Susan a.k.a. spicy is one of the most beautiful women I know. Everything about her is beautiful. Her smile, her soul, her family, her home, her love of cooking, her love of talking, her friendship…just beautiful.
she hosted the most amazing bunco this month. {thanks spicy!}
.....
it has been a girls week, and we’re not stopping yet!
Our neighborhood had bunco tonight,
Cherisa hosted, it was the yummiest food and she has the most adorable
contemporary home I have EVER seen!
don’t ask me what is wrong with my NEW point-n-shoot – here’s the picture…
After bunco I came home for a couple hours and then Kiana and I headed out sporting our twilight tees to the midnight premiere!

i can’t begin to explain how funny and unexpectedly difficult it was to take a group picture. oh my. As soon as someone posts one to their blog that is better than the best one I have, I will replace it
my favorite quote this evening was from Jenn…
“I’m not creative. I’m good with numbers.
.....
Dusty and I have always felt that we totally lucked out with the most incredible neighborhood and the most incredible right next door neighbors. We could not have asked for any family more perfect to be right out our front door. Janette hosted bunco this month, and made everything so delicious and perfect!
I love spending one evening a month with these women! We do have trouble concentrating on the game at times, we can get a wee bit chatty!

Jenn was the hostess this month. She used her beautiful backyard for our girls night. Dinner was delicious, she had my very favorite sugar cookies in the world {a horrible weakness of mine} and she gave each of us our own cute little jar of treats.
Plus Susan, Kara, and I all tried the zip line – it rocks!
.....
What a fun night!
It was my turn to host, and one of my very dearest friends – Susan – came early to help me cook. I want to share with you one of the cutest & easiest things she makes-
First of all, you only need spray oil, fancy shredded parmesean cheese, and a bowl.
Spray your pan, make a thin layer of cheese in a circle, fry, when it starts to golden, carefully flip the cheese over using a fork, fry till the other side is also golden. Remove carefully and place over a small bowl. It’s optional, to use a second bowl to place over the cheese to help it form.
