Too darn cute......

I just can't stand it. This darling sweater was a birthday gift from our Aunt Mel. I think the pictures say it all.

We wish everyone could have an aunt like our Aunt Mel!

The Boy's First.....

Birthday Party! We celebrated The Boy's first birthday last week. Thanks to all the family who came! The Boy had fun playing with his cousins. He was a little cake-shy at the beginning, but I think once he realized mom wanted him to stick his hands in the cake he got the hang of it pretty quick!

Picture of The Boy on his actual b-day!

It is National Pie Day!

"National Pie Day is a special day that is set aside to bake and cook all of your favorite pies. On this day, you are also encouraged to bake a few new pie recipes.

And most importantly, it's a day to eat pies!" (Holiday Insights)

I thought I'd celebrate by baking an apple pie! Here are some not so good pictures, hopefully it tastes better than my pictures make it look.

And, of course we could not forget Jack Handey...
“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if not…mmmmm, boy!”

Fun with blocks!

Here is another video of The Boy. He loves building towers!

Sorry it is a little long, I am still trying to figure out our new technology!

Success!

After 9 months of trying to bake bread that even somewhat resembled that of my mother's, I think I almost came close. Monday night I pulled these beauties out of the oven. These are by far the best 5 minute bread loaves I have made. Pardon my bragging.

To see some really beautiful bread check out my mom's here. Go here for the recipe.
