Seth turned 6 on March 6th, so we had a party weekend to celebrate!
We made Spongebob cookies
We played kickball
We opened and played with presents
we grilled good food
We had a fire and made yummy smores
We had ultra yummy desserts
We posed for pictures...some more than others(good thing Cody doesn't read the blog, or he'd order me to take this off...hahaha)!!
The weather was warm and beautiful, so it was a perfect weekend for a party!
Happy 6th Birthday to Sethie!!
My attempt at being Martha. It was my first time working with royal icing. I guess taking that cake decorating class gave me more confidence with the confections. They were very time consuming but fun to do. I really want to try another cookie design...maybe birthday or graduation.
We have a new driver in the house, and I couldn't be happier. It's amazing how much freedom one more driver lends to my schedule.
Good job Casey at taking pictures, since I was sick and couldn't - It's not something either of them enjoy, but they knew it was something I wanted.
Congratulations driver #4!
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, and again, and again....I LOVE the beach. It is one of my most very favorite places to be. The minute I walk out onto the sandy shore, I am at peace with the world. My troubles and cares dissipate, and I am happy.
I was so excited when Andy and Janelle invited us to come along on a weekend trip to Savannah. We were all going to go but a few had prior engagements, so Ryan and I were the lucky ones who were able to ride along.
Although temperatures were very cold that weekend, it was still fun to be able to enjoy everything Savannah/Tybee had to offer:
Beautiful scenery
Fresh seafood
Sweet treats
And great company.
It was a wonderful weekend at the beach - The 1st of 2013, and we hope for many more to come!
No, it isn't strawberry season. Not for a few more months will strawberries be ripe,ready, and in season. It doesn't seem to matter how hard I try and how much jam I make each year, I always come up a few months short. I guess next year I'll have to monitor it better. I bought some Smuckers Strawberry jelly a few weeks ago when it was on sale, hoping that it would tide us over. No such luck. Nobody would touch it. Poor Ryan has stopped asking for his PBJ's. They are his favorite, but it just isn't the same. So, I caved. I went to Publix and purchased $20.00 worth of their 2 for $5.00 sale and made a few batches to tide us over.
Shhhhh, don't tell Casey.
No, I'm not the practical one, but Ryan will be SO HAPPY!
WARNING:
to anyone that comes over to our house and parks on our grass for any considerable amount of time(Andy & Janelle), and in which I(mom) need to back out, should probably consider parking elsewhere.
So sorry Kaitlyn, I'm just too old for late-night ice cream runs.
