August Fun!

A Very Unhappy Birthday to You!

Ever see Alice in Wonder Land...?

On the 15th it was my mother-in-laws birthday. So for her party she decided to turn it into a birthday party for the kids. She got a pinata and filled it with candy, bought each of the kids presents and even sang happy birthday to them. The kids thought this was so great. They thought that nana was kidding at first until she broke out all the gifts and pinata! Ben thought it was so cool and said we should do this everyday.Papa setting up the Horse Pinata

Thomas wasn't sure if he should hit it or just poke it.

Quade's Turn!
Scott had to stop him a few times because he was swinging the bat like crazy!

Ben broke open the Pinata!
With three hard swings!

So I went to the eye doctor and came home with these really stylin shades! Ben saw them siting out and with enthusiasm said " Mom where did you get these sunglasses! They are so cool!", I told him where I got them and told him he could have them. He was so excited and replied "These are so Awesome! I am going to look so cool in these! These are the best sunglasses I ever had..Thank you so much! " And for the rest of the day until they broke he never took them off.

Quades shirt says " I am defenitly up to Something" And he was. I had filled up this pool for the dog and 2 sec. later he was naked from the waist down peeing in the pool and then swimming in it. I really didn't care to much since it was so hot, but I did make him put his underwear back on. He is always running around completely naked or with just a shirt on. He will not keep the clothes on!

More Baking!

So the other night my friend Theresa came over and we made Cinnamin Rolls!

They were soo good! I ate two of them that night and two the next morning. Usually I am not that fond of sweets. But I could not resist these! The were all gone in three days!

At the begining of the month I helped set up and decorate for Anders and Cindy Petersons wedding reception. I was away from home a few hours everynight for a week, leaving Scott in charge of all three boys. That is a rare ocassion for him usually I always have one of them with me. It was alot of fun and a nice break to have from the kiddo's.

I also learned how to make and can Peach Jam with my sister-in-law Denise, thanks to the help of a friend. Growing up my mom was always canning things..but of course I never payed too much attention to it. It was so much fun and a lot of work! Now I have several jars of jam to last me for quite somtime. And it is so good! I have never tried peach jam before and I am definitly now a fan..I could drink the stuff.

So now you seen and read some of the things that we have been up to this month!
