Maternity Picture Time!

Image
32 weeks preggers Baby bump time! Goodness it's very strange looking at how I've morphed into a mommy! My wonderful husband Blake was able to capture a few special pictures while we set out to take Dwayne and Kelsey's first anniversary pictures. Kelsey also took a picture of us together too! So, all I had to do was go and edit, add colors, and have fun watching how I attempt to hide my braces in each picture. December 4th I am schedule to get my braces off and December 7th is baby day so we'll see how it all works out. Some of these were simply taken in our front yard under our big tree and the others were at Mansker's Station.

Pumpkin Pie Truffles

I love making truffles for friends! MMM! Ready to make these?  By the way, thanks for the pretty platter Kelsey, I use it all the time!  I couldn't go any longer without making these!

You can find the  Recipe Here  but you know I had to make a few changes. I doubled the recipe since I was making these as a gift and did not include the orange zest simply because I didn't want to buy and waste an orange. I have a phobia of oranges, they're not allowed in this house! Also, if you make them you may notice all the comments below the recipe that mention the filling being too soft to dip. Everyone was complaining that they couldn't figure it out... is it really that hard? I had to find out for myself. Other than keeping the filling extra chilled, there had to be a solution! Simple! All you have to do is add more dry ingredients ...

Oh my goodness! Ryleigh Coon is quite possibly the cutest little girl ever! I am so excited to show you some fall pictures I took last week of this precious baby girl who is six months old. You may remember the maternity pictures before Ryleigh came into the world or the newborn pictures I took previously. Talk a look if you haven't seen them! Don't you love fall?
