Same Great Cause!

Okay, I hope I'm giving you all enough time to plan ahead for Monday, September 29th. ALL Chili's will be having their Donation Profit's Day. All their profits from the entire day will be going to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

So, with that said, I hope you find yourself enjoying a nice meal on Monday, whether it be lunch or dinner at Chili's for a great cause!

All for the Cause!

Christie has always been known for that long, blonde flowing hair.

She tends to put it up in these really funny buns.

But what you don't know about her, is that she will do anything for Cancer Research and Cancer Fundraising. Even cuttinting that long flowing hair. She did it at 5, she did it at 10, and she did it YESTERDAY! Check her out now! WAY TO GO CHRISTIE! I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!

On a Mission!

Okay, I am on a mission for the Ultimate Breakfast Casserole! We do birthday celebrations at work and I attempted a breakfast casserole. Although everyone here at work thought it was TO DIE FOR, I thought I could totally do better.

SOOOO, with that said, if anyone has a REALLY GOOD breakfast casserole recipe they would like to share, please feel free to do so. We have another birthday celebration on Friday.

If we get enough recipes, I may try them all and I will let you know the favorite!

And She's Off!

Our Little Miss Courtney is officially a Kindergartener! She couldn't wait to get on the bus, but after waiting a full 12 minutes, she did just great!

Yep, that's my colorful cast. I broke it 2 weeks ago tripping over the dog. Who knew, it figured it would get better, i guess I was wrong!

She made a difference!

Kathleen Collins was the most incredible woman I have ever met. She was Ron's aunt, but more than that, she lit up a room and never said no. She would bend over backwards for anyone, especially her family, she was just so special. It was also 11 years ago today that we lost this amazing, beautiful woman. Aunt Kathy, you will FOREVER be in our hearts!! We love you!
