Photo Dump

Since the point of this blog is to recount (more detailed and not in my Chatbooks) memories, I have several photos I need to get off of my phone. I just love the way he's posed and the expression on his face here. I imagine he's thinking, "Alright Momma, I'll sit here long enough for you to take one picture because I know I look cute." :-) This boy loves a bath! I sometimes have to put him in my bathtub in order to keep him occupied while I get ready. On this night, he was really anxious to get into his tub and start playing. He's so close to being able to climb right on in, which really scares me! He was playing around and we heard him giggle and looked over and saw this. He was standing on top of his little elephant's head that he rides on. He was so proud of himself for this accomplishment.  My brother gets the best pictures of him! He had just gotten out of the bath and my mom was getting him dressed and he was cheesin' it up for Uncle T. I was cle...

Cheesy Crock Pot Potato Soup

Today I'm sharing our favorite potato soup recipe. Over the years, Joey has tried several times to make potato soup using different recipes but they have never turned out good (sorry hubs!). Since we found a simple crock pot recipe and tailored it to our taste, we haven't looked back. Again, I'm really picky about what I like so there are no onions or veggies in our recipe. Side note: I totally forgot to take a picture of it finished. We had family over for dinner the night we fixed it and I was too busy to remember to snap a picture. Let's get started! Not all ingredients are pictured above. Only the initial ingredients that you begin with are shown. Ingredients: 32 oz. Bag of Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes 32 oz. Box of Chicken Broth 2 cans of Campbell's Cream of Potato (a lot of recipes call for cream of chicken, this is where we switched it up a bit and love the result. Potato just makes sense for potato soup, right?) 8 oz. block of Cream Cheese 8 oz. block o...

Eight Years

Today marks 8 years that Joey and I have been together. I spent some time searching through old MySpace photos to gather up some pictures from our senior year (when we started dating). Then I realized just how much has happened to us over those years and thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. Joey wrote me this note in 4th grade. FOURTH GRADE!! And I kept it for some weird reason and we displayed it on our sweetheart table at our wedding. Random high school pictures, from pep rally days (2007), a banquet, and our senior trip to ATL.. In 2008 we graduated (May). In 2010 we got engaged (December 23). Engagement picture from 2011. In 2012 we moved into our first place (February).. graduated from King College (May 5).. got married (May 20).. went on our first trip out of the country (Cancun).. and celebrated our first Christmas as husband and wife! In 2013 we built our first home (moved in April 24).. brought home our sweet pup, Wrigley (May).. celebrated our 1 year anniv...
