Happy 1st Birthday, Wyatt Cole Sonsel

With many family & friends, we celebrated Wyatt's 1st birthday on June 18th. His actual birthday is June 19th but with it being Father's Day, we celebrated a day early. The theme was 'John Deere.' Thank you all for making his day special!

A special thanks to Eric Cook for his wonderful photography skills!

Sister wanted to help with gifts too

Not sure about this...
Why is everyone singing & looking at ME?!
Ok, maybe I DO like this!

On Hold......

As soon as I can find my way out of all these boxes & all this junk stuff, I will begin posting again... I have been doing a few crafty things in my spare (haha) time.

On another note, we are settling into our new home in Houston & thrilled to be back home close to family, friends & SHOPPING (well, Jake isn't thrilled about that but I sure am.)

Adios Corpus Christi, Hello HOUSTON!!!

YES, we are moving back home! Jake will be working for FMC starting at the beginning of May so we are moving in 2-3 weeks! Yikes-not much time to wrap things up here but oh so thankful for the move. And, even more thankful for my amazing husband who scored not just a job, but a GREAT job that will allow me to stay home with the babes! God is good!

Thank you to all of you who have been praying. We love you!!!

I Like a Little BBQ on Sunday...

Hubby's {one day famous} BBQ......

Sonsel Sass

Yes, I have started a little business. Well, sort of. If you are interested in buying something, please email me @ texasa99ie@gmail.com. I have plans to put my stuff on Etsy one day but just don't have enough stuff yet {or time}. Not sure why I have decided to start this while we are trying sell our house, moving {to who knows where}, hubby is getting out of the military & entering the "real" world, & I have two children under the age of 2 1/2 but I am! Never a better time than now, right?! Here are a few samples... I have a few more things that I will post soon.

My all time favorite dessert is red velvet cake, so when I came across this e-mealz recipe for Chocolate Red Velvet Cupcakes, I HAD to try it. And it was...simply divine! And, now, I HAVE to share it.

{Chocolate} Red Velvet Cupcakes
1 pkg (2 layer) Red Velvet Cake Mix
1 (3.9 oz.) pkg. chocolate instant pudding
1 c chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate)
Icing: I chose 1 (16 oz.) container Duncan Hines Creamy Homestyle Cream Cheese Icing
instead of making the icing :)

Add dry pudding mix to dry cake mix. Add ingredients as listed on cake mix package & mix as directed. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon into prepared muffin cups & bake as directed on cake mix. Cool & frost.
I served them with Blue Bell {of course} Vanilla Bean ice cream.

So simple!
