Corn!

I have to make this fast since it's pretty late and the kiddos and I are leaving bright and early for our trip to Utah. We roasted some corn in the oven to go along with our delicious dinner and the kids not only enoyed eating it but making hats out of the husks...see below!

Roller Skating & Day Camp

This past week Chandler and Carter attended Cub Scout Day Camp. They had lots of fun handling a bow and arrow, shooting a bb gun, swimming, fishing,... It was neat that they could go together and I hope they hold that as a special memory from their childhood. By the last day they were pretty worn out and ready to just plain veg!

With the oldest two at Day Camp we couldn't just sit at home and think about all the fun they were having outside in the heat and humidity !? So we decided to go roller skating and it sure brought back lots of fun memories. I remember doing the Hokey Pokey and Red Light, Green Light at Roller King in California. Dallin and Wesley had a great time and definitely want to go back. Bella was completely entertained by all the lights, kids, music,... She's quite the little dancer!

Bella Turns 1!

Bella's birthday party was last night. Usually Chris decorates the birthday cake but with his crazy schedule this past week the task fell into my hands. Now Chris is much more patient than I and my philosophy is as long as it tastes good the appearance isn't of utmost importance. Hence, his cakes are worthy of being displayed in a bakery window and mine...well you know who made it. But I had so much fun making a cake with pink and purple frosting and flowers and butterflies. I love my boys but it's so much fun having a girl! Bella has wrapped herself around all of our hearts and consequently gets her way almost all of the time. We love you Bella.
