My little man...

After watching Julie & Julia today, I wanted to try a new reciepe- so Tristin and I hopped in the kitchen and made homemade Macaroni & cheese! It was really different than my normal one- so I had to give it a try.(I found it on Fabulesslyfrugal.com. Tristin, who LOVES to cook (who would have thought, huh? With a Mom like me!)wanted to make mashed potatos, so he did, using 1 lonely potato.
I can't believe how grown up he looks too. What a lovely, sad day when you realize your little man isn't so little any more...

At the park...

Here's a few with the kids and I! I'm never in pictures (not that want to see myself, but I do want evidence that I was around!)

We took the kids to the park Sunday afternoon (in 100 degrees!) to feed the ducks. While we were there the kids were catching little fish & water skeeters and Trav caught a crawdad! The kids were totally amazed by it so they had to play with it, while I was grossed out completely by the pond water splashing around and the kids touching the nasty creature- but they had fun and promptly bathed when we got home!

Feeding the Ducks...

The kids all passed their swim lessons and will advance next year! great job kiddos! The last day was "fun day" so they were able to go down the slide and I laughed so hard when both Daisy & Grace came out all wild and crazy!

Swim Lessons are Complete!

Last Friday was the kids last day of swim lessons and they had a great time! It was fun watching them learn and develop and enjoy the water even more. Willow had a blast too sitting on the edge of the pool for 2 weeks with her little toes in the water. Thanks again Mom for making this happen!
