Good Friends & Food

Tonight we had a cookout with a few friends. Chad cooked some burgers and I made beans (new recipe for me) and my all time famous banana pudding! I don't eat beans or banana pudding but everyone else seemed to LOVE them (well, they always love the pudding)! Every time I fix my 'naner puddin' (HA) I get asked for my recipe, so I thought I'd share it with the internet world. Dustin got to know Gunner very well, the 3 boys (Chad, Dustin, & Fernie) had a good time talking "L.E. chat", Drake had fun showing off in his walker and chasing Callie, and as always Hartley and I had a good visit; Mudder stayed on guard of us all on the front porch, I felt like I was leaving her out!
