Super Saturday: Game Day Edition








To all of my Alabama relatives (especially Aunt Sherry): I know these photos are painful to look at. But, we love you very much. And Blake makes the kids wear the orange outfits. :)

Blake and Jack camped out in our backyard Saturday night. They had the best time! We are going to schedule our first "real" campout very soon!

Boys with their Bikes and Random Thoughts
















The other night we took Jack to the park to ride his bike...we go there often, because we have found a secret place that is (in our opinion) the best place! We let him ride in either the basketball or tennis court area at the helicopter park. It is completely fenced in (no cars) and there is hardly ever anyone else there. So, Jack can ride around in a large, open space with no worries of cars or getting to close to the street.


1) I am down 16 pounds. :)

2) I have started planning Claire's birthday party. I can not believe she is going to be ONE next month!

3) Jack went to the dentist this week: great report, no cavities.

4) I made my first trip to Goodwill (Claire Wood, you would have been so proud of me!). Jackson wanted a detective costume, basically, an oversized kid's suit jacket. I found one for $5.99. I got to the check out, and it was on clearance. $2.99. Score.

5) I got Claire an ADORABLE swimsuit for next summer at Target. $2.50. Score again.


Road Trip!













Saturday morning, we decided to take a little day trip to a nearby Mennonite Farm that I heard about from one of my friends. The farm is about an hour from our house. They are open daily and sale all types of vegetables, bread, jams and jellies, raw honey, spaghetti sauce, salsa, soaps, and even a homemade laundry detergent. We bought a few items (green beans, okra, bread, strawberry jam, and honey). I wanted to try the freshly churned butter, but they were sold out. I did not take any pictures of the place...I did not want to be disrespectful, and wasn't sure what the proper etiquette was, but is was a gorgeous farm. We snapped a few photos at a little stop that we made....a small airplane/gliding park.
