Just a Random Night......

Randy was out playing a gig one night a couple weeks ago ( I think it was), and I think Momo and Ian were out with friends as well. Anyway, it was just Ian, Kristen and I at home and Kristen asked to cook some supper for us. Here is Ian just being silly while waiting for his food to be cooked......







Kristen decided on chicken fingers and seasoned potato wedges. Here she is preparing the taters...


and flouring the chicken fingers.
She used some Italian dressing and some other seasonings for the taters, and then put them in the oven to broil.

The chicken fingers frying.....
Kristen did a great job cooking and it was very yummy!! We ate them all up!! She has made the taters for us all again since that night so I guess that is her first "special" recipe"!! I am planning on having her do more cooking and other household things as a home economics elective for the new school year.

PLAY DOUGH!!



We spent all day Tuesday out and about. First was the last MOPS meeting of the year. That is always fun. Then we ran some errands and went to visit our friends the Carpenters for a little bit. After about an hour and a half there, we headed to Sams Club for groceries. We had to stop at Kroger for a few things and then pick Randy up from work. We finally made it home around 6:30. Wednesday morning we decided to make play dough!! The kids had a great time and loved making it. We made a batch to take to our neighbors across the street too! Sara came over to help us.


















Where to start???

Once again, I am so very behind on blogging. I guess I can use the excuse that we finished up our school year and have just been relaxing. That is true to a certain extent. We did finish and we have been enjoying days of doing whatever but we have had lots of fun! I am going to try to get all the bazillion pictures posted tonight. Let's see....we have been baking bread pretty regularly now. The last time we baked, Kristen also made some homemade granola for us. It was really yummy!! Here she is stirring the ingredients. Ian was helping.

Mixing......

Lil'Rob just being silly!

And Aaron being silly too! He was trying out some sunglasses Momo had made in Sunday School the day before.


Aaron made cinnamon rolls while we were working on bread.


He also made the loaf of whole wheat bread too!


The granola is all done!! She was proud of herself!


We also had some sad news that week. One of our cousins(my mama's first cousin, Danny) passed away due to brain cancer. He had been battling it for almost 2 years. Here are my brothers and I before we left for the funeral. The sun was very bright, hence the squinted eyes!


The boys wanted to pose for pictures too when we took ours.





Now just some random pics of us hanging out at home.



Traded spots .....

A pretty rose on one of my rose bushes.

I am not sure what was so funny!

Maggie enjoying the warm days too.







We have really enjoyed a special treat in our backyard. There is a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers that have nested in the trees in our backyard. Every afternoon for the past few weeks, they come out searching for grubs in the grass. I was able to get up close one day and snapped these pictures of them.





That is all for this post but I have more to come!!

Random pics...Little Chef and Mama

Just a couple random pics from last week. We were making pancakes for dinner one night. Ian was helping me mix them up!



Aaron took this one of me, I look a lot like my mama in this picture!

Just me and the little ones!
