Arkansas Boys:
Dad took the oldest four fellas to the park with Grandpa today. They are all growing up so fast, my stair steps!

Arkansas Boys:
The Tooth fairy gets a break after a certain age. Alex is finally pulling his own teeth, and in exchange, I just hand him a dollar. None of that under the pillow business. ha

We got to visit some family over the holidays this year that we hadn't seen in awhile. This is my boys with my grandparents. We had a great little visit.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Oliver!

I don't think I've blogged here in a long time! Here's a picture of Oliver from about a month ago. He's a good baby so far. He's good at his baby jobs, eating, sleeping and pooping. What else could you ask for??

The boys have adjusted well to having another brother. We've finished up Thanksgiving and are working our way toward Christmas. I put the tree up yesterday, and am hoping we lose fewer ornaments to grabby hands this year.

A gal can hope, right?

Are You Having Twins?

No, I'm not. I get that question a lot. Along with, "due any day huh?" and the answer is no, I'm due in September. But thanks for thinking I'm huge. Or thanks for also flat out saying, "you're huge!".

People are a little nuts!

Father's Day

What do you guys do for Father's Day? This year we're tight on money so I'm making official promises for gifts to come later! Steven is interested in a blu-ray player or a DVR. We're like the only people left without DVR. ha. We actually watch shows live and sit through commercials.

I made cupcakes for my Father in Law and I'll call my dad tomorrow to tell him happy father's day. I'm late with my cards this year that have to be mailed.

I find Father's Day difficult, because I'm never sure what to get for people I know who are fathers. lol

It's all about the food . . . .

This weekend is supposed to be all about the cleaning, but that hasn't happened yet! Instead, it's turning out to be all about the food!

I bought some fresh mozzarella and basil, to make a pizza puff recipe. After getting the ingredients for that, I decided to try my hand at making a basic Caprese salad. It's just layered basil, tomato cheese, salt and pepper and olive oil. What I discovered is that I love this salad, if I use just a little bit of the fresh basil. A whole leaf is too much for me.

As I speak the pepperoni puffs are in the oven, and at least they smell good! I got the recipe from Danielle. I'm also making those potatoes, maybe for supper. See what I mean by all about the food??

3 of my boys are at their grandparents house this weekend. They'll be so excited when they get home on Sunday because their bunk beds were delivered this weekend. They have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bunk beds for 3 weeks!
