Growing so fast!

She has the best little smile!

My little Bailee is growing just too fast. She's been sleeping through the night since she was 6 weeks old. It's been fantastic. I finally got her room organized and her bed made. Last night she slept in her own room for the first time. She is such a good girl. Hayden came into my room to tell Bailee good morning and only found an empty bassinet. He asked where she was and I told him she was a big girl and slept in her own bed. He asked where the next baby was to put in the baby bed. Um. The next baby.

Step 3 - Baking

Well, I think that we can all agree - I have 2 very good little bakers! They tasted pretty darn good! Nice job Logan and Zach!

Step 2 - The apples.

We picked the apples yesterday. Today, Zac washed them and then Logan and Hayden took over. Logan put them on the peeler, peeled them - Zac removed them cut them in half and removed the core from the peeler. Hayden would then hold down the lever that allowed Logan to pull the arm back. They really worked well together. Logan and Zac each layered their apples into the crust and spooned pie filling over each layer.

Step 1 - The Crust

The boys helped me make fresh apple pie today. It was a lot of fun. They mixed the shortening with the flour and salt. Then added water to make the dough into a ball. Zach held his up and said,"Is this good enough or does it have to be a perfect sphere?" Yes, he is Brian's son.

We love our family!

Kallee, Ashley, & Krista flew in Wednesday to attend the Keith Urban concert. We were lucky to be able to visit with them for a while and then go out to dinner. We sure wish we all lived closer! Grandma and Grandpa Andrew drove down and then flew to Vegas for a little while. It was super to see them too!

Pass the pliers and butter!

This is Brian's Alaskan catch -- actually purchased in Juneau and brought home. I think a shoe would taste good dipped in butter -- not as good as the crab. Crab isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. The boys had a great time. They really liked cracking it open.

While Daddy's away -- we went to play!

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Crump's house with Mary while Brian was in Alaska. We had a great time. Marc and I put baseboards in Mom's kitchen and dining room. While we did that, Amanda and Grandma took the kids to Albion to a really cool park and then to the dairy to see where milk comes from. The kids had a ball! I here there are some great pictures. I'll have to wait until Mom gets her latest purchase so she can burn me a cd.

Fishing with the boys at Doc Warner's

Brian had the chance to go fishing at Doc Warner's with Brad, Johnny and Uncle Stewart. I think they had a great time! You are fishing and not at work, right? They spent a lot of time fishing and not a lot of time catching but had a great time!
