Lots of time has passed!

























































































































I will just keep this short. June and July have been EXTREMELY busy! We closed June with Falls Creek, then headed off to the lake with my family for a vacation, then to Branson for a mission trip, and now finally home...just to clean and relax for a few more weeks before school. Although I woke up this morning at 4:45 only to think about things for school!! GRR!! Here are some pictures from this last month!

Baseball game

We went to one of our youth's baseball game this morning and it was super bright with the sun! Aunt Sarah gave us these sunglasses before Kade was born and he wore them for longer than I thought he would. He needed his paci at first because he had just woken up and didn't quite like that he had them on, but he got used to them and then the paci came out! He looks so cute!


Fun times

Gracie is quick to grab those toys... Kade will have to learn to catch up! :)

Wait...wait...give Momma time to get them back on there! :)

Cousin time with Gracie....


How sweet... Cousins Jordan and Jericho read Kade books and play with him.

Making baby food

With this little guy in mind...I decided to make baby food. I wanted to plant my own garden so I knew exactly what he was eating, however, that time has gone and past and there is not a garden growing in our backyard. Next year I will try harder. I do plan on getting some fresh things from his Baba's garden.
Fresh green beans from the store...

Cut off the ends and anything else not wanted...


Steam them...


Put the steamed veggies in the food processor (note: green beans are the hardest to puree)


Add the excess water that has the minerals and nutrients from the steaming process...


Scoop into ice cube trays and freeze! Each is about one ounce of food. I took them out and put them in zip lock baggies, labeled them, and have about 40 servings of green beans and carrots (not documented) all for about $5!
