Sadly, no personal pick for me today. I had 4-5 I was going to choose between, but alas, none of them linked back.  It’s linky rules, you know, a “You scratch our backs, we’ll scratch yours” kind of thing! Maybe next time…..  :)  Anyhow, instead I want to show you a pic I took of some YUMMY treats Dale brought home Tuesday night. He went fishing and came home with no fish.  However, he did find some Morel mushrooms and Asparagus growing wild, he promptly sauteed them in butter for us to try.

Best. Snack. EVER.

First up, Flashback Friday!  Flashback Friday

I picked a yummy Fish Recipe for you that are giving up meat for Lent…..

But since we are talking about fish, check out Destiny’s Flying Fish Project for school.  :)  flying fish

  I learned so much while we researched for her report! Did you know the Flying Fishes tail moves 70 times per SECOND?  This allows it to appear to “fly” across the water, sometimes as far as 1200 feet before going back under.  Our Creator is SO creative! :)

 Now for some fish you can sink your teeth into…..

A Birthday Wish & Weekend Potluck #54

  Hi there, and welcome to Weekend Potluck, where Friends & Foodies meet and eat, alllll weekend long!

Weekend Potluck Banner

  Today instead of Flashback Friday, I want to take a moment to wish a very, very special boy a Happy Birthday!!  Our anniversary baby was due on Valentine’s Day, but he wanted a day of his own, so he made me wait a whole NOTHER 24 hours before arriving.  That means…..

Tylan turns 6 today!

IMG_2148eIMG_2152e

  Tylan Zachary was born after 4 miscarriages in 2 years.  We were all but sure we’d never have another child on earth with us again. 

“For this child I prayed, and the Lord hath granted me that which I asked of Him.”
I Samuel 1:27

012 (2)

God is so faithful, and He gave me my hearts greatest desire….another baby.

A BOY even! Now we had one of each!

011 (3)

Even though I had always wanted 4-6 kids, I knew we must be done, right?  After all our troubles, I figured having one of each meant we should be thankful for what we had and be done.

  Nope.

2 more babies in 2 years, THEN our family was complete. 

004

meetingpax

Tylan,
You bless our home with sweet giggles, your mischievous grin, and such a tender heart. It blesses me so much when you come to me with a deep thought about being a Godly man, or a gentleman. I know you will make such a great Husband and Daddy someday, because you are already aware of the things that make a Godly man great. You are so special, and we are sooo blessed that God gave us YOU!

005021026

Happy 6th Birthday, Buddy!  We love you SO much!  Mommy & Daddy   xoxo

I am not a huge chocolate fan. I don’t crave Hershey’s bars or anything like that. HOWEVER, I WILL eat chocolate to get to the caramel in the center, make sense?

So when I saw this Chocolate Roulade, I was amazed at how delicious it looked, and how bad I wanted to make it.
You know what I like, right???
