When pondering on what to name my blog.... I thought & thought.... and the color yellow came to me!! A dear friend that has gone to be with the Lord (the color yellow that reminds US of her beautiful and bright smile) gave me the inspiration for the theme . In memory of a wonderful friend.

Our FIRST Visitor

The Hubby and I had our first visitor this weekend! We were so excited that one of my greatest friends BECKY came to enjoy a relaxing weekend in Daphne! 


As many of you know Becky is one of best friends and because of our BUSY lives we hardly get to see each other... We went from seeing each other almost everyday while in school at AUBURN to only seeing each other on "important" weekends. Becky is going to school (at Auburn University) to become an Audiologist  (hearing Doctor)... I always joke with her and call her DR. SNELL... :)

I was so excited when Becky called and said that she had a free weekend and wanted to come visit... She drove ALL the way from ATLANTA to DAPHNE... I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Becky called me Friday morning to let me know she was on her way. I missed her 1st call, because I was in a job interview :) .... I called her back and we begin to make plans for the beautiful weekend we had in store. We had some time to catch up knowing that Becky was going to be in the car for a while.... She was so excited to tell me about someone FAMOUS that she met!!! Thinking back to when she first moved to Atlanta (Buckhead) I always would ask her, "So, have you seen anyone famous yet?" and she would always reply "NOT YET!" Well things had changed this past week..... Becky finally got to meet someone famous :)     MRS. ROSALYNN CARTER!!!! I was so jealous but excited for her. I think it would be a great opportunity to meet a former First Lady..... So I knew once Becky told me of her exciting week, our weekend could only get better .....


FRIDAY NIGHT

Friday night we enjoyed some delicious CRAWFISH with some great friends at R&R SEAFOOD   Me, J. Jay, Becky, Wes & Ashley (J. Jay's roommate from college and his girlfriend)  If you come to Baldwin County it is a must that you visit R&R (on the Causeway)  for some great seafood!



The Hubby and I love eating CRAWFISH!!! This reminds me of when we first started dating.... J.Jay had just moved to Daphne and was living on the Bay... We enjoyed the luxury of being able to walk down the pier and sit and enjoy a relaxing evening eating crawfish while watching the sun set over Mobile :) This picture just makes me smile because it reminds of the start of my WONDERFUL LIFE WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND HUSBAND!!!









SATURDAY 


Saturday morning we woke up to enjoy PANCAKES AND CONECUH SAUSAGE  :)
The Hubby usually knocks my idea about chocolate chip pancakes...but he finally tried them and loved them! I was so proud of myself because usually when I cook pancakes I make them to big or to thick....but, they turned out just RIGHT this time!!!





After breakfast Becky and I made our way to Orange Beach for the day for a relaxing girls day!!! We were blessed with the most beautiful weather...it was just perfect outside... hardly a cloud in the sky and a constant breeze in the air. The waves were HUGE on Saturday...as we laid there reading our books and taking breaks to discuss life and remember our greatly missed friend BRITTANY.... we relaxed to the sound of the waves!!







I highly recommend the books that we are reading!!! Once we picked up these books we were sucked in and it was so hard to put down. So if you are looking for a great book to read this summer while at the pool or at the beach then I would recommend either of these TWO books or any of the others written by this author.  We have decided that we will read all of her books.... we will switch books with each other during the summer... I am really looking forward to reading these books....because the 1st one that I have started is great and I can hardly put it down once I start reading!!!!

This is the book that I have started reading

This is the one Becky has started reading! 



After a relaxing day at the beach I cooked dinner for the 3 of us!!!

Homemade Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Grocery List
1 box of Bow tie pasta
1 12oz can of evaporated milk ( I use PET)
1 can of parmesan cheese
Butter
Chicken Tenders
Garlic Salt
Pepper
2 cups of broccoli
Olive oil

Directions

Cook the chicken tenders in a skillet on the stove with 3 tablespoons of olive oil & season with garlic salt and pepper to taste

Boil the pasta and drain it

Steam the Broccoli

Take the 12oz can of evaporated milk, 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of parmesan cheese and heat on the stovetop until blended all together (make sure to keep this stirred because it sticks easily) I cook over medium heat.

