Cookies--Boxing--Picnic Time

It's been a WHILE since I have actually made some cookies from scratch. It's just too easy to buy them and bake them when I am ready. I pulled out my old, trusty cookbook from the church and found Granny's recipe for chocolate chip cookies! Delicious!! By the time we were done, it looked like the Pillsbury Doug boy had flour tooted all over my kitchen! All in all...Kaden and I enjoyed the batter and the cookies! Fun times.
The Blane's are teaching Kaden how to hold his own....as if he needs the lesson's! Ryan was just letting Kaden go at it! They are good to him!

Last weekend, JD had a picnic and the weather was testy, but turned out to be a beautiful day. We played tons of games, flew kites, and ate...

and Kaden played in the water...most of the day! Water and sand and this boy is SET!

Barrels of fun and family camp

This is the wine barrel that Karl converted into our entertainment center. Kaden thinks it's a great place for hiding/playing.

Karl, Kaden and I were able to go to Family Camp this year and we had a blast. It was a quiet weekend with very few families. We pretty much had the grounds to ourselves. Loved every minute of it. Next year, we'll take more families and share the love. Each night we had camp fire and Kaden had to wear a jacket. It was chilly when the sun disappeared.

Kaden loved the camp food!

Karl and Colby took their turns as 'cookie'!

All the big kids were playing games and the little kids decided they wanted to play as well. Karl joined in!

Kaden got to ring the bell for dinner or supper...a meal!

Kaden and Logan waiting on the next activity on the agenda.
