Birthday's & Lil' Buckaroos
It may take a while for your browser to load all the pictures. I have a lot! It’s always a lot of fun for me to plan my kids’ birthday parties. I especially like themes. This was Justus’s first birthday party where we invited friends over to help him celebrate so he was pretty excited. I get a lot of ideas from browsing the web but probably my most favorite site for planning birthdays is Birthday Party Ideas. Who would have thought? Most of the ideas I used for Justus’s party, if not all, came from that site. This cake was so simple but fun. I used these figures from…

Will Catch Up With You Later
Justus’s cowboy party was a lot of fun but we’re spending Memorial Day (which snuck up on me) with some friends that came up to visit. No menus planned for this week, either. Enjoy today remembering the price that was paid for our freedom. Copyright 2009 Treasuring the Moments

It was probably this poor kids first time riding a sheep and she gets this… (She was perfectly fine when she got up.) This bull rider was de-ter-mined!

Like this past week when he asked , "Can we have some Haagen Dogs?" (ice cream, should have been Haagen Dazs) Driving down the road several months ago, Justus asked me to give him some math questions. "Okay," I said. "You have 1 frog and mommy gives you 1 more. How many do you have?" "That’s puny. I mean questions like 6+6." That same trip Justus seemed like he was going to vomit. Thinking he was going to and knowing it would be a big mess since he had no…

Tackle It Tuesday #157
This week I finally made bread – 20 loaves. I have been procrastinating this for months. I usually like to make only 10 at a time – any more than that and it seems as if the whole process drags on too long. I decided to make the extra since I was going to give away a few loaves and our family seems to be devouring a lot of bread lately. Here is the recipe I use. I don’t have it perfected – it’s a bit crumbly. It’s definitely not sandwich bread worthy but it does make a delicious toast. 14 Grain Bread Use your Bosch mixer if you have one. …
