Caroline Carlisle's Dedication

On June 12, 2016 we dedicated Caroline Carlisle to the Lord at our church. 
CC fell asleep in my arms moments before we dedicated her and our pastor prayed that she will always rest peacefully in the Lord the way she was resting in my arms!! 
It was such a sweet moment and we had a fun family brunch in our home afterwards. 













For the brunch we hired local chef, David Andersen, to come and prepare a french toast bar with fresh fruit, eggs, bacon and more. 
We had a gorgeous cake made by our friend, Mary Baird. 
The flowers really made the event elegant and sweet. 
We had family and friends travel in from Midland to Phoenix to celebrate with us! 
It was a lovely morning and the afternoon ended in family volleyball game and game night at home!

Mitch's Graduation

Well, Mitch did it! 
In May he graduated with his Master's Degree in Business Energy
from the University of Tulsa! 
I am so proud of my man! 
I'm a firm believer that YOU can do anything you set your mind to! 
He had his goal set and he crushed it! 
With God all things are possible {even in the chaos of having a little one, building a house and welcoming a second baby into our family!}. 




After Mitch's ceremony we headed home to have a quint dinner party! 










For the dinner we hired local chef David Andersen who made the most fabulous steak dinner. 
We had a small yet wonderful party with our close friends and family to celebrate Mitch!

Turkey Humus Wraps

Are y'all tired of the preschool recipes yet? 
I hope not because I have a few more we tied! 

The turkey humus "burritos" as Eli likes to call them were a hit! I will say the ezekiel 
wrap was a little dry so next time I'll use something different like a delicious tortilla! 
I'm liking this assignment for JLCC as I can use them for my little guys lunches! 
So fun!
