What a week!

We had a week full of family. Everyone was in good health and turned out to be a good week for everyone. My parents and sister arrived Wednesday night. Thursday the girls and grandma Ann headed for Fort Collins for a B-day shopping trip at ToysRus, lunch and a movie. Friday my parents, sister w/ her family went to boondocks for a round of mini golf, go carts and token games, topped off with a couple hours in the pool. Friday evening Aarons parents and sister arrived, completing the group party. Saturday morning Rylie was baptized, which happened to be her on her birthday. She was so excited, and we are so proud of her for her consistent decisions to make good choices and always striving to please those around her. It was very sweet baptism, Aaron was choked up though the whole thing, having to pause before each blessing. Rylie had LOTS of friends and family come and show their love and support. We headed back to the house for a BBQ, and then Ry wanted to go to the rec center for more swimming. My family left early Sunday morning, and we were able to enjoy the rest of Fathers Day with Aarons family.

Slumber Party...Success!

All evidence points in the same direction, I am getting old!! My oldest is turning eight on Saturday. My poor children have never had a birthday party that consisted of more than family...no friends, no themes, just cake and ice cream. I applaud all of you ambitious mothers, to much work for me! Instead the girls get a slumber party on their 8th, 12th, and 16th birthday. Seems like a compromise to me?? Anyway, we (I) just survived the first "party" Rylie said that it was better than she had hoped, that is all that matters, so I call is a success. It started with the slip n slide, then fingernail painting, make-up, pizza and a movie, cake decoration, sucking the frosting dry, and finally one last movie with plenty of junk food. Ry only had three friends over, and like I said the night was a success.

Summer Photo

I found a great place for pictures. I have been missing my spots back home, so it was fun to find something new. These are pictures for the grandma's mothers day frames. Mothers Day was a month ago, but it has been raining every evening for the last month. Not that I am complaining, the cool temps have been wonderful, I will only be so lucky for them to continue.

S.O.S 2009

Summer has arrived and so starts our second summer with the Summer of Service Club. I didn't have my camera for last weeks project, we helped assemble the summer reading prize coupons at the library and gave appreciation cookies to our librarians. This week we met at one of the neighborhood parks and pulled weeds. I love this program!

Cinnimon Rolls without frosting???

I don't know if it was a dream or what brought on the craving, but I had cinnamon rolls on the brain this morning. Not Pillsbury, or the flat ones from king soopers, but thick fresh cinnamon rolls with lots of frosting. I called Great Harvest, and yes they have cinnamon rolls. I drive 10 miles into town, but it going to be worth it right? OH they have cinnamon rolls alright, wheat with NO FROSTING!!! Who eats wheat cinnamon rolls without frosting, not to mention that they were 2.50 a piece!!! I didn't think I needed to ask, "Now do your cinnamon rolls come with frosting?" Maybe rasins or not, but frosting?? That is like asking if the hamburgers come with buns!!
