They are getting so OLD! And we are having so much fun with them.

PEACH MACAROON COBBLER

This is the yummiest recipe that my sister-in-law Paula made tonight. Thanks for a great dinner too!


PEACH-MACAROON COBBLER

2 29 oz cans peach slices, drained
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup flaked coconut
1 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375. For filling, in a large bowl combine drained peaches, cornstarch, and lemon juice; toss well. Pour into a 2-quart square baking dish. Dot with the 2 tablespoons butter. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
2. Meanwhile, for topping, in a medium bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add egg, melted butter, and vanilla; stir well. Fold in 1/4 cup of the coconut. Bake for 35 minutes; cover with foil after 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Coll 30 mun.
3. In a chilled bowl combine cream and powdered sugar; beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve warm cobbler with whipped cream. Makes 8.

Fun at the LA Zoo

We went to the park on our street today and can I tell you that my girls had the best time. Even though we are ALWAYS the only people at the park during the day and we have to watch out for crazies, and its a good thing they can't read the graffiti~It is so fun to watch them die laughing at each other on the swings and we don't have to go on the freeway to get there.

So this is a glimpse of my kitchen that I have been working on. Dallas loved to help me paint! It got pretty messy and I was almost wishing I hadn't started it, but thanks to Brooke who came down, and Nathan who helped me finish, I finally have my kitchen back together!

Why are there so many cute fancy dresses with out sleeves? I am trying to find something to wear to my friend's wedding in Alabama next week and I just can't seem to find one!

If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

Brenna is just too quick for me!! I turn my back for a second and what does she do?? Eats everything. Blue playdough, Sand. Anything she can get her little hands on.

So at 4 in the morning, I hear Dallas yelling my name over and over. I go in there thinking something is wrong and she says, "Can I have a dog for my birthday?" What? 4 in the morning she is thinking she needs a dog for her birthday? Her birthday is not until November. This is a picture of my parent's adorable bull dog Daisy--who is a week older than Brenna. I think this is where Dallas got her bright idea:). Her and Brenna could not get enough of her during our visit.

Isn't this a Sweet Pea if you ever saw one! My happy Brenna~ when she is not teething:).
