Appy's Apple Cake


Hey Friends, this is a cake that my mom bakes. It is so easy and makes the house smell so yummy! Blessings~Robin


Appy's Apple Cake

1 1/4c oil
2 c sugar
3 eggs
3 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp soda
3 c chopped fine apples (fuji is what she uses) (3-4 apples) peal them and cut into small chunks
1 c pecans chopped
1 c coconut

Mix eggs. Add sugar and oil. Add dry ingredients. Add apples, pecans, and coconuts. Mix.
Bake in 2 loaf pans. Spray Pam on the pans first. Then bake for one hour (if using a smaller pan then bake 40 minutes. If you cook it less than an hour or 40 minutes it will not be done and will be gooey inside) at 325 degrees. Let it set for a bit and then turn them out. Enjoy!

Words to think about from Mom....

3L's, a few things I want you to think about. ~American has the words I CAN in it. You can!


~The person who looks up to God rarely looks down at anyone.


~Circumstances may be outside of your control, but the way you respond to them is not.


~The best way to stop worrying is to start praying.


~Take time to find God in the small stuff. When you see God in the small stuff, your life becomes more meaningful.
~Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
There is so much more I want to tell you. I hope that you really think about the few messages above. I Love you 3L's so very much.~Mom

A little Hoodie Girl's birthday party......

Jillian turned 6 this past weekend and we got to celebrate with her at the YMCA. What a fun time the 3L's had at her swimming party. Lauren and Landry

Casey and Troy had a pretty good time too.....racing!
Not sure who was the winner was but Casey said on the way home he would have been faster if he had on his Michael Phelps speedo....yikes!



Sweet girls

Landry wanted to race Troy too!

The 3 Amigos
The little Hoodie gang (missing a few a members).


Everyday I look out at our neighborhood and feel so blessed to have our best friends right next door! God sure knew what he was doing when he moved us to this street. Jillian, we hope you had a wonderful birthday! We love you sweetheart.

"A family that plays together stays together"

is a quote I always heard growing up from my mom. My mom was a school teacher so she had many of these little tid bits to give. ha! This one has always stuck in my mind and I am glad it did. Like probably most families this time of year, we have been having lots of cabin fever at our house. Casey and I decided to join the 3L's and get bikes. This way we can all go for bike rides around the neighborhood. Whoever said "it is just like riding a bike, you never forget" was crazy! Landry and his McQueen bike from Santa
You can't miss these two with their flags.

A little "Guns Up" Texas Tech style bike riding.





3L's when you read this someday I hope you have fond memories of us playing together. Spending time with you is always fun!
