First Time...
Take a look at some recent 'FIRST times':
First time catching Aydrie on camera rolling over...(she's been rolling over for a couple of days now).
First time the kids are in the tub together.
First time bottling chicken:
Started like this...
Frozen
Thawing
Fill bottles, put lids on, place in Pressure Canner
Start the oven...
And wait, and wait, and wait...can't leave the pressure cooker, so I found something productive to do...
Finished product that has at least a 5 year shelf life...sitting on the shelf!
Pretty Dang Exciting, HUH?

On-the-GO
Just some randomly cute stuff:
Brayden and Aydrie ready to GO to church...Precious
Aydrie is starting to cover a lot of carpet - even though she can't roll her chubby rolls yet (but is oh-so-close to doing so). She is able to accomplish this by kicking her legs, rolling from side to side (like a rocking boat), and flinging her arms in every direction.
She started like this:
Then ended like this:
AND...
It may not be Spring outside (anymore), but inside our home it is. We have flowers poppin' up everywhere - including off of Adyrie's head.
Apparently Spring is also On-the-GO...
Have a HAPPY Snowy day!

Miracle Worker
It's SOOOO Great to have a Fixer-Upper around the house!
Cam revived this sad piece of equipment (DVD player). It's a MIRACLE, really...
We thought it was a gonner when we retrieved 4 DVDs that were strategically shoved in the CLOSED DVD slot...
All thanks go to this little guy.
One might wonder what is going on in that creative, rather large, head of his...
I know I do.

More Birthday Fun
Happy Birthday Preston and Shannon!
Preston is Da-bomb because he is TALL
and that's not all-
He is hip
As well as Ripped!
He's good at the babysitting thing
And have you heard him sing? (wow)
We know this is late,
The l0th was the right date (sorry)
Hope you had a Jammin' Birthday
And don't spend your birthday dollar all in one place.
To you, Shannon Celsie (spelling?) Clark:
We're super glad you are our older sis.
We're sorry your birthday we did miss
You're one year older and wiser too
We would like to hang out with you!
You could give BreAnn some styling tips
And Cam could eat your yummy chip dip.
Your party-planning skills are something to brag about
Definitely....WITHOUT A DOUBT!
So Happy Happy Birthday Shannon, dear
Hope you have a fun-filled year!
WE Love you guys!

Glorious OUTings
Because the weather has been GLORIOUS this past week,
we took advantage of it and ventured out of our Happy Home.
The first OUTing we undertook was a little stroll to Arctic Circle.
It is conveniently located only 2 blocks from where we live. You may be thinking we visited this WONDERFUL Ice Cream Creator for it's WONDERFUL Ice Cream...but that was not the case THIS time (it IS the case EVERY OTHER TIME). We stopped by to let Brayden enjoy the slides that are inside Arctic Circle.
("Why not go to a park?" you wonder...A park was our first choice, but there were 2 reasons for our outing that day...First, to BE OUTSIDE and second, to return a DVD to a Redbox which was located very close to the Arctic Circle). Cam purposefully left all forms of money at home so we would not give into the inevitable temptation of their WONDERFUL Ice Cream.
But guess what? While we were enjoying Brayden's laughter as he enjoyed sliding,
a very nice Lady worker offered FREE WONDERFUL Mini Ice Cream Cone samplers.
WOW!
That Ice Cream was WONDERFUL!!!!
Then back into the 2-seater stroller our 2 children went
And back home we strolled.
FANTASTIC OUTing...
The second OUTing we went to is located right behind our living quarters.
It is called...
The Backyard.
Cam was not able to join us on this outing. He was cheerfully helping the many, many customers who came to visit him at his place of work: the Walmart Pharmacy. (This is the place that assists him in 'bringing-home-the-bacon'.)
So, while a pan of Tator-tot/Hashbrowns Casserole(I ran out of Tator-tots and used Hashbrowns for the remaining uncovered part because I figured since Tator-tots and Hashbrowns come from the same family, Potato, it would all taste the same...) baked in the oven, me and Brayden kicked a beach ball into a soccer net, around the yard, and almost over the not-so-tall fence and Aydrie worked on perfecting her new-found hobby - sticking her tiny fist into her mouth...she's very close at getting it all the way in there! She also enjoyed staring at the grass as she lay on her tummy.
Another successful OUTing...
Thank GOODNESS for GLORIOUS weather!

Midnight CCCs
Last week we made cookies at MIDNIGHT - Chocolate chip cookies.
They were DE-LISH.....well, mostly...
(I'm on the HUNT for a really, Really, REALLY good recipe for Chocolate chip cookies...I've tried many, but haven't found my favorite yet. So any of you out there who have a CCC (Chocolate Chip Cookie) recipe that you LLLOOOVVVEEE...Please share!)
As a team, we conquered the exciting task of creating delectable chocolaty delights(almost).
I'm so glad that this IrResisTible HOTT Stud MUFFIN is MY teammate!
And of course, our team wouldn't have been complete without this incredible piece of equipment called a BOSCH. In a very short period of time, a Bosch can spin many ingredients into one large ball of YUMMMM. (It makes Bread even better)
We all know the best part of creating edible treats is TASTE-TESTING...And it has to be done...it's a responsibility we were both willing to accept.
(He makes you wish YOU were the one tasting that dough, right?...WOW..that's something else...)
NO - we are NOT smooching that oh-so-tasty beater...
Next,
We ate some of our creations...
And then we shared a few with our garbage can...
(I know, I know, these look very similar to the ones above....but the ones above were NOT burned to a CRISP!)
This is what happens when your timer doesn't go off because the beeper is broken (but it counts time perfectly) and you lose all track of time because you're having a very intense discussion about Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery (we're reading the D&C as a couple).
(and maybe because it's MIDNIGHT...and who thinks straight at MIDNIGHT??)
WhOoOops...
I'd say it was a pretty productive night...
SMILES to ALL of you!
