVE posts. Good Gracious - we may have created a blogging maniac! I think it's the nesting...it is even carrying over to the world wide web! You all need to go check it out and give her a big old welcome.

Two Player Wii game

Cutter can play a two player Wii game by himself. I found him playing a game of Wii baseball using his remote and Cambry's! Is this better or worse than having an imaginary friend?

Crazy Hair Day!

Today was crazy hair day at Cambry's school. We saw some wild and crazy hair-dos.

She has also started a blog so that she can hang out in the blog world with her cousin, Ashley. I am making access to it restricted so I'll let you know in the coming weeks how to take a peek at it. She has been begging for one for months and when Ashley started one today....I caved. What can I say - I am weak!

Shark Obsessed!

Seriously, if I never read another shark book...it will be too soon. This obsession has been carrying on for months. I really am ready for it to end. We read books together almost every night and I am pretty sure that I am an official SHARK EXPERT because I have read about 15 books on sharks and most of them I have read at least 3 times.

Just a note: He was super serious about this video. In the first video we shot he started out saying "On today's show we are talking about sharks...." I had to talk him out of that one!

Weird Fact: Did you know that when sharks throw up they expel their entire stomach and then suck it back in.....GROSS!

Amazing Testimony

I have been blogging for over 6 months now and already three times I have witnessed the power of the Christian community - coming together through a blog and showing the world that God is full of grace. It is a powerful thing to behold. The latest proof of this is through the Kelly Blog (button on the side) She has had hundreds of thousands of people visit her blog in the last week to encourage her and her husband. Literally, thousands of people are praying for the improved health of Baby Harper. The real blessing is to see this blog http://www.prayforharper.blogspot.com/ and see the actual real heartfelt prayers that people are typing on behalf of this tiny little wonder. The blogging world is sometimes so much more than just a soccer update or a new recipe. WOW!

If you haven't been to visit the Bring the Rain Blog (link in my side bar)it is also a wonderful example of this that has become sooooo much more!

Yada Yada Bargain!

Our Book Junkie Book Club (link on my sidebar) has decided to read this series of books. I just happened into a bookstore that is going out of business and found these two little gems sitting on the shelf. Each book has the first two books of the series in it. The book originally sold for 14.99 and I got them for the dandy price of 3.75 each! I went ahead and picked the other one up for my nearest book club member...which happens to be my sister in law - Jana! Happy Reading everyone and please if you haven't joined and would like too - head on over! It is a low key... low stress group and the more the merrier.

Favorite Things: Special Edition

I just have to post about a small something that I got for Christmas from my parents. I saw it at Sam's...I mentioned it to my Mom...I opened it at Christmas.... I adore it. Please note that I did not drop the hint bomb on purpose to my Mom. I mentioned it to her and she immediately said "don't buy it" LOL! I just don't want anyone to think that I am sneaky about my Christmas "wants and needs"! I have used this several times already. I am pretty sure that my roast tasted EXTRA good just because it was cooked in this pot. I know my Elk Chili was made better just for the fact that it simmered in this beauty. Yes, I said Elk Chili....I'll save that post for another day.

I got a few other favorite things for Christmas this year....I'll spread those posts out so I don't overwhelm anyone Ü

Movie Review: Paul Blart Mall Cop

Never thought I would come here and say this....but I loved this movie. It is not Oscar material...but it was worth seeing. The funny thing was that apparently people had really been anticipating this flick (who knew???? Kevin James has quite the following). I saw so many middle aged couples without kids come in and sit down. It was standing room only. The highlight was the big farmer dude who brought his girlfriend. He leaned back almost to the next row...put his arm around his babe....and then popped open a Budweiser.....can you say REDNECK!

Bada Bling!

Before

After

Cambry's one requested gift this year was to have her ears pierced. Chance and I decided when the girls were little to make them wait until the "preteen" years to get their earlobes permanently altered! I just wanted them to have the memory of it being a big deal...I wanted it to be special. She was a little nervous...but didn't even flinch. She sat there for a minute and then said - "Wow, that kind of felt good!!!!!!!" Great - I wanted it to hurt - really hurt - so much that she probably wouldn't ever want another piercing of any kind! Ha Ha

Thank You Nana and Papaw for giving Cambry pierced ears for her birthday. This will add a whole new dimension to the "Bling Queen"!

The Chubby Cheekers turns 11

Told you those cheeks were yummy!

One of my favorite memories from Cambry's birth, was my Dr. exclaiming LOUDLY that she had big big big cheeks. The yummy "you just have to pinch them" kind. Cambry was born early on the morning of the 16th by C-section. She was shy, sweet, quiet and very mischievous (could not keep her out of cabinets and drawers...and I still can't). She has grown into an outgoing, confident and still sweet young lady. She has a dry sense of humor and makes us laugh all the time (especially her Dad). She has a very loving heart and is crazy about animals....except birds.

The one thing most people will tell you about Cambry...that she loves new clothes and jewelry. Yes, the girl loves her some BLING and can accessorize like no body's business. She takes after her Aunt Jill and Nana - because she did not get that trait from me!

We are taking her out tonight to her favorite pizza place and to a movie. She is making us go see Paul Blart - Mall Cop......gee thanks! Ü

Baby Shower Overload

Well - a great time was had by all. It was truly a wonderful shower and such a blessing to be a part of it. My sister had a great turn out and received so many precious things. My mom said that she'll have to change Campbell twice a day to use all of the outfits she received.

The theme was a mix of country farm animals and the colors were muted shades of brown, cranberry red, and buttery yellow. They were unusual colors for a baby shower, but it had a unique and comfy feel. I designed the invitation using a digital scrapbooking kit. I then decoupaged all of the decor accessories to match. The sign that is on the table is now in Campbell's room.The menu included: fresh fruit, the most delicious sandwiches (ever!), sausage balls, cheese/cracker tray, and super delish cake from Cakes and More.

Yeah...It's Baby Shower Day!

I can't wait to come home and post pictures of the Mom to Be and all of her goodies. It is going to be so much fun. I know she is just bubbling over with excitement right now. The shower starts at 2:00 - wish us luck that everything goes off without a hitch. Tomorrow will be a brand new day - one where I don't have to think about table arrangements, trips to Hobby Lobby, or anything shower related. How will I fill my days.....I'm going over to my sister's house to play with baby things! Ü

P.S. Hitch #1 has already occurred - I bought new shoes last night and this morning my mom goes to try them on (we wear the same size) Let's just picture Cinderella's step sister trying to squeeze on the glass slipper. Yep! I am the proud owner of one size 7 shoe and one size 8 1/2 shoe. Yeah!!!!

A Game of Guess Who?

1. I'm already too stinking cute for words
2. I'm constantly kneeing my Mom in the bellybutton
3. I have my Daddy's feet
4. I should make my debut in February 2009
5. I already have my Mom wrapped around my little finger...and my Nana and Aunt Jer too!

Campbell - due: 2/22/09

(Posted by Aunt Jerilynn...until my Mom can find time to start her own blog.....)
