Now he is a master chef!!

Parker found this hat in our dress up box and informed me that it is in the wrong place and it belongs in the kitchen. That is where it has been ever since. On Sunday we made bread and the hat was the first thing he grabbed. Isn't he so cute??

We love Visitors!!!

We don't live close to family and so we felt very lucky to have visitors this last week. My Grandparents came into town and spent some time with us.

Parker found a new lego buddy. He had my Grandpa build a huge house with most of his legos. He loved it!!! Every time he came over Parker would always ask him to help build the house. Parker sure had fun!! (not sure about my Grandpa??)

Jeff and I got to go to Lubbock with them and go to the temple. For those of you who don't know it is 2 hours away and we had a great visit there and had a great time at the temple. This was the first time I had been back since I had Addison. Gotta love it when your nursing, you have a sidekick for a very long time. Then on the way back we scored a huge juicy watermelon for $2. It was yummy!!!


We wished they could have stayed longer but we sure did enjoy having them visit. Thanks for visiting, I know the kids loved it and Jeff and I sure had a great time.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to spending time with my grandparents, who are in town, tomorrow my plans include going to the temple (the first time since Addison was born, yeah!!!)and Sunday, I want to make bread!

Addison turns one

So a year has come and gone and it has been a pleasure to have her around. There is only a few things that I wish I could stop with kids and that is that they stop growing up so fast. I look her now and I don't see my baby anymore, I am starting to see a toddler. What happened to my baby?? We had lots of fun for her birthday. I made her a little piggy cake (kind of appropriate because she gets a whole cake to herself). She was so cute with it. (Parker just liked the little piglets, the cupcakes). She wanted a spoon and then was not sure about the frosting in her fingers. She really didn't eat that much and was not as dirty as I thought she was going to be and didn't get much on the floor. (yeah!!!) She LOVED the balloons. Her and Parker had a great time playing with them. At first she was a little nervous, but then joined in on the fun. She also LOVED the gifts we got for her. She got a little bike to scoot around on and also some books. Each book she pulled out of the bag she sat down and read it, it was cute. She LOVES books!!! The little bike took a her a moment to figure out, but once she figured out that she could push it around she got so excited. She did get a little confused and likes to sit on it backwards. It was a fun little party!!

Memories

I remember when I was a kid and we would travel to Arizona and my grandma would make these cookies. I could never get the recipe out of her. They were always known as her famous "Cowboy Cookies." Well I finally got the recipe and had a great time making them with my kids. They were so excited for them to come out of the oven, they both stood there and had a good time. I couldn't help but snap this picture. They were a big hit and brought back a lot of memories!! I am just glad that now I can pass the recipe on to my kids and make memories with them!!

TGIF

1. I feel like I am missing Fall.

2.Making cookies with kids, is always fun.

3. Right now, I can hear these things:Jeff on the phone, my air-conditioner making this crazy noise (should I be concerned??), and Addison getting so excited because she just learned how to get on the couch.

4. Hot weather is almost gone and I'm glad it doesn't last all year long.

5. The last time I saw my sister was 3 years (WAY TOO LONG!!!).

6. Going to Balmoreah this Labor day weekend.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Dinner at Fuddruckers, tomorrow my plans include Yardwork and Sunday, I want to do digital scrapbooking!

We should be worried!!!!

Jeff has informed me about some very disturbing info and I thought that I would share this info with those that read our blog. Obama will be doing a national address directly to students in public school on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. You can read more about it on the Fox News website here. You can also read more about it here. I am only writing this so that you can be aware. I don't know how you feel about what the president is trying to accomplish with his "change" of our country. Please go and read the articles and be aware of what is happening with your children. Michelle Malkin says it best "…parents have every right to worry about their children being used as Political Guinea Pigs for Change."
