July...

Wow, it's July all ready!  I just realized I haven't posted a new blog in 2 months.  I feel like a lot could have happened and maybe it did but I don't remember everything so here are the highlights...

Our New Car

I still love our new car.  I was thinking this morning about what a blessing it is to get in and the motor starts and all the bells and whistles work.  I love how it drives.  It was great for going to Ikea to pick up our new bookshelf and for a trip to the cabin.

Condo

We've been continuing to prepare for the new baby.  The kid's room now has a fresh coat of paint and a new shelf to keep stuff out of reach.  Our living room has a new bookshelf so all our movies, books, cds, and other clutter items are safely out of reach.

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent the weekend at our cabin with my parents and our friends, Megan and Eric.  Samuel also had someone to play with, David.  It was sunny and beautiful at the cabin and we walked to town for Samuel's 1st haircut.

Samuel was starting to get kinda fro-ey.  So off we went to the Hairstream, a salon in an Airstream trailer.  He looks so much better now, like a big boy.  Then it was coffee time at the Wake N Bakery, followed by playing at Glacier city park aka the playground on the back lot of the ski shop.  The boys had a blast being boys.

Glacier

I love this little town.  It is the last town before the Mount Baker Ski Area.  There is a general store/restaurant, an Italian restaurant, the Ski Shop, the Snowboard Shop, The Hairstream, The Wake N Bakery, and some other random shops.

When we stay at the cabin we walk thru the woods to town for coffee at the Wake N Bakery.  It's such a peaceful way to start the day.  Last year we were able to stay for a whole week this year we couldn't seem to fit it into our schedule

June

June just went by way to fast.  I know we've been taking Samuel to the park.  He needs to run free and burn energy quite often.  I washed a lot of cute baby girl clothes in preparing for Charlotte.  I've also napped a lot since Charlotte doesn't like me to sleep at night and only lets me sleep in the afternoons.

Club has been winding down and is now over for the school year.  Tyrone took an entire week off and got tons of stuff done around our house.  Now it's field trip time!

July

July will probably go by fast too.  Only 70 days until Charlotte gets here.  I still have some stuff to get.  Fortunately, it's mostly stuff that can wait until she's here.  Somedays I'm so excited that I just can't wait!

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference. Snickerdoodle Recipe 1 Cup Butter 1 1/2 Cups Sugar Cream Together 2 Eggs Creamed and ready for flo...

My Treehouse

I live in a Treehouse, or maybe it just feels like I do.  My mom calls me a former basement dweller.  My husband is a former basement dweller too.  So how did two basement dwellers end up in a treehouse? Our treehouse is a miracle.  When Tyrone and I got engaged we started looking at apartment rents and wondered if we could even afford to get married.  Rents were insanely high and our salaries were pretty low.  So we kinda started to worry but kept looking and then we just stopped.  Fortunately my mom loves a good challenge.  She started looking at houses or condos or anything.  Another thing about my mom, she loves to walk.  She gets bored walking in the same neighborhood so sometimes she'll drive to another and walk there.  View Ridge was one of her favorite places to walk. View Ridge is such a different neighborhood.  There are large homes on the bluff, 1950 ramblers, an apartment building, a church, and our condo. ...

Grocery Shopping

I love to grocery shop! When I was little one of my favorite things was to go grocery shopping with my mom.  I'm not sure why I loved it so much.  Maybe cause I got to spend time with her or cause it was Shopping. My mom home-schooled me until 2nd grade so there was lots of grocery shopping days.  I remember starting school and feeling left out that my sister got to go grocery shopping and I didn't.  Whenever Mom would pick me up from school after grocery shopping I would feel so left out.  Fortunately, I was home-schooled again in 5th & 6th grade.  Grocery shopping was back. My mom used my interests to guide my lesson plans, so she focused some of my projects around the grocery store.  I learned how to check the price per pound to see which size was the better deal.  We studied sugar content in cereal and compared it to the price of the cereal.  In the 7th grade I used the cereal data for my science project, I think I got a blue ri...
