shuckin’ corn

i don’t know about you but i sure love summer and all the things about summer. okay so maybe the heat is the only exception especially when it is over a 100 degrees but i am thankful that those days seem to be over for now. i also love going to the farmers market and we have some of the best sweet corn sold at our farmers market. seriously, you have to get there early if you want in on the corn.

can you guess what else i love about summer? how about these barefoot, corn shuckin’ beauties! they love eating corn on the cob and boy howdy let me tell you what! they can flat out do some serious corn shuckin’.

what is better than eating corn on the cob? how about eating corn on the cob outside? that is exactly what we done. took our meal outside and enjoyed a feast of homemade sloppy joes and fresh corn on the cob smeared in real butter. yum! yum!

it has been such a wonderful summer so far and i have enjoyed being with my family so much. i am beyond blessed to have these guys around me everyday and what an honor to hear their sweet voices each day. as a family huge changes are on the horizons for us and so i am soaking up every moment of togetherness that we have. i am off here….my sweet husband has a date night planned out and it is a surprise for me.

have a blessed day!

a glimpse of my day

canning…

a pinterest winner

i love pinterest for several reasons but partly because of all the fabulous recipes that i have found. this cake appeared earlier in the week on my page and i knew it was a must pin kinda recipe! i whipped it up today making a few changes and oh my stars…….it is soooooo good!

layers of super moist chocolate cake, homemade chocolate buttercream frosting, chocolate chips and the ultimate mocha brownie mix in the center. it is rich and a little slice will conquer your chocolate craving. this is the where i found the original recipe. i chilled mine in the fridge for a few hours and it was easy to cut and held together well.

have a blessed day!

fathers day

no better way to start fathers day than spending the day in church as a family and hearing snippets of my husbands sermon while taking care of several little ones in the nursery. i am so blessed to be married to a Godly man who loves me and cherishes me. i am also so blessed to have him as the father of our children.

our children are blessed to have him as their father. he loves them and provides for them. he builds tree swings and gives great underdog pushes. he teaches them how to hunt and all about things in nature. he reads stories and takes them for ice cream treats. he does one on one time with them. our children adore their father. the list could go on forever as to what he does for them but i hope that more than anything they grow up to realize what a great example he was to them and how he showed them the love of God in every day moments.

my dear husband. there are no words in this world to say what you mean to our family. you are the rock that we lean on. the man that we look to for protection. the strong arm that we can cry on. the provider for our family. the great adventurer. the one who makes us laugh when we are mad. the one who brings joy to our days. thank you for all that you are and all that God has created you to be. early in our marriage i dreamed of being a mommy to some precious child and yet here we are today with four beautiful children. thank you for all four of these amazing gifts. i pray that God continues to guide you in being a Godly father to our children. thank you for what you do. we all love and adore you.

happy fathers day!
