The Things We Do

Cooking, Cooking, Cooking

I have been trying a lot of new recipes and after making 3 pumpkin pies in 2 weeks, I have found a great recipe. Making pies out of real pumpkin and not the can made me feel like a pro :) I tried making a chicken bake like the one's from Costco. It was good, but not as good as Costco. How I wish the nearest one was not over an hour away :( We went to a super fun ward activity at an apple orchard where they made fresh apple cider. We finished one gallon in 2 days!

Happy 6th Birthday To Stacie!

                   Stacie Turned 6 On September 28!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter Stacie! From a 5 1/2 hour labor to now being 6 years old! Time has gone by so fast. We sure love you Stacie!

 She wanted a blue and pink cake for her birthday.



  My mom got Stacie these flashing light things and Grant LOVES them. He just wandered around the whole time playing with them.

 Yay, Stacie is finally 6! She loves my little pony and everyone spoiled her and got her so much stuff. Aunt Fran got her over 10 My Little Pony Things!

 Grant Just wandering around the room waving his lights.

  

 

 Stacie got excited and blew out the candles as soon as Daddy put the cake on the table. We were only halfway through the Happy Birthday song.

  We are so happy it is her birthday. We had driven the 2 hours to Redmond the night before so Stacie could play with her cousins on her birthday. Adam had to stay home because he was doing the big move for work, so we drove back home on her birthday to be with Daddy.

The Most Amazing Aunt Ever!

I was looking through some old pictures and came across this one that Adam's Aunt Vicki did for us. All of the kids dressed up as fairies and Cameron, being the only boy at the time, was the fairy catcher. At first we tried to get them to all sit in the picture at the same time. After 5 minutes of that we realized it was NOT working. So, Vicki took the pictures one by one and then photoshopped them all into it. It looks so good. What a wonderful picture for us to have. Thank You Vicki Shell you are amazing!

Grant Goes Down The Slide

Yay Stacie is going to go down the slide with me!

 

 Whoa, hey Stacie wait for me.

Hey, you left without me!

Ahh, Oh it's ok I got this, I can do it.

Whoa, whoa, I don't got this, ahhhhh.

 I'm ok, I'm ok.

 Yep, here I come.

 I made it!

Stacie's Bird Nest

We went to the park and Stacie started to collect sticks. She always collects sticks, rocks, acorns, leaves and pine cones. She wanted to make a birds nest out of the sticks. When we got home I got out the glue gun and we put together a nest. Stacie had me make a sign so the birds would know it was for them.

The sign says "Birds please come in and birds you will find some food"

Stacie Is Starting Kindergarten

Stacie on Orientation Day. We went and met her teacher Mrs. Reynolds and sat in the classroom and looked around the school. Grant stood in the middle of the room, crouched down and very loudly filled his diaper, stinking up the entire room. She is really excited to start school on friday. She will go from 7:55am to 10:40am. I just have to make sure I don't cry in front of her. I am going to miss her!

Happy Anniversary

August 13, 2013 Adam and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary! We took the kids to the lake and sat and held hands and watched our beautiful children swimming. I am so happy that I have this man for time and all eternity.
