Yummy Weekend.

I'm so happy to have my blog back, a super special Thank You to our cousin David. He fixed it all up for me. David, you, Karen and the boys must come for dinner. Better yet, we can all head to the lake and go on trail walks, skip rocks in the water and roast marshmallows by the fire.

I have so many pictures, but will share just a recent few.
This weekend we caught a beautiful sunset, Little E insisted I take a picture.
The boys are hugging below but you have to really squint to see them.



Also, it was E's weekend with "Chester" the raccoon.
Chester is a character from the children's book "Kissing Hand."
E's teacher, Mrs.Mead, sends Chester home with a new child each weekend, so they can make and journal their own personal adventures.

Here's E and Chester watching Transformers 2, we hit the dollar movie, can't go wrong with a buck.





Next we celebrated Aiden's 2nd birthday.
2nd BIRTHDAY! I can hardly believe it!!
He is so beautiful, both boys are quite honestly.
Aiden is quite the character and I'm selfishly glad he's growing up because he really made Nick and I want another baby, he's just THAT cute.
I told his momma Karen a while back about how he made us crave another little one and she laughed and said her little busy body made her NOT want anymore little ones, pretty funny.


There he is hoping candy will fall out for him.




Sharing with his big brother Ryley.

Lastly, on Sunday we relaxed. We didn't make it to services but we gave our Thanks at home.

Nick cleaned up the garage and the boy's and I baked empanadas.

Pumpkin and cherry filling were the flavors of choice but I have to tweak this recipe a bit. I guess I'll have to keep making them until they are perfect!

Little E helping out, he was such a enthusiastic helper.

YUM!

Lastly before the night was up the boys got a late night snack of cinnamon toast.

The "Kissing Hand" cinnamon toast that is.

Chester's bag comes with ideas you can do with your children, one of them was toast in the shape of a hand. Nick teased that it couldn't be done, well I showed him didn't I?

E insisted I fold the middle fingers down to sign "I love You" just like in the book.

My little monkey was VERY happy with the results.

Their little smiles made it for a very happy night.
