A Big Thank You!

A few months ago, a friend put up a give away on her blog. I was super excited when I found out I won. So I asked if we could wait until the fall and then do a family picture. I loved the end product. Becki is a wonderful photographer and friend. Thanks for doing these. http://agalwithacamera.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-give-away-winner.html

Annual YW Spaghetti Dinner and Auction

This year we had another successful fundraiser for the YW of our ward. The YW did a great job with the flower decorations and desserts. We hold a free* spaghetti dinner for the ward and anyone who wants to come. (*We only ask for a dessert donation or a donation for our silent auction if possible.) While dinner is served, the silent auction is available. We had cute homemade crafts, children's gift sets, jewelry, gently used items and some services. At the end of dinner, we close the silent auction. After every one's bellies are full, we start the dessert auction. I was amazed at the creativity of the entries in our dessert contest. We had a bunny rabbit cake, a Beauty and the Beast cake, a death by chocolate cake and so many other yummy things!! We had a great time and earned enough money for our camp program. I couldn't have asked for more!

Spring Break 2010

We had some fun over the spring break. We spent a lot of time with friends including a trip to the Chattanooga Zoo. Mickey and I wanted to have take the kids on an overnighter to Chattanooga but we could only get away for a day trip. So we headed up to Athens, TN to the Mayfield Dairy. We got to sample some of the ice cream goodness! They even had a special parking spot for Maggie. :) I must say that they pink hairnets were a.ttractive. We decided to take a detour and ended up in Sweetwater, TN where we went to a cheese farm. Oh my! The cheese was so yummy. We had cheese and crackers for lunch and loved it. We decided to head back to Chattanooga but we didn't have time for the Aquarium, so we decided to walk around downtown and play at the playground. While we were there, we saw a bunch of people sliding down the hill on cardboard. The kids (including Mickey) decided to try it out. I thought we would never move from that place. :) They had a great time. We finished our day by walking along the river. We had a great day!

Hmmm...where has all the time gone?!

We have had a lot of fun during the last few months! Our very first digital camera has been having a few charging problems (after 4 years) and it made me tired. :) Hence, very few pictures have been taken. But Mickey surprised me with a new/fancier camera in May and I have been having a blast. The kids have labeled me the paparazzi. Aren't they sweet? Seriously, I can't get enough of them on the camera. I personally think they are the cutest, beautifullest, sweetest, adorablest children in the whole world. Can you blame me?

Maggie's first lollipop

We were watching the kids' basketball games and some clowns brought around lollipops. Maggie was interested in Emma's, so we let her try one.

Maggie really liked it. All smiles.

Mickey took it away. And we were left with a crying mess. :0

She won. Mickey let her have it back and we could have a little peace. Gotta love this kid.
