Chuck E Cheeses'

It's been hot here. I mean really HOT, we're talking in the 100's for the past month or more. I'm going crazy! It's too hot to do anything! Addie has no more camps this summer and we've had tons of playdates and I needed something different to do and I needed to get out of the house today. So I did it I braved Chuck E. Cheese with my 2 little ones and 2 teenagers ready to play and help.

Veggie face pizzas

I had a lunch play date on Monday with some of our favorite people. A couple of weeks ago I saw on GMA or some other morning show an idea of using veggies to make faces on pizza and how it's a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. 

Well the kids had fun making their faces, however once the pizza was cooked and it was time to eat all the kiddos took their veggies off and had just plain cheese pizza.

The kids may have not eaten their veggies but making the faces was lots of fun.

Addie's pizza is Cinderella can you see the "lipstick" she made using bell peppers

Ft. Worth Science Museum

The family headed over to Ft. Worth to spends some time with Uncle Scotty and his partner Mister Mike at the Science Museum. 

We've been to this musuem many times but this was the first time we went upstairs to check things out.

The Oregon Trail

Addie had "science" camp last week. It was at the science museum but the theme was The Oregon Trail so she really didn't get much science BUT she did learn tons and had lots of fun. The great thing about this camp is it's a different theme each week so I'm thinking Addie might be going for 2 weeks next summer.

On Friday they had a showcase of her classroom. Asher and I were dying to come visit and check everything out.

The first thing Addie wanted to show me was the Johnny Cakes they made. She informed me that each of us gets only one. She did a great job of serving Asher and me and she even put butter on them for us.

 Addie and her classmates watched their teacher make the Johnny Cakes, but they got to make the butter.

According to Addie this is how you make butter.

" You but milk in a jar and than you take turn shaking it. I shook it, then B shook it, then JJ shook it, and then the rest of the kids in the class took turns but I don't know their names"

Addie enjoying the Johnny Cake.

Side note- I thought they were gross! I'm thinking it's because they were cold and the butter was not good. But I did what any good mom would do I ate it all, smiled, and made yummy noises.

Did I mention that Addie's 2 BFF's went to camp with her!!! They all had so much fun,
can't wait til next year

Grandma Emery

 My grandma passed away last night. As many of you know I wasn't super close to my grandma, we never lived near each other. But I am taking this lose harder than I thought I would. We all knew it was coming but the pain was surprising. I think the reason for that is I'm super close to my mom and my heart breaks for her. My mom is amazing, and my grandma had a hand in that, which means my grandma was also amazing. 

I am truly sorry that we didn't have a better relationship and I pray that Adelynn, Asher, and little coconut will have an amazing relationship with their grandparents, because that is something I truly missed from my childhood.

Grandma rest in peace and know that you weren't a burden and that you were truly loved!

Flashback Friday

Lake with friends

 A couple of weekends ago we headed to the lake with some of Craig's high school friends. This was an extra special trip for Addie because one of Daddy's friends has a little girl who is her age.

Addie and Avery were stuck together like glue all weekend. They did a great job entertaining themselves which let us parents spend quality time together!

Wish I got more pictures!

Ballet Camp

 Addie had Dancing Angels Camp last week at our church. Addie has been asking for ballet lessons for a few months so she so super excited to go. 

(I think she was more excited about the clothes and shoes than the lessons)

On the last day they had a showcases where the kids preformed 3 songs. Addie of course was the start.....but maybe not in the best way. She wasn't the start because she knew all the moves and followed the teacher perfectly, no not my daughter she stole the show by yelling hello to me and her KiKi, running around to say hi to others....well just watch the video :)
