Camp Out!

Tonight is Fathers and Sons Camp-Out. This is an annual event in our home. Gary goes off with Thys while me and the girls are home to enjoy a girlie night to ourselves. Everybody wins. :) Tonight we are going to hang out with our Girlie Cousins and Aunts and Grandma.

The plan is to watch chick flicks and eat smoothies. Perhaps Audrey Hepburn is on the movie menu but I am bringing "Pride and Prejudice" just in case that doesn't work out along with some other fav's too. I think we need to paint our nails and bring some chocolate. That will make the night perfect.

Model Mode

Handmade by Mom!After making six children's outfits for the YW's fundraiser. I managed to sew one for each of my cutie-pies. They were so excited to wear them the night of the fundraiser (to help promote the ones up for auction). I told them they were modeling mommy's homemade clothing line. Each one is an original and I think they love them.

Crafton Hills Conservancy
Two weeks ago we finally went on a light hike for FHE. The College Loop Trail is perfect for the kids. The sun was setting, the hills were green and the view was amazing. We had a great time and topped it off with a Popsicle treat afterwards.
These are wild flowers!
Nice air quality!
Let's take a moment to reflect :) Happy Hikers!!!

Something Tasty!

Anyone hungry for a yummy snack? There have been a few friends who have asked for this recipe. I got it from Nola and she got it from Kelli.

So enjoy the tasty........

Artichoke Heart Dip
2 large cans of Artichoke Hearts (drained and chopped)
1 cup Mayo (I use Best Foods)
1 large clove of Garlic (the more the better)
1/2 tsp Salt

Mix together and bake in a casserole dish for 20 minutes @ 350 degrees.

It goes great with specialty bread, crackers and fresh veggies.
I couldn't tell if it is low fat :0)

Can you do the Bunny Hop?

Hip Hop! The Bunny has come to stay. The Easter Bunny sent us on a treasure hunt and the treasure was this little ball of fuzz.
This is Lulu everyone and she is a new member of our family.
The children are very excited to have a pet that they can hold and love... maybe a little too much luv'ns sometimes. Daddy on the other hand wasn't too pleased! But the damage is done. hee, hee!
