Caleb, The Grasshopper

Caleb finished his soccer season with a 7-1 record.  The experience was what you would expect of 4 year olds playing soccer in an "Organized League".   So proud of him!

Making Cheddar...

In my sporadic cheese making career, I've just attempted farmhouse cheddar.  With great results, this will be in the permanent rotation.  

My new cheese press!!  Thank you boys!

 

Cheddar!!!

 

Camping Like Old Times...

...But with new people.  My family had a camping reunion with a good portion of the new kids in the family.   Even with off and on rain, we managed to have some good times and make some good memories.  Can't wait to do it again with more family!

Adam loves jumping off rocks.  That's all he wanted to do.

 

Nothing like eating off a campfire...Lamb!

 

Vacationing in Alabama

For their 40th wedding anniversary, Chris' parents wanted to take a trip with the whole family.  We found a rent house in north Alabama that was about the same drive distance for all.  We spent a week eating fantastic food, checking out some beautiful views, hiking, swimming, and fishing all while soaking up some great family time.

Our Cabin...beautiful.

Easter 2014

The Easter Bunny AND the Tooth Fairy visited us on the same night!  Adam decided he was ready to put 2 teeth (he's been saving them) under his pillow to see if he could get a $2 bill.  He must have been a very good boy because the Tooth Fairy came through in a pinch, but left a note saying this was a one-time thing for a very special boy!  Both boys were very excited Easter morning when they discovered the bunny had come and their baskets were full of treats!  Adam got the Scooby Doo/WWE movie he's been wanting and Caleb got the Kane (WWE) action figure he's been wanting.  Guess the Easter Bunny knew this was a house that was full of wrestling fans. 

 

 

 

 

My pictures never turn out like the ones on Pinterest!  Apparently those kids don't squint and whine!
