Lots of Catching Up.....

After dinner tonight with the family, us girls came back to Mr and Mrs Brooker's house while the guys went to the football game. While I was here I was finally able to get on the Internet and do a little catching up. I still have lots of pictures and post to catch up on. I am looking forward to having the Internet back at our house so I can get back to blogging!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday Keller!

On November 30th my friend Keller celebrated her 25th birthday. (Since we have not had Internet I am very behind on this birthday wish but I did want to make sure that I posted about her birthday.) Keller and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. Because we are both married and because I have moved 4 hours away, Keller and I don't get to see each other as much as we would like. When Keller and I are able to get together we always just pick right up from where we left off! I am so thankful for Keller and for the wonderful friendship we share!
Happy Birthday Keller!!
I Love You!

A Day at Kackleberry Farm..

Last weekend my parents took the young ones to Kackleberry Farm. Here are some of the cute pictures they took while they were at the farm.

I loved all of the pictures from their day at Kackleberry Farm! I miss all of my babies and can't wait to spend some time with them next week!

I Miss Blogging!!

I have had a few people ask me if everything was OK with my health because I have not been updating the blog. Daniel and I are doing great and everything is fine with my health. We had to switch Internet providers and our old Internet service was cancelled last week. We were supposed to have Internet today but they ran into a problem and are now saying that it will be November 10th before we have Internet and a home phone line. I have missed blogging and I have missed keeping up with all of your blogs! I have lots to post about and I am looking forward to getting back to blogging! Hope you are all doing good!!

On the Menu for Tonight...

Tonight is Breakfast night. I found an idea for French Toast on this Blog and it sounded really good!! I thought I would share it with you in case you decided to have Breakfast for supper tonight too! Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday!

PREP TIME: 5 Min
COOK TIME: 10 Min
READY IN: No time!

INGREDIENTS FOR 2-3 SERVINGS:
6 thick slices bread (I like to use Texas Toast)
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Beat together egg, milk, salt, desired spices and vanilla. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high. Dunk each slice of bread in egg mixture, soaking both sides. Place in pan, and cook on both sides until golden. Serve hot.

A few tweaks that I made to the original recipe:
As I mentioned, I used Texas Toast so the french toast would be thick and fluffy!
I added more cinnamon than what the recipe recommended
While the bread was cooking, I covered the pan so that the bread would cook at the way through!
*Don't forget the powdered sugar & warm maple syrup!

How to Upload a Video on to Your Blog....

A few people have asked me how did I upload a Youtube video to the blog. I can not believe how easy it is. I actually found this Youtube video taking me step by step on how to do upload a video. Hope this helps you as much as it helped me!!

A Rainy Day in Georgia...

My sister posted some pictures on Facebook today and I thought they were just too cute not to share! Kendyl said it rained all day today and so they baked cookies and rice crispy treats and stayed in their pj's all day.
Getting ready to make some cookies.
*Notice Ellyn already trying to eat the cookie dough!
Kendyl said, "By this time they were tired of taking pictures and were ready to eat...and Ellyn was on the run from the dog worried she would eat her cookies!" Haha! Oh the fun you have at the Beggs house!! I have missed all of my babies and can not wait to see them in a few weeks!!

Madison, Ansley, Garrison, Braxton, Jackson and Ellyn-
Sissy misses you and can't wait to see you!!! I love you!

"A Love Worth Waiting For"



I just learned how to upload Youtube videos to the blog today and I am very excited! I know this video is from our wedding but we never could figure out how to upload it to the blog. So.....just in case you haven't seen it already here is the video of Daniel singing to me at our reception. This is a song (with the help of his sister Amy and his brother Brad) that he wrote and sang for me on our wedding day!

Amy and Alex singing "When the Rain Comes"


I am sure many of you know this already, but for those of you who don't, the Brooker family is very talented!! They all can sing beautifully and can also play the violin, piano, and guitar. This is a recent song that Alex played while Amy sang "When the Rain Comes" by Third Day. Amy and Alex are so talented and Daniel and I are very proud of them! Hope you enjoy their song!
