2nd Annual Mother-Daughter Cookie Shenanigans
...or should I say 'Brookie' shenanigans?
My mother does not appreciate anyone taking her picture. So we have lots of pictures of ...well, in this case, butter wrappers? So we take what we can get!
I'm so grateful to live close enough to do this kinda stuff! I love my mom and my sisters and we always have such a great time together and a lot of laughs. I'm not even sure if it's really about the cookies!

Raspberries

I can't decide what's cuter...Jude blowing raspberries or Briar's voice in the background?

Tru is Ten
On November 2nd, 2011 our Truey turned 10!
We had a big family birthday party for him at our house...
Truman's favorite is always chocolate but another sweet close to his heart is coconut. His favorite candybar is Almond Joy. So, this year I made a 4-layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and this amazing coconut filling that I found a recipe for online.
...and the next day he had a Birthday Party at Mall of America with his friends!
The Ropes Course...
...at the indoor amusement park!
sweet baby brother was there too
we went upstairs to the food court for pizza...
...and presents...
Happy Birthday, dear Truman. We love you so much and we are so blessed to have you for a son. We are very proud of you and the young man that you are growing up to be.
Love,
Mom and Dad

A New Little Hobby
So, I started a recipe blog "Make. Eat. Love." as a convenient place to keep all my recipes that are on my computer and to make it easier to share them with my friends and family and now it's somewhat unexpectedly become a little hobby for me. Right now, I can barely keep up with all the laundry, dishes, house cleaning and homework and then there's the nursing and diapering and bathing my sweet baby and trying to figure out how to handle a family of 6...and yet I've managed to start a new hobby...go figure. I'm left to wonder is it a hobby? or an escape? I suppose those two are often synonomous anyways. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying it! Check it out if you're interested!

Thanksgiving 2011
Giving thanks and praising God for a blessed year. We traveled to Wisconsin to celebrate this Thanksgiving with my side of the family.
This is Jude and Bryson. Baby buddies born 1 day apart. [Bryson is older] My first cousin is his grandpa. In other words, he's my cousin's daughter's son. In other words, I am OLD and Bryson's mom is YOUNG. They are already so cute together...can't wait to watch them as they grow and play together at the family gatherings.
