Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

The weather is finally looking like summer and so we took advantage of the beauty and headed to Vancouver lake for some fun in the sun. It is one of the many local lakes that I used to go to growing up. And check out the views of Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Hood-does it get any better than this?? There are plenty of great places to play in the water here and the kids said it was almost as fun as the German Schwimbads-if only it had a waterslide!!

Monday I was making cookies for family night with Bella's help. We had gotten all the ingriedients in and were getting ready to do a final mix, I turned my back for one second and when I turned around the bowl was full of pink lemonade. Bella says, ''mom the cookies were thirsty"-this girl has an excuse for everything. I mixed them up anyway, they were a little flatter than normal but tasted grrreat!

What is The Chicken House? When my oldest became a big brother, he realized that his spot in moms arms while she rested on the couch had now been taken over by his baby sister. He decided that he would make a new nest in the crook of my legs which he fondly dubbed his "chicken house". Six children later this little spot made by the crook of my legs is coveted whenever I sit down or lay on the couch. In fact, I can't ever sit anywhere without one of the kids sitting on me. They love to snuggle and get their toes warmed and we have come to think of the Chicken House as any place where you feel safe, warm and happy.
