7 months and more

LOOK AT THOSE ROLLS!! I love how squishable she is!  Audrey is officially 7 months now.  Still super smiley, (although she has shown a few colors as she has pushed out 2 teeth), and is starting to rock on her hands and knees.  She's going to be mobile before I know it! Secretly, I'm ok that she is still content staying  put ;)
It really has been a warm spring, so Craig, Jeremy, and I prepped the garden.  This little man has found his new love... dirt.  And I can't seem to keep him out of it! Hopefully I can teach him before we actually get the seeds in.
Recently our family has taken a liking to the show 'Chopped'.  In this show the culinary contestants are given a few items in a basket and have to concoct up some kind of appetizer, entree, or dessert out of all the ingredients.  So the boys gave me these ingredients one Sunday afternoon, to surprise them for dinner with.  Pickles, grated parmesan, Horseradish, and cooked rice noodles.
This is what I came up with.  Parmesan crusted chicken, over seasoned rice noodle with chive, horseradish coleslaw, and sliced apples as a pallet cleanser ;).  It actually, surprisingly, didn't turn out half bad.  All the kids were generous with their critiquing and we had mixed reviews on the entree ;p 
We really enjoy our birds.  And when they get hungry enough, they'll eat out of your hands.
One Saturday, we were all outside for most of the day with soccer and chores.  It fizzled poor little Craig out, and got a little heat exhaustion.  Thankfully, after a rough night's sleep, he recovered.
I don't think I could say it enough, I love being in Activity Days.  It's even more fun when I can be with Cami too.  These girls were trying to build a 'Firm Foundation' (Hel. 5:12), out of spaghetti and mini mallows.  Some really went at it, and some enjoyed eating the building materials, ha! 
Cami is ALWAYS begging to go horse riding.  It really is probably every little girls dream.  It was mine too when I was little.  But I don't share that dream anymore, especially after my mom broke her neck falling off a horse years ago.  Nonetheless, every once in awhile, she gets to.  Jeremy's ex-step dad, U'Dell, has been kind to let the kids ride whenever we come down, which isn't all that often enough according to Cami.
Alex getting to ride too :)
Horse Soccer, ha!!

Audrey is the happiest baby! I love her smiles. So cute. I had a love of wanting to see and ride horses when I was younger too. I believe the last time I rode a horse was in college! Fun Cami can go horse riding.
