O Happy Day!




Yes it is a happy day at the Hackney household. Last weekend Dusty's parents brought us a surprise from our hometown. Our favorite pizza joint back in Illinois, Dimaggio's, has started bottling and selling their sauce! We've found some good pizza here, (the pepperoni breadsticks from So Itailian are hard to beat) but nothing quite as good as Dimaggio's. So I made a pizza tonight with the sauce that my in-laws brought me. All I can say is "Mmmmmmmm"! OK, so maybe it's not quite like having a pizza hot from Dimaggio's, but it was pretty stinkin' good. I even raised the bar a bit. Instead of the crust from the mix, I made it from scratch. (Using the bread machine of course) Now I'll have to stock up every time we go back to Illinois to visit family.








And now in the way too cute category - I took photos today at the Brockelsby's. They had a couple of kittens. Rachel loved them! Especially this little guy. He would just lay in her lap and let her pet and cuddle him.

This is my dad signing a permission slip for me for the last time. This was for a youth group trip and I was turning 18 soon after. But you've gotta love the early 90's hair!

I love these old pictures of you and Uncle Donnie. Brings back some memories of us all growing up! I like this idea maybe I need to do this of my Mom and Dad. I am sure I can find some good ones too!! By the way, when are you guys going to be in Illinois. I wish we could find a time this summer when we could all get together at Grandpas.
