Blueberry Picking and Garden Photos
So today we drove 2 hours to this Blueberry farm. They have 96,000 blueberry bushes. AND did you know that they EACH drink 4-5 gallons of water a day!!!! WOW I would hate to see what there water bill is like:
Chandler and his cousin Fiona sitting and eating there blueberries that they picked:
Benjamin… He kept saying these are so good mommy, Can I eat more?:
When they say to go out early in the morning, it is for good reason….see how HOT we were:
Ice-Cream for dessert:
Kaitlyn loved the blueberries. All the kids were feeding her. Though her nice white shirt that she had on…is now all stained. I am going to have to figure out how to get it clean:
SEE HOW BIG my green pepper is getting. I don’t think I have ever been so excited about green peppers before!:

My ONE year Old:
This little girl is just so amazing to me. I love her smile. I love the sparkle that is in her eyes. I love her laugh. I love her kisses and snuggles. I love how she pats my back when I am holding her. I love when she says mama and dada. I love how she looks are her daddy. I love how when she starts to crawl she always stops and turns around to make sure I am still there watching her. I just love her to pieces! I know that Jesus has a special plan for her life. I can’t wait to see how he uses her!

If you are looking for a really simple meal, that is fast, yummy, and your kids and husband like…then you have to try this out:
1 pound ground beef
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 t sugar
1 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
2 cups tomato sauce
5 scallions
—————————
1 package of egg noodles
—————————
4 ounces of cream cheese
8 ounces of sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheese
—————————
Start by cooking your beef. Once it is almost done add the next 6 ingredients. Cook till meat is cooked all the way through.
As your meat is cooking bring your water to a boil and cook your egg noodles. Drain. Dump them in a 13 by 9 inch pan.
Once the meat is done spread evenly on top of egg noodles.
Then mix the sour cream and cream cheese and spread evenly over meat mixture.
Then top with the 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
Cook this at 350 for 30 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes when you take it out of the oven. Then serve with your favorite vegetable.
That’s it, I found the recipe at a friends and my family loved it, especially Tony and Benjamin.
The kids are still in VBS this week. I am getting so much done while they are there. I might be looking for another one for them to go to next week!
Tomorrow is Kaitlyn’s birthday. I bought her the cutest birthday outfit, that I will post some pictures of later this week. I can not believe she will be ONE. She is so joyful, and has so much love in her. I just love that girl to pieces. We are going to have her party Friday night with just family, and then Sunday we will go out with friends. We bought her a cabbage patch kid. She like babies. She holds a little one that she has and pats its back and coos. It is so sweet. 
Of course everything she does I think is so sweet.
“You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.”
Isaiah 26:3-4
Birthday party madness…
So this weekend we had Bryce’s 9th Birthday! Oh WOW…I can not believe he is NINE. Time has flown by. He wanted a sports party. So I attempted to make a basketball cake. I am no cake artist but I tried. We had 200 water balloons, squirt guns, we grilled and had lots of yummy food. I think all the kids had fun.
This afternoon Chandler was looking at a sign in wal-mart and started laughing really hard. I could not figure out why he was laughing at any sign in there since none of them were funny. Then he blurts out ” Look mom that sign has a cat with a dog bone. Cats don’t eat dog bones, wal-mart put the wrong animal up there mom!” Then he continued to laugh. I think it is funny that it caught his attention. He is very detailed and catches anything that is out of order.
Tomorrow the kids start VBS. They are so excited to go. And I am excited about the break that i will get every single day for a couple of hours!
Well I am going to go watch A Night at the museum.
When we picked out candles….he of course wanted the BIGGEST ones that we could find!
