I made this for dinner and this for dessert!


I made this yummy parmesan chicken. It was a recipe from Family Circle. So easy and really good tasting. I got this dessert recipe from my little Kroger coupon booklet that came in the mail last week. Yummy! Both were really easy to make.

Goodie bag


I made this for Kate's class. They are goodie bags for her classmates. They were easy to make.

Water-Skiing kids



Hunter attempting to water ski, he is getting the hang of it. Brooke stayed up for a while and so did Alex. Alex did take some good falls.

What? Grandpa let you drive his Corvette?



Grandpa was very brave in letting Alex drive his Corvette. He enjoyed driving around. Grandpa was actually the first brave one to let Alex drive. He drove his van. He is getting better each time.

Happy 15th Alex!




Alex turned 15 on Aug. 13th and that means 2 things - He now can drive the golf cart on his own and he gets a permit. He takes the golf cart to seminary and to school. He loves his freedom. He has also driven the car a few times. That will take lots of practice.

First day back to School






Alex, Brooke and Hunter went back to school on Aug. 10th. Kate went to her first day of school on Aug. 24th. I think the kids are liking school. Kate loves hers and asks everyday if she is going to school. She goes 2 days a week.

Alex - No more fun


We arrived at the beach on Sat. afternoon. Alex enjoyed skim boarding and playing in the water until Tues. afternoon when he fell skim boarding. Jeff took him to a "stand-alone" ER and they gave him a splint. They didn't have casting stuff. So he got pity from the girls at the beach. He came home Sat. and on Mon. Jeff took him to get his cast. He will wear it for 2 weeks and then go back to a splint. Unfortunately, he will miss river rafting here but will hopefully be able to go in Wy and ride 4 wheelers carefully. Least it's not the whole summer.

Memory Lane - Hunter's Birthday





Happy Happy Birthday Hunter!


Happy Birthday Hunter! I remember back at his birth . . . It was Memorial Weekend and I had to go to the hospital and have my contractions stopped. I was there 2-3 days on magnesium. He wasn't due until July 4th. They sent me home with a pill I had to take every 4 hours so that I wouldn't go into labor. I took my last pill on June 11th. That Mon. I went to Target with Brooke and got some things we needed "nesting" and on the way home I was feeling contractions. We got up to the hospital, broke my water and delivered him within 2 hours after arriving. He could not wait to get into this world. He is a joy to have in our family. I can't believe that he is 9. Time goes by so fast.

Garden Update





Okay, I have been checking our garden every couple of days. Wow, these veggies are growing fast. The first thing I picked was a green pepper. It was yummy in dinner the other night. I went back today and had all these to pick. 2 of the zuchinni are 9 inches long. Can't wait to eat them.
