Paula Deen's Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake

Several people have asked for this recipe so here you go...

Crust:
1 package yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 stick butter, melted

Mix and press into buttered 13x9 inch pan.


Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar (I use only 3/4 of this amount)

Mix filling ingredients and pour over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Center should be gooey. Do not overbake.

Portraits By Allie

Allie wants a pink camera for Christmas. If she can take a picture this well I think she should have one! Although she apparently forgot to tell the little ones to say 'cheese'. What sourpusses!

Happy Thanksgiving...a bit late

hmmm...does it seem that someone is missing?
here he is!

my haggard crew;)

If only they were wearing green and red...

this could be our Christmas card photo! LOL

Could you say no to this face???

Conference with Allie's preschool teacher & other misc stuff

As soon as I was seated, Miss Amy says 'she's a pistol'. LOL She also said that she was like a little adult and that of all the kids in the class Allie was the most 'her own person'. She also said Allie was a peach, a joy and a treasure. I told her that we agree:)

You know you might have a problem with shopping when...a UPS truck passes you on the interstate and your 4 year old says, 'that guy comes to our house too'.


So much has happened lately...Allie got her Certificate of Citizenship, we had Brady's 6 month PP appointment, Jeff got his new car, Jeff quit the bank, we had some girls from the World Children's Choir stay with us for a few nights, Brandon got a haircut, Brandon finally decided he was ready to get his driver's permit, Ryan has become a sports fanatic and Brady's decided that we might be an okay family.

I don't want to brag...

but I think he's rather handsome;)

I was cleaning off my desk and found this picture from Christmas 2004 (back when 4 kids seemed like a lot!). Check out Allie's cheeks!

Happy Halloween!!!

a dose of reality

People have asked how I got all three still and looking at the camera at the same time. All I can tell you is that it was a MIRACLE! LOL Here's a more accurate shot...