* I try to start everything at one time and by the time the chicken and pasta are done your Alfredo Sauce will be thickened just right.

Once everything is done cooking pour the pasta in a bowl add the chicken and broccoli followed by the Alfredo sauce and then mix all together. I then sometimes add some extra parmesan cheese as well as mozzarella cheese onto for decoration.

ENJOY!!




To finish up a great day J.Jay, myself and Becky watched a great movie.... Now this is probably not a "FAMILY" movie if you know what I mean....but it was a really funny movie. I seriously cannot think of time during the movie that we were not laughing. If you just need a good laugh I highly recommend you watching this movie :)


Sunday

We all enjoyed the Sunday morning service at The Church On The Eastern Shore and then MEXICAN FOR LUNCH (a tradition that J. Jay and I have made & luckily Becky was all for the idea) 



J. Jay and I are so blessed to have Becky and we are so glad that she came to spend the weekend with us. I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend as well. 


Sunday morning at church we discussed PSALM 77 ... I recommend that each of you read it and truly study it and understand it!!! As I have been through a lot over this past year...this passage was great for me and has given me a lot of guidance on MOVING PAST THE PAIN!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!

Life's Greatest Blessing

 I have been MIA for a couple of days.... busy preparing for a job interview and spending time with my new family for Easter. (missed you MOM, DAD, TUFF & CHLOE)

The Hubby and I had a wonderful Easter weekend with the family in Brewton!!!
We enjoyed a weekend full of fun and celebrations!

 Granny (J.Jay's Grandmother) celebrated her 80th Birthday!!! Granny is such a wonderful woman and has so much love to give. She was so excited to celebrate this special day with all of her children and grandchildren.

Granny and all the Grandchildren & "grandchildren-in-law" (haha if that is a word)

I just love this photo :) everyones smiling face and bright colors!!!



ALL the girls :)
Enjoyed a wonderful lunch to celebrate Easter as well!! 

CHECK OUT THAT SPREAD !!!
Sweet Potato Casserole, Deviled Eggs, Homemade Rolls, Dressing, Green Beans, Asparagus, Homemade Mac & Cheese,  and a YUMMY Honey Baked Ham :)


Stuffing our FACE :) 


ALL OF US!!!

I always wanted a BIG family. :) When we all together = 10 and now soon to be 11 :)
You can see PARKER is about to make his debut ... Sarah and Brad are expecting and I could not be more excited to be an AUNT!!!! Parker will be here for our annual beach trip in AUGUST to Seaside... Cannot wait




SWEETS

Look familiar? 

The PIGS! Everyone enjoyed these this weekend. They look a little rough after the ride to Brewton, but they still tasted good:)

Yummy! Miriam (my mother-in-law) made a delicious homemade Strawberry Cake

We all love Strawberry Cake... 
While I was living in Auburn, most every time that I would go to visit Brewton I would bring a Strawberry Cake from FINDLEY'S. 
***I need to get the recipe so that we can all enjoy***

Granny's beautiful BIRTHDAY CAKE



Saturday morning The Hubby and I went fishing at Paw's pond :)
 It was so peaceful and beautiful!! We caught 7 fish... and I was so proud of myself because I FINALLY caught the 1st fish!! I swear J.Jay has a secret communication with the fish... and he just sweet talks them to his bait...haha  
Some of you may know this, but J.Jay has caught an 11.6 pound bass and that is one of his most prized possessions. Because this was such a HUGE accomplishment he had this FISH mounted... and during the move one of his fins broke.... well he had "surgery" I guess what the men call repair :) but, he traveled back to Daphne with us this weekend and I was given strict instructions not to touch him ... not even my new Coach purse could ride next to him :) BOYS AND THEIR TOYS :) J. Jay told me that he would look great in our new living room, but I quickly told him NO... He looks much better in his office at work!!!
So all jokes aside... when we go fishing I guess I find myself becoming a little stingy when J. Jay always catches the BIGGEST fish. I make sure to tell him every time that it's just  not fair that he has already had his glory!  We always have a great time fishing together and I continue to learn from THE PRO :)

The first fish of the day :) caught by ME!!

