It’s Monday and silly me wanted out of town for the morning. I made it to Nevada, and my van red lined. We’re stuck here for a bit. OMG what a day already.

Let The Fireworks Begin
Agnes wasn’t happy about it, not one little bit…
Thade couldn’t wait!
Dylan wasn’t too sure if he would like the fireworks or not…
We were all waiting for dusk, for the temp to drop a bit, and for the fireworks show that Dad was going to put on.
Thade got started with some Morning Glories.
Dylan put on his headphones, just in case the fireworks were too loud.
After a bit Dylan got curious, and decided to hold a sparkler too.
Thade was a pro. That little guy had an awesome time this year, and he discovered his love for lighting fireworks. He is already ready for the next 4th of July, he has big plans for next year.
Finally the sun went down for the night, so we grabbed a blanket to put on the front lawn.
Dylan and I set in to watch the firework show that Dad and Thade were putting on.
It was an awesome display!
What a fantastic 4th of July.
June’s Tasty Treats
I think I spent most of June in the kitchen whipping up breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the crew. I did get a few tasty treats made though, but not near enough pictures.
We made Oatmeal Muffins for breakfast for dinner night.
I tried out a new recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. James loved these!
Last but not least I made a Chocolate Cake with Red Velvet Icing. It was amazing delicious, the kiddos loved it.
Now onto July, and I’m working on a Cherry Jell-O Cake today! Time to get in the kitchen.

The Slacker Summer
I’m taking the Summer off… No plans, no activities, just free time with the kiddos. You know what… I’m absolutely loving the slacker lifestyle, we all need a little break now and then.
