Come On In and Stay A While!

Here we are!

Our new blog.

I know you already know who we are,
but since we’re using all new names, I thought I’d reintroduce us:

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

First and Foremost is my sweet husband.
We’ll call him
Flynn’
Why?
Because he loves flying airplanes and for some reason,
the name ’Flynn’ brings images of
a Red Baron type pilot to my mind.

Next is moi.
The name I’ve chosen for myself is
’Betty’
as in Betty Crocker.
I don’t need to explain that,
DO I?

And I think it’s virtually impossible to find a “normal” picture of myself.
This is as good as it gets for me.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I hope you’ll love
’Belle and Beast’*
They could also be called
Hot Mama and Hot Daddy since they just announced
they are going to be new parents
in August next year.

Yes, that means I’m going to be a grandma!

YIKES!

I didn’t know you could be a grandma at age 25!
:)

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And this leaves us with
’Scooter’

Adam 3rd grade

Remember ‘Scooter’ on the Muppets?

I didn’t realize how closely they resemble each other.
Until now.
But I think it fits, don’t you?

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is my family.
I love them.
I adore them.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I haven’t determined what I’ll call the cute little town we live in.
Maybe “Zion.”
Those that know exactly where that is -- which is most of you --
will get the joke.

I’ll let you know for sure after I ponder on it for a while.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thanks for following us here.
New life.
New adventures.
New experiences.
Same old us.

I’ll say it again,
Life is Good
and
We’re just happy to be here!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

*Disclaimer*
I knew I wanted to use a princess name for ‘Belle’.
She has been a princess since the day she was born.
I couldn’t use any other kind of name for her.
I asked her and her husband to pick a Disney Princess and Prince.
’Belle’ and ‘Beast’ is what they chose.
Emphasis on THEY.
But I think it’s hilarious!

Betty, I hope you still post some of your famous recipes! I may have to come to Zion for a few cooking lessons! You're right,25 is much too young to be a grandma! Congratulations to Belle and the Beast.

Woohoo! Congrats to the new parents and the new grandma! You SERIOUSLY don't seem like you can already be a Grandma, but you'll be great. You already have double bonus points because you make make delicious baked goods and you are hilarious. Very good, very good.

I'm so excited that you are going to be joining me as a Grandma, even if you are MUCH TOO YOUNG ; )

Love all the names. Gotta say when I think of Flynn I think of Flynn Rider from Tangled.

Looking forward to more and more recipes from you--glad you didn't use Martha as in Martha Stewart.