The Hubby's Bass....  11.6 pounds



Unfortunately I do not have any photos from Easter morning... I hope that my mother-in-law will get some to me :)



As I mentioned before I am preparing for a job interview this week... :) I ask that each of you please keep me in your prayers! I know that God is working in my life and if this is a part of his plan then it will be DONE.  For I lean hard on God's word everyday and have found great strength over the past 2 months through these powerful words... 

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"  Jeremiah 29:11

As most of you may know I have an obsession with PIGS... I know...I know :) I have just always wanted a cute little pink pig. I tell J. Jay all the time how I want a pig and he just says "Sam, if we get a pig you have to take care of it" and we all know that PROBABLY would not happen.... then he reminds me "Sam, that pig will become your pet and one day when he becomes BACON you will be devastated"

So this is my closest chance to having a pig :)  haha

____________________________________________________


These look a bit more challenging.... but so cute!!!


Vanilla Cupcakes: 

• 2 2/3 cups sugar

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 2 large eggs

• 2 large egg yolks

• 2/3 cup milk

• 2/3 cup water

• 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 1/3 cups cake flour

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners. (To avoid cupcakes sticking if they overflow slightly, lightly spray the tops of the pans.) Put tins on a baking sheet. Set aside.

Process sugar and butter in a food processor until very creamy, scraping sides as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, pulsing after each addition. Add the milk, water, and vanilla and process to blend.

Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients, in 3 batches to the wet, pulsing, and then scraping batter off the sides of the processor as needed after each addition. Process until the batter is very smooth and pourable like pancake batter, about 2 minutes. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Bake until the cakes are just firm and spring back when gently pressed, and the tops are golden, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly in tin, and turn out of tin when cool enough to handle. Cool cupcakes completely on a rack before frosting.



Fluff Frosting:

• 1/4 cup whole milk

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 5 cups confectioners' sugar

• 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

• Pinch fine salt

Whisk the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.
Slowly beat the butter and sugar, in another medium bowl, with an electric mixer until incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.) Add the fluff and salt and reduce the speed to low. Add the milk and vanilla mixture, scrape the bowl down, and mix until fully incorporated. Raise the mixer to high and beat briefly until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use immediately

Ingredients:  Decorations

• 1 vanilla cupcake, taken out of the paper, recipe follows 

• About 1 cup White Fluff Frosting, recipe follows 

• 1 large marshmallow 

• 2 white candy eyes 

• 1 purple jujube candy 

• 1 short 1/4 inch and 1 long piece 2 inch black string licorice 

• 35 mini-marshmallows 

• 4 purple and 2 pink jelly beans 

Directions: Decorations

Place the large marshmallow in the center. Lightly frost candy eyes and press onto the marshmallow. Frost the back of the jujube candy and put below eyes to for a nose. Frost the short piece of licorice lightly and press underneath the nose to make the mouth. Press mini-marshmallows all around the cupcakes and the face to make the lambs coat. Frost the tips of the pink jelly beans to make ears. Stick the purple jelly beans in the front and back of the cupcake for feet. Curl the long piece of licorice and press into frosting to make the lamb's tail. 




I hope that everyone has a blessed day!!! Let me know if anyone tries these :)

Beach Fever

The Hubby and I are so blessed to live only 30 minutes from the beach :) but we have not had the time to go since we have moved in!! Beach trip is on our TO DO LIST!


I was looking through the photos on my computer and stumbled across some fun pictures that I want to share with you!!

I am sure most of you have heard of YOLO BOARDING


Well every year The Pitts family takes a week long beach trip to Seaside, FL (we love it there). My brother and sister-in-law (Scott & Stacy) introduced us all to YOLO BOARDING. They enjoyed Yolo Boarding on their honeymoon and they took us to the location this past year during the beach trip.

