Let them eat…CAKE!

admin | May 25, 2009

What is it about the baby’s first birthday that brings on a parental directed, sugar induced coma? I have no idea, but it sure is something I look forward to each time I get close to a first birthday. Brogie didn’t disappoint. Check out his first birthday cake (click on the pictures [...]

A New Sandbox

admin | May 25, 2009

Given his overwhelming love for digging in our garden (read: pulling out our plants) Brogie’s birthday present from us was a new sandbox.  Our hope is that he loves digging in this so much that it will take the place of the garden (so our veggies can grow)!  Everyone is really excited to have a [...]

Brogie’s Gorilla walk

Emmy tries so hard to show respect.  Her heart is in the right place, she just CANNOT seem to get that ladies are “ma’am” and men are “sir”  We were coming home in the van tonight, when I gave the instructions, “When you get into the house, go straight up to your room [...]

Sara Beth Bows is doing another contest for some darling summer bows. So head over there and enter and don’t forget to mention that I sent you!  She does great work – here is a picture of my little bow wearer showing off the bow that we bought for Easter. (OK, not a great [...]

Strawberry Picking

admin | May 12, 2009

Seven sassy siblings skip in the strawberries, stocking baskets, slipping in sludge, slurping sweet slushies, sucking syrupy goodness, and sweating in the sunlight.  Such success!

We came home and made 12 jars of jam from the strawberries that we picked, as well as chocolate covered strawberries for [...]
