Cowmooflauge
We hit a milestone this past week with Emery. We had to get her a big girl car seat. I love the pattern so much I just had to post a picture.

Great Tip Of The Day
I honestly can't remember where I read this/heard this, on The Today Show maybe, or in a magazine.....
But it is the greatest, most logical tip ever! I can't believe I haven't thought of this before.
I love to use fresh herbs whenever possible. This season I am growing Basil, Dill, Parsley, Chives and Oregano.
One herb that I use almost as much as I use Basil, is Cilantro. We love Mexican and I love to cook it!
The dilemma is that when I buy Cilantro I only use a few leaves. Then the rest of it goes to waste.
But this week I learned a tip! Just use the food processor to mince up the leftover herbs. Add a bit of water, and freeze in ice cube trays. Next time I need Cilantro I will just take one of the cubes out of the freezer, defrost it and have fresh herbs instantly!
I'm going to prune back my Basil and Dill this week and freeze some cubes for the winter........ Great tip of the day!
Rites of Passage
A few weeks ago My mom, Benji's mom, Emery and myself performed one of the many "rites of passages" in a young lady's life.
Emery got her ears pierced.
She was such a big girl! She obviously cried after the first one. I know it was a shock, but once the second one was finished all she needed was a hug and her paci and she forgot all about what had just happened.
She is growing so fast! These pictures that Sue, (Benji's mom) took show how she is turning into an official toddler.
Emery with her cousin Lydia chillin at her other cousin Luke's t-ball game.
Pretty much the most precious thing you have ever seen.

Emery 9 Months
It has been awhile since I posted so I'm "marathon" posting tonight. We have been so busy with moving and ministry. We have finally finished our painting and revamping of the house. I've already hosted three parties! I had our monthly girls night get together, our entire family, and all Benji's Sunday School teachers over in a weeks time....whew!
Emery has also been keeping me busy. She is crawling all over the place now. She is eating new things every day. I think she is pretty much done with "baby" food. She really enjoys her "finger" foods now.
She has four teeth with another pushing through. At her 9 month appointment this week she measured in at 30 inches and 18 lbs....tall and skinny. ha ha I remember those days! So long ago!
Speaking of, I am still working hard to get rid of that baby weight that is still hanging on.
We also planted our first garden this spring. We have tomatoes, red, green and orange bell peppers, squash, blackberries, basil, parsley, dill, chives and oregano. yumm!
Benji is having not so much fun cutting the grass every weekend, but our yard sure does look good! We are having a blast in our new home and love being back in Greenville.
First experience with a half of a whole banana.

Girls Night: Derby Style
Back in February a few girls and I started getting together to have a Girls Night. Each month we take turns hosting theme parties. This month was my turn.
So in honor of my Kentucky "roots" I hosted my first ever "post" Derby party. Complete with hats, derby pie and mint juleps(baptist style, of course).

Girls Weekend In Hotlanta
A few weekends ago, the missions minister (Ange), the associate pastor's wife (Jocelyn), the daughter in law of the pastor AND SIL of Ange (Carla) and me got to get away for a much needed girls weekend!
We had a blast! We ate way too many carbs, I'm talking loaves of bread, people. Stayed up WAY too late talking our heads off, and spent too much money and time shopping......
We stayed in the swanky Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. We had dinner at Two Urban Licks, which is hidden in an old abandoned warehouse....way cool. Ange had eaten there before and hooked us up with reservations.
Saturday before the shopping excursion we had breakfast at the famous OK Cafe in Buckhead. We fueled up and headed on to Trader Joe's and then to Ikea.
Benji kept E all weekend, AND painted the bathroom! What a man I have! We had a blast and have the next one planned already.
