There are things that we do here over, and over, and over again – as part of our schedule, part of our routine, or just because we enjoy them.
It’s the good stuff!!
Sometimes I wonder if I should post another photo of us getting our favorite treat (Starbucks), looking through school totes with Blake (again), or hanging out on the floor with our favorite people!
I am a memory keeper.
From way back.
Way back when making scrapbooks was so popular – and I have tons of them to prove that fact.
This is now my way of keeping our memories!
And just like the kiddos love to look at those scrapbooks, they love to look at the blog books too.
Here is another page in our scrapbook!
Addie Mae was my errand helper one Friday when Grant was home, and, yep!
There’s our favorite treat!
The boys and their guitars.
I LOVE hearing those guitars.
Even when I am making breakfast.
Practice happens every where.
I can’t wait to get our furniture!
Boys.
I love them.
A quick stop at River’s place to drop some stuff off got me this smile!
Dropped some grocery another day and got to love on Rivy again!
Clyde and Ellie were napping!
Speaking of those grands – we watched them on Saturday.
It was certainly the best day ever!!
We love their parents too!!
Especially when we have some two-on-two time with them!
Food is a big part of our life.
We like to eat!
And enjoy cooking and baking too!
I use a half hour every Thursday to make our menu plans and a grocery list.
In my journal I wrote a list of goals a while back, and one of them was to try one new recipe a week.
That has been FUN!
But I do get a little side tracked sometimes!
By the yummy recipes we already have!
It got warm enough to grill some turkey veggie burgers!
Snack plates for lunch are easy and delicious.
When you go to the Co-op hungry, you come home with organic beets – and then change up your menu plan to make them.
This was DELISH.
And a new recipe!
Basil sun dried tomato fettuccine anyone?
Addie earns her keep on an hourly basis – and made mint chocolate chip ice cream one night – just because!
The secret ingredient is avocado – and yes I ate two bowls!
We have snacks every Sunday night – and our favorite people join us!
Those are sweet potato bites with loaded guacamole!
Another new recipe – SO good.
We had several bags of coffee with just a tablespoon or two left in them.
I dumped them all together and made cold brew.
It was a hit!
My hubby and I had an anniversary!
29 years!!!!
How I love doing life with this man.
He is my best friend!
Remember my introduction above?
Think on that while you look at these photos of the beauty off our deck!
I think I have posted more of this kind of photo than I can count.
Look what God did though!
It’s never lost on me!
The ice was SO beautiful!
See that clump of trees ahead on the left side of the road in this photo?
That’s Twin Oaks!!
These kiddos still show Blake all of their school work.
One of my favorite things we do.
We have been having our dates on Friday at lunch time now because of the travel time back and forth to town and the weather.
That has changed Friday nights to movie night!
With ice cream, of course!
When Tate and Eliza’s Mama brings home glow-in-the-dark silly putty, she finds them in the dark closet when she goes looking for them!
See the silly putty?
School is happening.
We are enjoying it!
Games.
We play them everyday.
Cause it’s fun!
My morning spot.
ALL TIME FAVORITE THING TO DO.
Once a week the middles and littles and I head to River’s place for lunch and a play date!
THE BEST.
There’s the good stuff!!
The stuff memories are made of!
The blessing of these days is always at the forefront of my mind and heart!
Lord willing, there are many, many things planned that should be happening around here –
so stay tuned for more of the good stuff!!
Have a great Thursday everyone!
