Megan...the Butterfinger Cake is almost gone! And i made it around lunch time today. I highly recommend it! And Kay, the pickles....YUM. So easy, and they were fabulous. I will share the easy recipe. One jar of dill sliced pickles 32 ounce. Drain all the juice off. Pour into a container that you can seal with a lid. Discard the juice, keep the pickles (that part cracked me up Kay). Add 2 cups of sugar, a tablespoon of minced garlic, and. Teaspoon of tobasco. I llet it sit on the counter for 2 hours and shook it all around to keep it stirred up. Then to the frig. They were wonderful! Almost all gone...Tyler's little brother, Brendon, said "Mrs Pam, you sure cook good!". J made chicken, sausage, corn, potato salad, beans, deviled eggs, cantalope, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the pickles and cake. Then.....i hit the lake to fish. Got some sun, fished with Tyler and the boys. Colton caught another huge crappie. He realed it in like it was no big deal. We managed to not "jack up" the rod and reels today. Had a blast....sent all the fish home with Tyler's grandpa Joe.
Now i am tired...so off to bed i go.
Love,
Pam (still the Black eyed P)

Those boys...
Dylan and Colton came home with us Saturday night and spent the night. They were in the pool until after 11pm. Both wanted to watch tv afterwards, so i put them in my bed, all propped up on pillows with the tv on and i went in 10 minutes later to check on them and both were cashed out. I moved Dylan to sleep with Danny and Colton slept with me. When i woke up yesterday morning, i had a black eye, well purple on the top, that is. I told Colton he must have done it. The look on his face....priceless! It was probably from going down the bouncey slide the day before, at the reunion, but i didnt tell him that! We left for breakfast at Swaggers and came back. I put hot dogs, hot links and sausage in a roaster pan, made broccoli salad, cream corn and baked beans and was on the pier with the boys by 1pm, after they swam for a while. We all caught a bunch of fish. I only came back to the house twice between 1pm and 8pm and that was for a bathroom break! We had a blast. Colton got his line all "jacked up" (his word not mine) so i unstrung it and fixed it. Then i drew back to throw it out and backlashed it again. He told his Daddy i did it!
They decided to spend the night again, so Ashley and Tazz went home and had quiet night #2. The boys fell asleep in my recliner and i put them to bed, but this time, i put Colton with Danny. We'll see if he has a black eye when he wakes up! Tyler fished with us too, amd played Uno with the boys tonight. I sure do love that kid! Colby went to a movie and Chelsey went to Celina's Bacculartte and spent the night with a friend afterward.
Today it's chicken, beans, potato salad and pickles! Kay sent me the recipe for her hot pickles. Love them! Headed to the store now to get the stuff to make me a jar. It's dill pickles, drained, add sugar, tobasco, garlic and something else... Have to look back at the recipe again. Oh, and i am going to make the butterfinger cake Megan posted. And after that? Well.....i think we will fish some more!
Happy Monday all!

Softball Team WON last night...exciting slide by Shelby at the bottom of the 7th won it 7-6..... I think everyone at the ball park was on their feet as she rounded third and the outfielder was throwing it home. And she Scored!!! Guess wewill be Austin bound next weekend.
Speaking of next weekend...Colton was picked for the All Star Team. He will play next Sunday. Cant wait to watch him!
Today is family reunion time, for The Fenter's. On the hunt for an easy recipe, maybe a salad of some sort. And Danny requested deviled eggs too.
Happy Memorial Day weekend to all,
Pam

Long weekend
Just have to make it thru today.....and then have a much needed long weekend! Looking forward to it. The softball girls won last night...one game between them and the state tournament that begins Thursday in Austin. They play in Allen this afternoon....2nd of a two game series, if they win, it's over, if we lose, game 3 to finish the series will be Saturday.
Today is Chelsey's last day of class. She's exempt from all her exams. Maybe she can help Colby study for all of his! Their Junior year has flown by.
Gotta hit the shower and go finish up May closings.
Have a nice weekend all

Storms....
So....i bailed on my trip to Georgia. Way too busy at work to leave....so i stayed behind to enjoy the storms tonight. Just got home from work 10 minutes ago. If it is going to storm, it happens in Celina and Lewisville. The distancee between had me holed up in the office working, until the storms broke up enough to make it home. Sirens were going off at work, Colby was texting, Dad called, Chelsey texting, Danny texting...giving me a hard time about how clear it was in Georgia, oh and the lady from Chelsey's little bump called $800 to fix her bumper. I think i am going to buy she and Colby bicycles.....that would sure shake them up!
Off to bed i go...night all and Megan, i am glad to hear Jeff made it safe and sound to work.

4 hearts are better than one...
Good morning and happy Sunday!
Saturday was spent in Frisco.....a little girl time with my Chelsey! Manicure, pedicure, a little shopping, spray tan , Dairy Queen and home. Danny and i had planned on a 4pm softball game, but Chelsey and i didnt get home until 5pm.....so.......Danny and i jumped in the car and headed to Lovejoy, late as it was, and caught the last inning and a half of the game. They won! It was tied 3-3 when we got there and it ended at 6-5, so we got to see the excitement of the win.
After that we headed down Hwy 5, with the plan to watch the Mavs game and have a beer. We ended up and Ink ink, which it the Tattoo place in McKinney....i added to my birthday tattoo. I now have swirls and 4 hearts instead of 1. I now have Danny, Ashley, Colby and Chelsey on my wrist forever. Not the names, just a heart for each one. Hector made the hearts red, so it is very pretty. Still not brave enough to get one on my foot....maybe someday.
After the tattoo, we stayed on Hwy 5 and headed to Anna for a beer. The bar was so dang loud, we had 2 and left. Aren't we the party couple.
More "happening around our house".... On our way home Chelsey and i saw a motorcycle wreck. The guy was laying in the deep part of the ditch, and aseveral people had already stopped. A mangled red motorcycle was up in the trees. This was on a big curve near the house. Although a fun curvey road, it's also a dangerous one, with no shoulder....hope the guy was okay. We did see Careflight flying above, which is a good sign...that means he was alive. 30 minutes after we saw the wreck, one of my employees text that her Dad has just been in a motorcycle wreck. My heart sank...but after asking, she said he was headed to Grandbury, which is south, so it was not her Dad that we saw.
As for my spray tan....i will say, fat looks better brown! I have never spray tanned before, Chelsey went in with me to explain how to stand, where to put lotion, etc. Then she left me on my own to strip and be blasted....and dried.....and then turn brown after about two hours. I am not sure that i'll ever lay out again, not that i do anymore anyway!
Today....what to do, what to do....i think i shall fish, maybe. Colby and Kevin went to the Lake Lavon bridges last night and came home with catfish. They had a blast.
When Chelsey and Colby go to school tomorrow, they will be two weeks away from officially being Seniors. Seems like only yesterday they were fighting over a sippy cup and getting their diapers changed.
Have a good day all!
