{Indoor S'mores}

We tried making S'mores outside, but the fire wasn't hot enough.  So we went to plan B, the oven.  I have to tell you - they were delicious.  We ate them ALL! 

So first, we put the chocolate on the bottom half of the S'more.  I popped these into the oven for just a minute to get the chocolate soft. 

Then, I took the top half of the S'more, and put the marshmallow on it.  Stuck it under the broiler, and watched closely.  I did this to both sides of the marshmallow.

This is what they looked like when they came out.  I probably would do less at a time, and put them all to the middle of the baking sheet.  However, they were sooo yummy!!!

So yummy in fact, I forgot to take pictures of us eating them!  haha :)

{Fun times at the Lake}

While Adam worked on his projects, the big kids played at the lake side.  The played in the sand, climbed on the rocks and swam!  They were out there from morning till dinnertime.  Barely stopping for lunch.

Mom and Bryn stayed inside and got a few inside projects done!

The kids, they love the water!

Even Tanner swims by himself with his life jacket on!

Dad took a few minutes to come play with the kids -- err, I mean throw them in the water.  They loved it!

Proof that they did eat!

She didn't sleep the whole time..  She took a few minutes to look around and show off some smiles!

{Labor}

A few weeks ago we spent the weekend up at the lake house.  We had a few projects to tackle, including splitting the logs that were left on the property when we built the house.  Lucky for us a neighbor had a log splitter that we were able to borrow, making the job much easier.  Adam started off doing it, and was joined by 2 more helpers.  Even Tanner got a chance to help!  The guys were so good with him, patiently letting him help. 

Finally, after a long day, it's done.  There are still some long pieces left, but that will be another day. 

{Sweet Bryn}

Recently I took this picture of Bryn.  I think it might be my favorite picture of her so far!

{Happy 8th Birthday Jaedyn}

My sweet Jaedyn turned 8 today.  Why does time go by so fast?  She had a great day, played at the Lake House all weekend, went to the American Girl Doll store, and out to dinner.  This sweet girl has changed me in so many ways.  I always knew I wanted to be a mom - and lucky for me, I was lucky enough to get a daughter like Jaedyn.  She is the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful girl I know!  Adam and I are so lucky!!  :)

{Tanners First day of Pre-School}

Tanner had his first day of pre-school last week.  He was excited to show off all his Mickey Mouse stuff.  When I picked him up, he was so excited to tell me all about what he did during the day.  Love this little guy, and I sure do miss him when he is gone!

{She smiles}

Well, just randomly.  Not for anyone, or at anything special.  But lucky for me, I've had my camera in hand and caught a few cute ones.  I guess that is the good part of making bows/headbands non stop.  Is that I have a cute model to take pictures with, that gives me some cute smiles now and then!

{The 3 of us}

Now that the big kids are off at school, it is just Tanner, Bryn and Me.  Tanner loves having Bryn all to himself.  I love having both of them to myself.  These two are the sweetest kids ever.  There is no shortage of loves and kisses when Tanner is around!

{Daddy and Bryn}

I just love seeing Adam with Bryn.  He is so sweet with her, and I can tell she already adores him.
