Cory’s 33rd Bday
Tonight we headed out to Joe’s BBQ to cash in on Cory’s free birthday dinner. It was such a lovely evening to be outside. The boys gobbled up their food so they could run and play, and Cory and I enjoyed just sitting together and watching them burn energy.
I asked the boys what they love about their daddy. Caleb said, “Umm… his M&M’s.”
Noah said, “I love that he built me a huge swing set to play on.”
Feeling very blessed today to celebrate such a wonderful husband and father. We love you Cory!
December 2011
Guess I’m becoming one of those “once a month” bloggers. December was packed with family, travel, and my favorite, Christmas cookies. Here are some highlights!
Matchy Cousins Ready for Christmas
Disneyland at Christmastime
Christmas with Jeff and Jenna
Christmas with Grani and the Newkirks
Christmas with the Boys
(the one they had been wanting and wanting!)
Christmas with the Gransee’s
(so gross, but we love him anyway!)
A Happy New Years at the Cabin
Thanksgiving 2011
What a great day! We are blessed to be so close to both sides of our families, so we had a very full day of yummy food and giving thanks. I really love Thanksgiving.
This is what happens when you try to take a picture of all the little ones at the end on the night. Not so great! Next time I’m going to try to remember to take a group shot before they are all worn out!

Salad Smoothies
The boys have been asking for smoothies every day. They call them “salad smoothies” because I put a bunch of spinach in the blender when I make them. Even Lincoln likes them!
Cucumber Sandwiches
Pretty refreshing when it is so darn hot out. My favorite rendition is a sandwich thin or bagel with garden veggie cream cheese topped with thin slices of english cucumber and a sprinkle of dill.
