BIG BROTHER 13!!

Thursday night I was so excited!! It was the Big Brother 13 premier! What better way to watch the season 13 premier than with a Big Brother party?! That is just what I did! Instead of game night, we had Big Brother night this week :)

The next few months are going to be so exciting finding out who wins HOH, Power of Veto's, and the overall $500,000 winner! We had some drinks and some yummy food! Nana(Ms.Mary) made chicken salad and we had slop (mexican caviar) and mini cheesecakes!

 Traci even made our own "houseguest keys" for the party!

Every week we will place our key in the person's (or dynamic duo's) card holder that we think might be put up on the block. So, we placed our keys in the dynamic duo's card that we thought RACHEL would put up on the block. I AM SO EXCITED they brought Jordan and Jeff back on the show!! I hope they stay for a long while, but Rachel gets on my NERVES and hopefully she won't try and backdoor them.

 Here I am placing my "tiny" houseguest key into a box of who I think will win in the end. At the end of the BB13 season we will count the keys of the person who wins and the person who guessed the winner of BB13 the most amount of times wins a GRAND fabulous prize!

Anyone else watch the BB13 premier? What are your thoughts??

Headland Visit

I recently was looking on my camera, and noticed that my Momma must have taken it to Headland when Kyle and Rebecca were in town. I was sad that I wasn't able to hang out with them this day. They went to the movies and to the O-SO-CUTE town of Headland for some sight-seeing and coffee at a local coffee shop there. I did meet them for lunch at Olive Garden during my lunch break though :) Anyways, they took my camera without asking and are getting payback because I decided to post them without them approving of them first :) At least we can tell by these pics they had a great time...and that Kyle apparently likes to get his picture taken. My cousin Darby was in town visiting with some of her friends, so it was nice they were able to see her for a bit!

Silly Chloe!

Remember that anniversary cake we had for Kyle and Rebecca? Well, I let have Chloe have just a TINY bit of icing and I just had to share this picture of my sweet baby enjoying her 'dessert'!

Hopefully she just gave you a little laugh on this FRIDAY! YAY!! It's the weekend!! Have a great one!

4th Recap!

On July 4th, I spent the afternoon at my grandparents house! I just LOVE every moment that I get to spend with family!! Nothing makes this southern cinderella happier than being with the fam'! My uncle grilled some fantastic porkchops and hamburgers and my Me-Maw made a salad, HUGE baked potatoes, fried squash, and for dessert we had homemade vanilla ice cream! YUMMY! Look at those big ol' juicy chops'!

After we ate our lunch, we all sat around and looked at pics and talked. We then decided to play a round of FARKLE! I was so excited that Heath was off work on Monday because he was able to come to Me-Maw and Paw-Paw's too!! Chloe decided to rest with Heath after lunch! Look how sweet and cute she is :)

 Remember Chad? This is my uncle who went skydiving with me and who is always grilling something fabulous up on the grill!

After we left my grandparentshouse, we headed home and Heath and I had a relaxing evening watching movies :) 

I totally scored that top at Gap for 40% off :) I decided to add the belt and voila!

Big Apple Adventure

I've been in NYC all week long!! I might not have been in the REAL New York City, but i was surely on a "Big Apple Adventure"! Last week my friend Rebekah and I were busy teaching 3rd grade at Vacation Bible School at our church! We had loads of fun teaching our 12 kids and taking them to Worship Rally at 'Times Square', Bible Study at 'Battery Park', crafts at 'Crafts Central', 'Midtown Snacks', 'Music Backstage', and 'Missions Central'.

*The verse of the week was Romans 10:17*

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Jesus Christ. — Romans 10:17

Enjoy some of the following pics taken this week at VBS. Thanks to Mrs.Kathy for taking a few of these :)

These are the 2nd and 3rd graders practicing for their singing performance that was held for their parents on Friday night!

 Notice I am sitting with the boys, I had to make sure they behaved during worship :) Lucky for me, they were such sweethearts!

 I love my Rebekah!!

 Here I am walking out of worship and heading to the fun that was about to begin during the last night of VBS 2011!

Have a FABULOUS week!!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Today I am celebrating our independence at my grandparent's house! There is nothing better than being with family on a holiday! I am pretty excited I was off work and able to sleep in for about an hour this morning :) Last Wednesday at work we had a 4th of July lunch. It was so yummy! If you live near the Dothan area, you must try out Zach's restaurant. They catered our meal and it was simply delicious! We had some fried chicken, BBQ, baked beans, creamed corn, and a very good potato salad! (trust me it was good, i hardly eat potato salad, but i ate this kind!) We also had 2 cakes handmade and Gary made his famous "cornbread fritters"! I took my camera hoping to take pics of my co-workers for their 'blog debut' because they are wanting to be featured real bad! After they found out about 'Southern Cinderella', they now read it daily looking for new posts to read! Anyways, I totally didn't take any pics of our lunch..silly me!

However, I did take a pic of some 'Star Spangled Treats' I made for the girls and guys at work on Friday! I took 16 stars to work and 2 were left!!! Guess they enjoyed them :)

 Wanna know how to make these cuties?? When I got done making these, I couldn't help but think about other holidays I could make these for..then I thought "Lindsay, why haven't you thought of this before?"

All you do is make your Rice Krispy treats as normal. Of course with Rice Krispie brand cereal and large Jet-Puffed brand marshmallows :) Let the rice krispy treats sit in the 13x9 pan for a couple hours to "set" and harden a little. Then you get a cookie cutter (make sure it's a metal cookie cutter and not plastic) and cut out your shapes! I realized after about 4 stars that it was getting harder to cut out the shapes, so I got some butter and rubbed it on the inside/outside of the cookie cutter so it wouldn't stick :) Aren't I smart? Then I dipped the top of the stars in melted vanilla Almond Bark and sprinkled with patriotic sprinkles :)

I hope everyone is having a FABULOUS 4th of July! Maybe I will get some sparklers to make it official :)

There's always reason for cake..

Happy 1st Anniversary

Kyle and Rebecca!

A year ago today I was in ENGLAND and enjoying every moment of it! As many of you already know I was in England on a 'va-cay' for my brother's wedding!! It was a gorgeous event! Today Kyle and Rebecca flew back to England and I was the lucky one who was picked to drive them to the airport in Montgomery :) Look how cute the happy couple is on their 1 year anniversary!

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL KYLE HE IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A HAIRCUT :)

When Kyle went to weigh his luggage, his bag weighed 56 pounds. The weight limit is 50 pounds per bag. Rebecca's luggage was 44 pounds. Kyle had to transfer some stuff from his luggage to hers. He got a little embarrased that I took his pic doing this...hehehe! I just couldn't resist!

Last night we had cake to celebrate!! I ordered this 'smash cake' from Publix and let me say that this was SOO good :) Mom made sure to set the table with their wedding program and pics from the wedding and wedding festivities! Isn't my Momma the best??

Since I am SUCH a sweet sister, I made dinner last night for the happy couple :) A new recipe made from "Hungry Girls' 300 under 300" cookbook and homemade french fries! I even put them in old-fashioned baskets with liners I found at Wal-Mart recently :)

Here's the recipe for the burgers I made that were under 300 calories each! They were SOOO good too :)

Hungry Girl's Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger

Kyle likes to call this "Burger Surprise"

These instructions are for 1-ONE burger.

Mix 4 oz. extra-lean ground beef (thanks to Ashley at work for explaining lean meat to me and telling me to use 93/7) with 1 Tbs. precooked crumbled bacon plus salt and pepper to taste; form a ball around 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss; flatten slightly into a thick patty; cook to desired doneness.

Have a GREAT week!!!