*YOLO BOARDING = "Stand Up Paddling" (SUP)
* YOLO = You Only Live Once

YOLO BOARD - CHECK IT OUT

As many of you know I love trying new things and the hubby is the same way... I was very excited when Scott and Stacy mentioned the idea. Once we got there and I saw exactly what we were doing..... well I am not going to lie I WAS NERVOUS....the thoughts were running through my mind.... "Oh there is no way I can balance on that thing"   "Now if I fall off what kind of crazy creature is going to get me"   "WHAT HAVE I GOT MY SELF INTO"   "You Only Live Once...what is that a warning or something"

Well needless to say I WAS WRONG and it is very easy to catch on as well as balance. They give you a lesson that is very helpful! Oh, and I almost forgot... NO CRAZY CREATURE GOT ME!!

I hope you enjoy these pictures and you should consider going YOLO BOARDING next time you are at the beach :)


Some of my sisters-in-law
(L - R)
Me, Lindsay & Stacy

See not so bad! You have got to try this... it is so relaxing, enjoyable & you get great exercise!!!






So now the fun begins :)
For all of you that know J. JAY well I just think this picture says it all :)
I believe he was racing everyone at this point... always keeping a smile on my face!!

haha... so I think he wore himself out & tried a different approach! 

So we both had to take a break and enjoy the sun!

US with Scott & Stacy!! Thanks for introducing this to us :)






So as I mentioned in a previous post... I have now have 3 brothers and a father-in-law!!! 
MEET THEM :)


BRENT

BRAD

SCOTT

JOEY (My Father-in-law)



I hope that if you have the opportunity to go YOLO BOARDING that you give it a try and I know that you will enjoy!!!



More Beach Fever :)

As I blogged in an earlier post... I am planning to do what I call a PHOTO MOSAIC on the wall in our bedroom... I had a neat idea as one of the frames to add and wanted to share it with you!!

A shabby chic white frame....

Lined with some natural burlap...

with a white star fish in the middle of the frame...


This just gives me the perfect vision of the BEACH... a vision of a star fish on the sand!!!! 
Like i mentioned before our room is decorated with whites and khaki for a cool, clean, what i like to call beach feeling :)


I CHALLENGE YOU!!!


In honor of my BEACH FEVER... I attempted and the BIG word being attempted cooking CRAB CAKES last night and needless to say I can mark that one off the list as a FAIL.   
J. Jay was so sweet and ate them anyway... even though I know they were terrible!!! 

I wanted to post the recipe and see if any of you are brave enough to attempt this :) and share with you a little secret that a friend suggested!! The issue was getting them to stick together...

1 pound lump crabmeat
8 saltine crackers, crushed
1 egg
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon greek yogurt (her recipe called for mayo, I was out)
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoons olive oil
Combine all ingredients in a bowl except oil and stir until thoroughly combined. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. While it’s heating, form the crab mixture into small patties – you will get about 5 to 6 cakes. Place them in the skillet and cook until lightly golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
*Caroline's helpful advice!!!  Use the skillet for only a few minuets and then bake them and they shouldn't fall apart! (Thanks SIS) 


ONE MORE THING!


Another thing that my sister-in-law STACY introduced to me! Last year on the beach trip she was reading this book and I just LOVED the cover and it sucked me in... I am proud of myself because I usually cannot stand to read but I am finding it to more enjoyable!!! So I have had this book a while and just not found some extra time to pick it up and read! I am about half way through and I would highly recommend it :) So if you are looking for a great book to read ... here you are!!! (This is a great one for pool side or laying on the BEACH :) Thanks STACY!



HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" 


DID YOU KNOW:

"Something Old"    symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and past
"Something New"  means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead
"Something Borrowed" usually an item from a happily married family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to pass over to the new bride
"Something Blue"    brides wear blue to symbolize love, modesty, fidelity as well as purity



"Something Old"
I carried my Mother's first wedding band that my Dad gave her attached to my garter

You're going to have to look hard for this one! (under the feathers of the garter a gold band)

A couple of days before the wedding I still didn't have anything "OLD" and my Mom and Dad presented me with my Mom's very first wedding band that my Dad gave my mom on their wedding day. This was very special to me :)

Meet MOM ( SARA)

Already introduced Dad (Curt)
Can you tell I am a DADDY'S girl ???




