He makes me giggle:)

Last year Cam gave me this top 10 for Valentine's day and this year he wrote a poem;)

A True Love Story...

It's a story for the ages
One of excitement and flare
A perfect match made in heaven
With which none else can compare

It's a tale of a girl
From a small quaint town
She was beloved by people everywhere
Her presence never producing a frown

Her beauty was unmatched
Her personality glowing
On a windy day one is mesmerized
By her long, blonde hair flowing

All the fellows around
Tried their hand at her heart
But she did not settle
She was much, much too smart

For she had on her mind
A young man from nearby
Who had charmed her and wooed her
And so caught her eye

He was handsome and dashing
His eyes blue as the sky
He was strong as a bull
His muscles stretched his shirt tight

His plan was quite clear
His feelings he could not hide
He had to capture her love
And make her his bride

So with his wisdom and wit
He pursued her to no end
They became best friends
And her heart he vowed to defend

As he dropped to one knee
All the towns folk agreed
These two loved each other
More than Snoop Dog loved weed

So the wedding bells rang out
The day she became his mate
Thus proving she was smarter
Than a big raisin or a lil grape

Oh I laughed and laughed. The last line is my FAVORITE movie line from Cats and Dogs 2. Cameron is by far my best friend and God fills our home and hearts with laughter. He is such an amazing man!

School time

We are sick today so we are missing out on our kCA day. We always miss our KCA fam when we can't make it. I saw this on my friends blog and decided to do it with the kids today. They loved being doctors and performing surgery on some contractions.
Andrew is learning a lot of multiplication around here. We did a matching game with his 4's and 6's.

Chocolate with Coconut Oil

Oh this is good stuff and good for ya!!! A sweet friend of mine gave me this recipe. She's a health food girl. There's only 1/4 cup honey in each batch and it doesn't bother my blood sugar much at all. It taste a lot like a hershey's bar with almonds. We've also done plain chocolate, chocolate with peanut butter chips and peppermint chocolate. It's all DELICIOUS! You must give it a try. Here's the recipe:

1 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract ( IF you want to make peppermint chocolate which taste just like junior mints you also need to add 2 tsp of peppermint extract)

Thinly sliced almonds (as many as you'd like)

I use a small food processor and mix all ingredients EXCEPT slivered almonds. After all ingredients are mixed, I add almonds and just mix with spoon. Pour on cookie sheet that is covered with wax paper and put in freezer for about 10 minutes. Break into pieces and store in freezer. OH it's SOO yummy!!!

(Coconut oil a solid unless it is stored above 77 degrees so it's not going to be right by the other oils, usually on same aisle but possibly not right beside it.)

This is a batch of peppermint chocolate

Day 3 brought to you by Piper Jane:)

Today we had fun. We went to the beach. Today we looked for some crabs. Today we had fun and we swimmed and we built sand castles and we made a tunnel. We had fun. We went to buy a couple of things at an airplane museum. I got to get a bear that has goggles on. We had shrimp and fried rice for lunch. We got to have a chinese cookie (fortune cookie;). Now we are watching a movie.

Day 2 recap by Andrew

I liked today because we got to go to the Gulfarium and see the bloodthirsty alligators. We got to see two green anole lizards in the wild. Before we left for the Gulfarium, we peered out of our window and saw 4-5 stingrays. Parker saw them first and momma said it was just seaweed and then Parker said, "well it's flying seaweed". I saw amazing dolphins swimming by our condo. While I was snorkeling, I saw a black crab. I also saw a large dead crab. We got to eat drumsticks for dessert tonight. Dad took us swimming tonight after dessert. Today was one of my favorite days on the beach.

the BEACH

We are having a great time at the beach. I'm going to try to let the bigger kids dictate my blog posts while we are away. Tonight Parker is going to recap our first full day at the beach:)
Today we had sausage balls for breakfast and they were delicious. Then we went outside and swam in the ocean. The waves were really big. They were washing me away. Then we ordered pizza for dinner. We went outside when it was dark when the crabs come out. We caught some
crabs, tons of crabs and we let
them all go. Its been a good day. The end.

Two of a Kind

The other night I was making a pot roast and told Cameron I had to make deviled eggs because HELLO you can't have a pot roast without deviled eggs;). Which got me to thinking.... what are other things that don't work alone? So here's my list:)
1. Peanut butter and jelly (no brainer)
2. Chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers
3. Vienna Sausage and saltine crackers (what a delicacy:)
4. Me being sick and Outback's Potato soup
5. My potato soup and cornbread
6. Sweet tea and EVERYTHING!!
7. Sauerkraut and hot dogs AND mashed potatoes. Heck, you can add mashed potatoes to everything listed above as well:)
8. Zack and Kelly
9. Bo and Hope (are they still together?)
10. Minivans and blinged out rims!
What about you?! What are some of your two of a kinds?!
