amazing layered dessert!

i've been wanting to make this layered dessert

for quite some time and decided today was the day!

it was my late grandmothers recipe and one of my favorites!

it's made of layers of graham crackers sandwiched with

layers of vanilla pudding/milk/coolwhip

and finally melted chocolate frosting drizzled on top!

right now it's in the fridge setting up

and i can't wait to have some in an hour or so!!

Oregon ducks baseball game!

dean's dad kelly, and girlfriend lori

this past weekend we went to an oregon ducks baseball game!

both dean and his dad love the ducks so it was a dream come true for dean!

we had a great time although they ended up losing.

it was the first time that dean and i have gone to a game together..

usually i would just watch him play!

Memorial day in Eugene, OR

dean and i got to spend memorial day weekend

with his dad and grandma in eugene

we had a great weekend and i enjoyed looking

at these hanging baskets that were placed around the yard.

im glad it was sunny and i could sit outside and get some sun!

the pansies reminded me of my late grandmother

who also used to have pansies planted in her yard.

oh how i miss her.

we also got to have a bbq with his family and had some

amazing food courtesy of dean's dad, who is an fabulous cook!

i got surprised today with this bouquet of flowers

as a belated birthday present from my wonderful mother-in-law!!

dean, whitney and myself got these yummy goodies!!

they just happened to be having a special sale

and snacks on my birthday!

LIVE. LOVE. LOFT.

oh how i love this store..

especially with a sale on my birthday : )

my sister got me a giftcard and i was able

to get a cute top and sweater!!

this past weekend i turned the big 25.

i'm glad i was able to spend it with those

whom i love and care about so much.

dean and i were so grateful for my sister

and her husband reed for letting us stay with them.

we love coming to portland and hanging out

with them and precious little tayvee.

it was so good getting to see my good friends

shannon and rachel also while i was home (pictured above)

its always a good time coming home, getting bubble tea

and just hanging out... and of course doing some shopping!!

i finally found chai k-cups.

They're back and now i am too.
