• Birthday Celebration (part 2)

    Happy Birthday Brina & Karlie

    We were actually traveling on the girls actual birthday (they had a great time visiting their grandparents in Vermont).  After we got back from our trip we scheduled a birthday party for the friends and family in our area.  It was held at the Upstate Children’s Museum.  The girls had a blast playing at the Children’s Museum with their family and friends.  It was a great place to have a birthday celebration!

  • Spinach & Mushroom Alfredo Pizza

    Our family enjoys making homemade pizza.  One of our favorite recipes is the Spinach & Mushroom Alfredo Pizza recipe.  Instead of the marina sauce we use Alfredo sauce on the pizza with fresh spinach, mushrooms, black olives, and cheese.  The pizza is delicious!

    You can use your favorite pizza dough recipe.  If you are looking for a great one here’s our favorite pizza dough recipe!

    The next time you make pizza try using the white sauce and adding different toppings.  You might just be pleasantly surprised by the great combination.  We love it making white pies!

    The girls thought it was hilarious after we had eaten the pizza the remaining pieces formed a giant T shape!

  • Cousins Night Out!

    We ended our fun adventures in town that evening with a special treat! Ice cream cones!!!! This is the only picture of the 5 of them, everyone was having so much fun playing I didn’t want to make them stop to pose for a picture! 🙂

    Paul and Mirm were able to get away one night to meet friends and spend some quiet time together so we kept the kids.  Since Jake was working when Paul & Mirm left I took the crew to Par Tee Time which has bounce houses, batting cages, and miniature golf for the kids.  After Par Tee Time we picked up some pizza, had a picnic in the park and played.  We ended our night out with the cousins at Bruster’s for ice cream cones than headed home to get everyone showered and ready for bed.

    Whose up for a game of miniature golf?

    I had a blast with the kids.  They did really well bouncing around and playing together.  Thankful for some extra time with my nieces and nephew.  The girls always enjoy their time with their cousins. A lot of great memories of their time with us!
