Rolls

1. Everyday life
I am so grateful that I am able to stay home everyday with the boys (at least most days). As they grow up I watch them learn and grow. We play outside, run errands, take naps, eat treats, and just live a great life. Here are some pictures of snack time around the dining table. I am not quite sure how it happened. I gave the boys apples in the afternoon last week. Cameron climbed up onto a chair and just started eating. Owen followed. Then I decided that I couldn't be left out of the party. Here are a few quick pictures from our short snack time.

(Yes....I had apple all over the table.)

3. Babies

This is a picture from Catherine's shower. Baby W is due SOON. Very grateful that they live so close. I have a feeling we will be having LOTS of play dates together.

**** I think that I am allowed to post this news, and trust me, it is exciting. Ashley is PREGNANT. yay!!! Now I just need to find time and see her to give her a congratulations hug!

3. Chicago

Last week Mat and I took a quick trip to Chicago with Amy and Patrick. It was great to get out of the house and not have to worry about chores. Here is a photo from an afternoon Cubs game and guess what...they WON.

3. The GREATS

I made a trip, with the boys, to Valpo before going to Chicago last week. I can say that this was the best trip yet. I was actually able to spend quality time with my grandparents, I wasn't exhausted from day to day life, and I really enjoyed my time. The boys enjoyed the cars and trucks.....it was just great. Period. This first picture is us waiting for Greg to get the boys. They were EXHAUSTED. I think that they really enjoyed it too!

4. Baking

Last week I decided to bake cinnamon rolls. As many know...LOVE me some cinnamon rolls. Anyways, I didn't really read the complete recipe to full understanding. So I ended up using 9 cups of flour. Yes. 9. So to show my mom...here is how much dough I made.

And here is one (of the many) pans of rolls that I made. They were wonderful and now my freezer is full of the treats. I loved every minute of making them by scratch. (well besides taking the boys for a quick trip to Kroger to buy more flour)

5. Same room

This title means....yes....the boys are in the SAME room again. The two nights went okay. I was still nervous to let someone cry in the middle of the night for fear of waking his brother.

They will stay in the same room for the next few years. My hope is that they enjoy being together. Now I need to organize and decorate.
