March Birthdays!!

Bo and I were both born in March so.... we celebrate all month long!!

Bo turned 26 years old- closer to 30 than 20 now!!! Bo got most of his birthday presents ahead time so on his actual birthday we had a nice night on the porch just grilling out- his parents came that weekend and gave him a new charcoal grill that he loves!!!!!

One birthday happy I gave him was this T-shirt that this t-shirt shop makes about Riverside Drive- and if you have ever been on Riverside Drive by our house you will understand this t-shirt!I also got this T-shirt quilt made for him of his sports t-shirts from when he was little all the way up to college football and baseball t-shirts- we love quilts and use them all the time! This is my t-shirt quilt I got for highschool graduation!Bo also got a gray suit- not just blankets and t-shirts-haha. Murray getting scratched by the fire stick!This Wednesday -March 31st is my birthday but I feel like I alreaday had my birthday- On Thursday my mom's sister Amy, my mom's mom- gigi came down from GA and FL, my mother in law from tupelo and Adam's mom and sister all came down to go to a Viking Cooking School Class on Friday- IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Fun!! Our class was called "Girls Night Out in Rome"

Our Menu: Marinated Red Peppers and Olives, Basic Pasta Dough, Homemade Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli with Tomato- Pancetta Butter, Veal Scaloppini with Prosciutto and Sage, Tartufo- chocolate Gelato with Cherries Rolled in chocolate, and Rossini Cocktails!!!

That night we all went out to eat at Walkers-even though we cooked all afternoon! I enjoyed seeing all my family and am so glad they were all able to be here!!!

Snow and Love

This past weekend was full of love and snow! I can not believe that Jackson, Ms got about 5 inches of snow!!! It looked like a winter wonderland- school was cancelled so Bo and I got to enjoy the snow with who else but our hound dogs!!


Friday we left the snow and headed to the beach for a beach Valentine's Day with Kerri and Jonathan! It was so relaxing! We ate some good fried shrimp the first night and then Saturday night we had reservations to Cobalt which was DELICIOUS- I had crab and parmesan stuffed baby portabello mushrooms for an appetizer, an amazing salad with homemade dressing, flounder stuffed with lobster and orzo with almond and feta green beans, and a smores cake for dessert- and an amazing wine!! On saturday the boys also surprised us with flowers delivered to the house- awwwww!

The amazing beach house!!!!

Bo, I love you and I am glad that you are my Valentine!!!!!!!!

A picture update

Well, I have to say that I have been meaning to post all my Christmas and New Year's pics but I read all my friends blogs and they are all such good writers that I kinda get down on my blogging skills, mostly I do pics and explanations so here they are....... and i just got back my camera- i left my camera in tupelo so these are from the holidays......

The day I got out for Christmas break Bo and I took a trip to New Orleans for the weekend...

We stayed at The Roosevelt Hotel which was so beautiful and decorated so festive! The first thing that I did when we got into the hotel room was open the mini bar and saw a jar of jelly beans- which I love so much so...I reached to grab them and Bo shouted out, "NOOOOO!" and I was like, "What??" I had no idea that once you picked something up it automatically charges your room no matter if you put it back where it was so... we owed 12 DOLLARS for a SMALL jar of jelly beans! But, they were good!


We walked around the French Quarter!

We did a few quarter slots at the big casino but I can't stand losing money!

We had breakfast at Cafe Du Monde!

We went to the aquarium!!

We ate at the Napoleon House, Nacho Mamas on Magazine St., this was our dessert at the Sazerac Restaurant in our hotel!Mr. Jimmy and Charlotte!

Grandaddy, Me, Lollie, and BoAnnual College Christmas Swap!

A few days after Christmas we went to Mountainview, Arkansas with two of our best friends, McLeod and Jason. The cabin was Jason's grandmother's and it was the perfect getaway- his grandmother's rule is no T.V. so we played games, laughed, cooked, went to the little mountain town and made the best memories!

Trying the chilli!

We cooked Ebble Skivers- they are so fun and neat- they originated in some other country- can't think of it- anyway you can fill these little pancakes with anything- vanilla cream, strawberries, jelly, or we used sausage- so good with syrup!!!

In the town of Mountainview- we ate at an old soda shop and walked in all the antique shops- i found an old Julia Child's cookbook!
