Tyson Hugh Hooper
Our son, Tyson Hugh Hooper, was born with coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic arch, and a transitional avsd. His first open heart surgery reconstructed his aorta and was on day 9 of life. His second open heart repair was not anticipated to be needed until two or three years of age. Ty had other plans. We spent the vast majority of his first 3 months of life at Vanderbilt as he went into heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. As a result, the medical team concluded that he needed the repair much sooner than usually recommended, and at just shy of 3 months old Ty underwent his second life saving open heart surgery. God has already worked so many miracles in Ty's life and the life of our family and we know he is using our story. Because of this, we are grateful for Ty's special heart and feel beyond blessed that God chose us to travel this road. We ask for prayers as Ty continues to heal. We are praying for a full recovery and life without restrictions for Ty. We are praying for God to use our family and Ty for His glory.

Thank you to each and every person who supports us through prayer, giving, or just by loving on our family! We are humbled and blessed by all of the ways the Lord is providing for us and know that he is using Ty and his story to do great things!

Pass the Crescent Rolls please....

With all the parties and socials and functions I have had over the past few weeks, I have made quite a few appetizers, snacks, and various other culinary creations.

I have SO MANY great recipes that use Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.... allow me to stop here and say - YUM!

Anyway, my latest trip to the store to get Crescent rolls for a yummy recipe brought a fabulous discovery! Do you have a recipe that has you unroll Crescent rolls and press the seams together? I have several recipes that require the dough to be cut into square or rolled up as one sheet like a jelly roll. I always get frustrated trying to press the seams together and get them to stick. Imagine my delight when next to the "original" (aka BEST) Crescent Rolls, I found "Pillsbury Crescent Rolls: Recipe Creations." That's right folks, the smart people over at Pillsbury now sell a roll of Crescent dough with no seams! YAY! Hello fun, yummy, and not-so-figure friendly recipes!!!!


This might be old news to some of you, but I was ecstatic (it doesn't take much) and I thought this would make a good, albeit unconventional, Tasty Tuesday post!
FYI, in my culinary adventures I have learned that all Crescents are not created equal... I'll stick with Pillsbury! :-)

Who would have thunk.... :-) LOL. Seriously - cresent rolls are the bomb - seams or not!! Nummo!

And really - you've NEVER heard of a "hot dish??" You're so sheltered. :-) You should try the HOT DISH - it's yummy....even if you're like my kids and just eat the tater tots...

LOL - HARDLY a champion! It's all good - in fact we're having a lot of fun. The only REALLY hard part is when Jack cries for daddy, then that makes me want to cry for him. :-) I really LOVE being home with them anyway and they have been really good thus far. With the snow though, I think we may go stir crazy by next week!
