Soakin Up the Sun


We had a nice 90 degree day, so we packed up a picnic lunch and headed over to Bear Creek Lake to swim and relax:) Sarah and her kiddos joined us and we had a fun time!

Ella and her friend Elijah!

All the kids!

Me and Sarah




Elijah loved eating the sand.

Sibling Love

Elijah just LOVES Ella and since they share a room, naptime can be quite interesting and frustrating. Often, I hear shrieks of laughter coming from behind closed doors and this is what I find- Oh my... The first few time sit was cute and funny bit not any more and Elijah and Ella know they are NOT allowed to "play" while they should be napping!







The twins LOVE to be "mommy" to Elijah. They carry him around the house, try to feed him, play with him and read to him. Here is Arianna reading to Elijah - he loves all the attention!

Too Cute for Words






The Close of Soccer


The Blue Butterflies season is over. Since they do not keep score, I have no idea who won or what there record was- pretty sure they came in last:) All of them were playing for the first time and usually played teams where the kids were older.

Arianna

Sophia

Ella needed one too:)

Sophia learned how to do thumbs up this season. Whenever she kicked the ball, she would turn and give us the thumbs up- she never ran with the ball because she was always watching to see if we were watching her:)

Sophia and Arianna always get a bit tired near the end and drag their feet when its their turn to go in! I dont think soccer stars are what they are meant to be(at least not yet)- maybe in a few years. Its so funny because they stay at least 4 feet away from the ball and follow it all over the field but they dont kick it- who knows! They are proud that they run though!

Its cute to watch...

We celebrated the end of the season at Coach Steve's house. We had a nice picnic and the kids enjoyed playing in the sandbox and on the swingset. The girls got medals which they cannot stop talking about- they think they got them because they won:)

Pizza Creations


Martha Stewart I am not but I do love this pizza recipe that my dear friend Christine passed along to me. I used to make it when we were first married and then I stopped but now that I need cheap and yummy meals, I went back to it! and it really is easy!
I love to load my pizza with veggies while Mark likes meat.
I really and truly think I could be a vegetarian. I LOVE veggies and all that weird stuff vegans eat- like hummus and pita, artichokes,etc. Not really sure about tofu yet! (Although I DO love fish and need to have a good filet mignon about every 6 months or so. )
Anyway, here is the super easy recipe if you want to try it:
1 packet yeast
Add 1 cup WARM water and mix
Add 1 egg yolk
Add 1/2 tsp salt
Add 2 cups of flour- mix on low speed
Keep adding flour till dough can be kneaded with hands
Knead dough till soft and pliable
Put in bowl and cover- let rise about an hour or a half- in a warm place
Roll out and top with yummy veggies and cheese and sauce
Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes- Its so good!

The crust doesnt really get brown- maybe brush with egg yolk and it would?
