Goodness

Soccer ended this weekend.  I love watching my kids play the sport that I so loved in school, but it’s a bit crazy getting everybody where they need to be during the week for practices.  I totally understand the parents who say “only one extra curricular activity”…we will be those parents.  I’m kind of a home body now, so needless to say, I’m excited to have some of our weeknights at home back.

With the end of the season did come trophies.  We had some very thrilled wee Kelleys.  The cuteness is a bit too much isn’t it?

And the boys finally got the long for & sought after snow cones they have absolutely been dying for all season.  Well deserved boys, well deserved.

Courtney got married Saturday night.  It was such an incredibly special and bittersweet and awesome wedding wrapped in one.  It was an honor just to be there.  Super congrats Courtney & Patrick.

My camera went dead right when we got there…I was so ticked…so no pictures of Courtney, but she was radiant.  I did manage to snap this picture of me & Jess with Alissa’s greatest photo bomb ever…jazz hand & all 🙂

You can go ahead and thank me for passing this Pinterest recipe along…it’s crazy out-of-this-world good.  Seriously.  Let me introduce you…Meet Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie ‘n Oreo Fudge Brownie…yes, you did read that right.

It’s sinful…completely sinful…and divine.  Oh.My!  I actually put mine in a muffin tin, since I shared.  Baked goods like this could totally change the world 🙂

See those 2 empty spots, well, yeah, Josh & I had to do some taste testing.  We topped them with vanilla ice cream and homemade chocolate sauce.  My Mom was a total ice cream person…it was her favorite and she only bought Breyers…now, so do I.

My Aunt Tootsie’s homemade chocolate sauce is the BEST…hands down.  Make it once and you will make it again… multiple times.  And it’s best stored in a jar, like a true Hall lady 🙂

And yesterday we chilled at home.  Everyone took naps…even the big Kelleys…and everyone had a bit of fun.  Thanks for praying for our day yesterday…it was greatly appreciated.  It’s so nice to be remembered on hard days…so I completely appreciate all the emails, texts and FB messages.  Really appreciate it.

Now if our paperwork would just show up and we’d get our court date call…praying some mighty big prayers for today and the rest of the week.  Ready to meet our itty bitty Kelley.  Still holding onto hope…thanks so much Sara for the sweet reminder…you’re too good…& I totally appreciate it.

Hope your weekend was grand & the start to your week has been encouraging.

Happy Monday!
