Dad's banana coconut cream pie

This was super easy (and i guess not too impressive).

store bought graham cracker crust
banana pudding
sweetened coconut (toasted) (2 c.)
banana slices
home made whipped cream

I mixed most of the toasted coconut in with the pudding, saving some for the top. I put a layer of bananas on the bottom. And piped some extra whipped cream along the crust.

This was actually pretty fun to make cuz i just kinda made it up, and it turned out pretty well.

Latest Ebay purchase

I really got lucky with these pair of London Sole ballet flats. I won them for like $60.00. Which is so good for shoes that ushually retail from like $175- $200. I think this is like my 7th pair of London sole / French sole shoes I've gotton off ebay. They are cut so well and the shape is so perfect, and you can totally tell the difference from like just a pair of ballets flats you pick up from the mall. These look expensive and very dainty.

I've been wearing them for years and I'm still in love with them. A good ballet flat seriously goes with anything. And if you get a black pair you really get your money's worth because you can wear them even more, without ever looking boring or the same. I'm pretty sure French sole and London sole are they same company? I not positive.

These pair are super cute with leopard print and gold piping/ bow in front. I can't wait to wear them with my black skinny jeans, and like a cute simple tank top.

American flag cake

This is the cake i made to bring to Allegra's 4th of July party. I wasnt sure of the theme, something like white trash/ gross stuff? I dont know, we drank PBR and Peter brought macaroni salad in a carton. I thought a cake decorated like the flag would fit right in. I must say, it was pretty good. But then again, everything
is delicious when your drunk.

Vanilla cake (from a mix)
cream cheese frosting (cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar)
rasberries
blueberries

First thing that makes me happy is my puppy. We got him on easter. He was born Feb. 9th, and is pomeranian (well 1/4 long hair chihuahua, which i found out yesterday). My sister named him Gunner. Im really bad at naming pets. But we ushually call him baby gun. Which is a crazy name but whatevs. Here he is with Grandma and chris the day we got him. He looks like a little snowflake angel cuddly teddy bear...
