4th Annual Mommy/Daughter Pedicure outing

Miss Gracelyn and I have been doing this I pretty sure 4 years already - during our weekend stay at the cabin over the 4th of July - Gracie and I go and get pedicures.

SOOOO. MUCH. FUN.

Gosh I am glad I have one girl out of the bunch! 

This year we opted to have the same color and design. We match. So cute. 

Mohawk

This is what happens when you let your little boy stay for an overnight with his best bud/cousin Joe.

See Joe has a mohawk, so of course Zach wants one.

Pretty soon I get a text message from Auntie Shelly, "can we give Zach a mohawk to match Joe??"

me: "ummm, not sure. I don't think so:

Shelly:  "ahh, come on, it will be cute!"

me:  call to Marty... discussion...

me: Call to Shelly - Umm, I guess so, but tell Zach it will only be for the weekend!

And then....

It's mohawk time!

And the influential Cousin/Zach's BFF: Joe

Then it the weekend is over and we are back home... and by by mohawk.

Hello bald Zach!!!

Such adventures :)

Summer Cabin Fun

Isaiah first time eating

Almost 7 months old... so we figured time to take the plunge and try to feed this little guy.

The food: banana

Does he like it: Not so much!!!

He got a little in his month though, probably more on his bib :)

Oh the adventures to come.

Isaiah 7 months

Ahh, this guy... just can't get any cuter!! Gosh I love him, Little Isaiah Joseph Elmer!

Rhubarb Cake

A few months back, I believe it was in May, me and my boys joined forces and set off to bake a Rhubarb cake.  See my Zachy, he loves to help me bake things in the kitchen. Jared he is starting to catch on too, and then my little Isaiah, well he is to young to know yet, if he is gonna be my kitchen helper, but I think their is a good chance!  This was on a Monday that my Princess Gracelyn was in school. So it was just me and my boys, at home, in the kitchen. SO. MUCH. FUN.

Ok, rhubard all cut up...

Rhubarb added to the rest of the ingrediants... and the big mixer ready to mix...

And proud Zach spreading out the batter

And adorable Isaiah helping the best he can... being happy and watching intently!

 

Not sure why Jared is crying here, but that is usually how it goes - we have some giggles, so good times, then a good cry, then back to having fun, and enjoyment!

And here we are the pan of Rhubarb cake all ready for the oven.

 

Gosh this little guy is cute!!!

If I remember correctly it tasted really, really good!!!!

Dance Recital May 2014

 

A post that is way past due again... but these are pictures from Gracelyn's final dance recital of the year.

This was back in May. She was BEAUTIFUL!

It was a busy weekend with practice Friday evening, pictures Saturday afternoon, performance Saturday evening and another performance Sunday afternoon!

It was fabulous. She really enjoys dance.
