Did you know?

Luke can mimic the batting stance of approx 15 major league baseball players.  He showed them all to us during the boring half of football game on Saturday.  It's quite entertaining!

Oreo Cookie Dessert

Oreo Cookie Dessert

Recipe:
2 children to help preferably ages 6 and 2
1 package of Oreos
1 8oz. container of Cool Whip
I jar Hot Fudge or Caramel topping
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup butter, melted
Nuts (optional)

First take the two helpful children and put them in aprons that are too big for them. After all, we don't want them to get dirty before Lydia's birthday dinner!!!


Next get all the ingredients out.
Cruch Oreo cookies and keep out one cup for the topping.
Don't let the children be in charge of the Oreos..... the cookies tend to disappear :)

Mix remaining Oreo's with melted butter. Press Oreo mixture in 9x 13 inch pan. Put ice cream on top of Oreo Mixture. Put in the freezer for one hour.

During that hour make sure to check the ball game.And hug your mother lots!

Put hot fudge or caramel on top of ice cream.


then put Cool Whip over that. Top with nuts and remaining Oreo mixture.
This part is the helpers' favorite! So make sure you let them do it all!!


A second supervisor in the form of a brother in an orange shirt is always helpful.

Warning, little baby fingers and crushed Oreo's in container don't mix well. You might need to assist.


Put back in freezer until ready to serve.



Enjoy!!!

I love my babies!

Yesterday we went over to Mom and Dad's for supper. Well, of course before supper was mostly spent playing with my darling baby sister who I miss so much!

For those of you who have been to our house, you might remember Luke loves to come "knock" on the "door". And when you open the "door" and say hello he will introduce himself as "Yadier Molina" "Brett Favre" "President Bush" or some other well know hero of his. And then ask if he can come over for dinner. Well, we of course always say yes let him "in" and then introduce him to everyone. Well, yesterday Sarah decided that she wanted do it as well. So she "knocked" on the "door" and when I answered it she declared "Brett Favre!"
And just for fun a picture of Sarah and Josh playing the piano :)

Farmer's Market

Almost every Saturday morning mom goes to the local Farmer's Market. And 9 times out of 10 Luke goes with her. They don't get many children at the market, so Luke and Sarah are a real treat to the vendors. Hence they get a lot of attention, and few stuff. Today Luke came home with a pumpkin and a wildflower plant :)
