"Old stomping ground"

We spent the weekend in Auburn with my sis! It will probably be our last trip for a while because she is graduating soon.  Friday night we went to the movies and Saturday we went to the A-Day game.  The game was way more relaxed and laid back because less than half of the stadium was full and the game was only an hour.  It was a lot of fun because we got to walk around campus and Jack got to see my "old stomping ground" like the two dorms I lived in on campus and buildings I had classes in and so on. 

Claire's pretty room! She took the photos hanging over the bed in Italy.

A-Day eating BBQ on the hill. This is my favorite BBQ sandwich and potato salad in the world! I used to eat it almost evert week when I lived in AU.

Yummy!

Easter

I had a wonderful Easter weekend!  My sister came home from college and I was so glad to see her because she hadn't been home in over a month!  We decorated easter eggs, cooked, went to a movie, and enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sunday!

You're never too old to dye eggs!

finished product!

I made two things for Easter lunch: pimento cheese and a chocolate trifle

Both were simple and delicious! 

Pimento Cheese

1 jar pimentos

1 pkg. grated sharp cheddar

1 cup mayo

lemon juice

pepper

Mix all ingredients with mixer and serve with crackers or chips.

Chocolate Trifle

1 chocolate cake mix

2 boxes instant pudding

1 large container cool whip

4 heath bars

Bake cake according to directions for 2 layer 8 in. round cakes. Let cool. Put one layer into trifle bowl.  Spread half of the pudding on cake, then half of the cool whip.  Sprinkle with half chopped candy bars. Repeat all with second layer.  Then refrigerate or serve!

Here are some picks of us making the trifle....

Leah helped me make the pudding!

finished! And yes it was as yummy as it looks!

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

I had a crazy weekend!!! On Friday me and my mom traveled five hours to go to my mom's best friend's daughter's baby shower. They are pretty much like family to us. We hadn't visited them in fifteen years! They always come to visit us so this was a big deal.
