I found the best recipes and planned the perfect menu... click for the recipes.
Everything turned out great!  :)


Slow Cooker Honey Dijon Ham

Corn Casserole
I forgot to take a picture before we all dug in!  Oops!
Potatoes Au Gratin (compliments of The Pioneer Woman, so you know it had to be good!)
Soooo yummy!!!
Asparagus
Dessert consisted of Coconut Cake (provided by my grandparents) and fresh fruit!
Here are some pictures from the day:

Feeding Shelby a jelly bean... she doesn't like the black ones!

30 Day Challenge (1) #4

Day 19: Tuesday, 3/20/12
Bright & early (and I mean early) on Thursday morning, I was flying to Texas with my parent's to visit some family & go to a wedding.  That means we had to drop the dogs off at the kennel on Wednesday night.  So, here is a picture of my Shelbinator on our last night together before vacay...


Day 20: Wednesday, 3/21/12
After work my mom and I packed up the car full of dog food and dog cookies to take her two black labs, AJ & Cody, and my lab, Shelby, to the kennel for their own little sleepover/vacay!  Needless to say, two people and three labs in one compact car made for an interesting... yet fun... ride :)

Day 21: Thursday, 3/22/12
After arriving in Dallas, we had to wait in line for a good half hour to get our rental car.  My mom & I sat with our luggage.  There was a little boy sitting next to us by himself (his dad was in line keeping an eye on him) and my mom decided to strike up a conversation.  Once she opened those flood gates, he couldn't be stopped!  Then he whipped out his dad's phone and started taking pictures of us... so I took one of him taking one of us! :)

Day 22: Friday, 3/23/12
Today we drove to Allen, Texas to visit my Uncle's Honda dealership.  While waiting for our tour, we decided to play on the bikes.  Mom picked out this one... I said it'd look better in hot pink ;)

Day 23: Saturday, 3/24/12
Today we went window shopping in Grapevine.  There were some great stores & we really enjoyed the town.  This cupcake was hanging outside one of the stores... I loved it!  So cute!

Day 24: Sunday, 3/25/12
We spent the day at my Uncle's house catching up and relaxing.  While sitting outside enjoying the great weather, I turned and saw this gecko lizard thing.  Surprisingly I did not act too girly & was able to take the picture :)  haha!

Day 25: Monday, 3/26/12
Our last day in Texas and I was so excited we went to eat Mexican!  I loved my blackberry mint margarita :)

Day 26: Tuesday, 3/27/12
I sat by the window on the way home... great view!
