Try getting everyone smiling AND looking at the camera at the same time! That is banking on the impossible!
My boys!
All three
Me & my girl!
for the meantime...i thought some of you might enjoy a recent (not necessarily the best) pic of the kids. this involved me setting the baby on the bed so that i could get the boys in their jammies & as soon as they were dressed they climbed up to "snuggle" her & requested the taking of a picture!
I made one hour cinnamon rolls, but didn't have the chance to roll out all of them. So I covered up the dough, stuck it in the fridge, & left the house. However, my dough did not chill quicker than it rose!! I came home to this in my fridge! Too funny!
Tell me honestly...does it get any cuter than that!?!? Did you notice the shoes???
After Kacey and I decided to throw a BBQ for the handful of us who had nothing to do for the 4th, Daddy decided he didn't even want to spend it with us (he went to the cabin with his brothers). I am so mean I know, but I am just teasing him! Regardless we had fun. We ate some good food, hung out with good friends, and there were fireworks of course. The sparklers were about all Blaze could handle...he never has been fond of loud noises. I neglected to get a piture of all of us in our red, white, & blue, but at least we got Charlie's first 4th of July outfit at the last minute!
We had an open house for Charlie so that everyone could meet her. We had quite the spread and a pretty good turn out (thanks everyone who made it out...the thank you notes will be out sometime!). Charlie was quite the hit...happily being passed around (until she was hungry, of course)!
Can I just start by saying YUM!!! My friend set up a tour of Great Harvest Bread Co. our the kids. It was a lot of fun! First they learned a bit about the ingredients and machines used to make the breads. Then they each got a little piece of dough to shape that was then baked in the hugest oven that I had ever seen!! It holds something like 500 loaves of bread at a time! While their bread was baking, the tour guide (sorry I forget her name, but she was super cute and as sweet as candy!) read The Red Hen to the kids, during which we all got a slice of warm cinnamon-raisin bread (way too good for words). When all was said done they got a little activity packet to take home with their fresh bread packed inside! Thanks Britt, we had a blast!
