Cooking Fun!

After reading a friend's blog about allowing her kids to cook, I decided to give some of my kiddos a chance to cook too.  Elijah was the first one to give it a try, I let him make corn muffins from a box mix.  He had a great time and required minimal supervision since he can read!  They turned out really good and he was soooo proud of himself!

Jeremiah's 2nd Birthday!

For Jeremiah's 2nd Birthday we celebrated with a old west/farm theme.  I made a barn cake and animal cupcakes and we decorated with "rescued" decorations leftover from VBS this summer.

After much prayer and discussion we decided to only have family at his birthday party.  Jeremiah finds large crowds to be overwhelming and usually has a "melt down" when he is overwhelmed.  So, it was just grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, which is still a big crowd (13 adults and 10 kids counting our family)!
