Frito Dip

1  regular size can of ranch style beans (not drained)
1 regular size tomatoe cut up
1 regular size green bell pepper cut up
1/2 of a red onion cut up (this should equal the same amount as the tomatoe and bell pepper)
1 small bottle of catalina dressing
Mix all ingredients together and chill to ready to serve. 
Eat with Fritos scoops corn chips.

Corn Dip

3 (11 oz)  cans of Mexicorn-drained
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies - drained
5 green onions chopped
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 jalapeno pepper - chopped (or you can use the ones in a jar that are already sliced and just chop those)
3/4 cup mayo
salt, pepper and other seasonings (season all) to taste
10 oz shredded cheddar cheese - or you can use another mix of cheese if you like. Cheddar and colby mixed is what I used. 


In a medium size mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, mix well, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.



Serve with corn chips or regular dipping chips or even crackers.
*(Last time I made this I didn't have mexicorn on hand, but took regular corn and cut up bell peppers (I had red and green) it's the same thing).

Prom 2011

It's hard to believe that my son is old enough to be attending his Junior Prom!

My how life has passed by so very fast.

 I wish I could slow down time.

The kids had a great time together, but then

whenever they are together they always have fun.

Nell is fun and full of life. She has a great personality

 and is very outgoing. 

I know the main reason Tyler had such a

great time is definately due to her. 

She even got him out on the dance floor cuttin a rug!

The group had a driver/chaperone for the evening so

 no parents worried

and everyone had a wonderful evening.  

The Lord gave many blessings!

Miracles Do Happen

My good friend Abbie has a new grandbaby that was very eager to come into the world and was born early. Her daughter Sidney and her baby boy, James Edward need every prayer they can get.

James was born weighing 1 pound 10.7 ounces, and was 12 1/2 inches long. He has a very long road to go.

Currently he is doing very well. Tests done have turned out great and I pray that he keeps on fighting the fight.  He has dark hair, big feet and very long fingers....just like his momma.  Having been 4 pounds when I was born and also having friends whom have had "small" babies still didn't prepare me for the sight. The sight of this small miracle, who by all accounts may or may not make it, who is doing so very well for being so very tiny. 

I am awed by him. I couldn't stop checking everything little thing out about him. I'm just completely awestruck by the sight of him. He moved his little right foot and it was the cutest thing.  You can see his heart beating in his chest and all you can think about it the fact that God made this tiny person and that tiny heart has certainly touched mine.  I pray everyday that he keeps growing, keeps improving and one day I will be blessed to hold him and love him.

Perhaps he will call me a honorary Aunt or Granny....I can't wait!  

BASEBALL!!