"Something New" & "Something Borrowed"
(Same Photo)
I wore a pearl and diamond ring for "Something New." A gift from Senator Harri Anne Smith.
For "Something Borrowed" I wore my Mother-in-laws pearl bracelet.
(in the photo I am holding Harri Anne's hand)

I am not sure if you know this, but Harri Anne is my cousin by marriage of her husband Charlie. She gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to work with her for a year! She is an amazing woman and has taught me so many wonderful things in life.  She is a woman of God and through all that she has been through still manages to stand strong and be an amazing woman. When she gave me this ring I could not believe it and could not stop staring at it's beauty!! I am truly blessed to have her and Charlie in my life!


Another great photo of "Something New" & "Something Borrowed" 

It was an honor for J. Jay's mother (Miriam) to allow me to "borrow" her pearl bracelet!! As I mentioned before the "Something Borrowed" item should be from a family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to pass over to the new bride. WOW! What better person to borrow this from? I am so blessed to have J. Jay's loving family and they are such a wonderful example for love and guidance in marriage!!! 

My favorite picture with my mother-in-law. Giving her hug with her "baby" J. Jay in the back ground!


"Something Blue"
The soles of my shoes were my "Something Blue" with the words "I DO" spelled out in rhinestones

I pondered for a while what to wear as something blue... one day I came across these shoes and I knew right away these shoes were ME :)  they were so comfortable and stylish!! 

For all you "TO BE BRIDES" if your interested in these shoes...check them out!!! They have tons and they are so chic :)
( Pour La Victoire Bridal )




The Stars of the SHOW :)

My two flower girls and ring bearer were THE BEST to say the least!! 

Flower Girls:  Sofia Langford (Cousin of the Bride)
Skylar Baird (Cousin of the Bride)

The flower girls wore sheer tutus of sage green and black with a peacock feather clip on the tutu as well as a peacock feather headband! ALL designed by my cousin NIKI (Bella Tu Designs) and they carried kissing balls covered with green buttons with handles of black and white damask ribbon. 
When deciding on the flower girls outfits I knew I wanted to do something different and something that they would like to wear and enjoy later. So I contacted my cousin and told her what I wanted and she got it to me in a week!! 

Ring Bearer:  John-Braxton Rhodes  (Cousin of the Groom)

The ring bearer wore a black tux with a matching tie to the groomsmen and carried a moss covered gift box tied with satin plaid ribbon.

When deciding who we would use for the flower girls and ring bearers J.Jay and I knew without a shadow of doubt we would ask these 3. They entertained everyone all day and especially at the RECEPTION!!! The photos will prove their talents :) John-Braxton and Skylar impressed everyone with their dance moves... we all swore that they took lesson ... NO WAY!!! It just came natural!




This was at my Bridesmaid luncheon ( Skylar on the left and Sofia on the right) They had matching outfits and for their baby dolls

John Braxton





These two (Skylar & John Braxton) owned the dance floor...they were not nervous at all and didn't care if anyone was watching! They dance the entire time :)  I think we should get them on dancing with the STARS!!!



I hope that these pictures bring a smile to you today!!! These are some of the most favorite things from our wedding weekend! We are so blessed!  

I ask that each of you keep me in your prayers this week... I see God working in my life. I will continue to keep you updated as I have more information! But, I know that prayer works because God is beginning to open doors for me to live my dream to make a difference in the lives of others!!! I will see soon if it is in God's plan for me and I will keep you updated!!!

Have a great day!!! 
Only 3 more days until the weekend (we are spending it with my cousin Jeremy, his wife Nicole, and their kids Sofia and Davis!!! The boys are playing golf and the girls are shopping and relaxing :)
