I can't believe my little girl is 10 already. Her birthday celebrations were spread out over a few days. She chose chili dogs & chocolate cake for her birthday dinner & dessert- which we did over the weekend so that more family members could be around & because we had more time. A few days later was her real birthday so we had pizza & went to a park (it was a school day, so there wasn't much time to do the big celebration). Her presents have still been trickling in through the mail too. What could be better than a week-long birthday celebration?!
"Yaaaaawwwwwwnnn...reading just makes me so tired..."
Yes, I take an obscene amount of photos. Bodi turned 2 the other day, so we had a small family get-together for him. Tradition is that I make the kids' favorite dinner & they choose what kind of cake/dessert they want...but...since we don't really know Bodi's favorite yet, I chose chef salad & banana splits. (I mean I did all the work 2 years ago anyway, right?). He loved it & had a great time with the balloons, as you can see.
"Hmmm...these grapes are absolutely superb for my grandfather's wine..."
We are sooooooo glad to be back where there are endless outdoor activities. This is a park by where we live. There are acres of beautiful trees, a stream with bridges going over it, trails, and play areas. We even got about 10 feet away from some deer, although I didn't take a picture because I didn't want to disturb them.
This is a beautiful lake by where we live now. The weather has been consistently warm, but the water is freezing! Landon found something disgusting (as he usually does)- I don't know if it's sea weed or fish eggs or frog egg- blech!
