Hello Summertime!

It's BBQ season if you are from the south! So I decided it would be fun to share some of our favorites!

Kinda like-I'll share mine if you'll share yours! Here are two for today...

Corn on the cob cooked on the grill

Frozen corn, garlic salt, pepper, butter, chopped onions and bell peppers.

Wrap 6 in foil with all the above on top with one or two table spoons of butter.

Place on grill first, it takes awhile for the peppers to get done! :)

We usually use the onions and bell peppers to go on our hotdogs with mustard-trust me you won't be sorry you tried this!

Baked Beans

 

Bush's Baked Beans ORIGINAL, Two or three tablespoons (depending on size you are cooking) of brown sugar, original KRAFT bbq sauce, bell peppers and onions (cooked hamburger meat is optional: cook on stove top with olive oil with bell peppers and onions-drain and mix in with baked beans and then cook baked beans in oven). Cook in oven and your done-The best baked beans ever....I know I've been told several times!

Ok that's it for today...now share yours and let me know if you try these! 

Country

This afternoon we cleaned up the garage (yes again) and had to have something to keep the kids entertained while we did. SO....I decided it would be fun to throw a few balls in the tub and put some water in it. It was the perfect size to keep Connor entertained and out of trouble for awhile and Laynee got to dip her feet in!

 

I know it's a bit country but it's the smallest things at our house that keeps our kids entertained!

Grilling out and roasting marshmellows

Saturday afternoon we invited the Adairs and Wills over to grill out, swim and roast marshmellows. Roasting marshmellows was a first for my two. Laynee loved it and Connor loved watching the marshmellow catch on fire and hearing me say blow it out. He got tickled ever time! We borrowed a lil' swimming pool and had the sprinkler going and the kids didn't stop going until time to go. They had so much fun! It's amazing how something so lil and took so lil' time getting together could be so fun! The adults laughed, talked and had a good time too. We had good food and good conversation which is a great way to end a saturday night!

Getting ready for Summer!

A few of the fabrics I've ordered for Connor for Summer shorts!  Summer clothes are so much more "fun" than winter clothes! I can't wait til summer!

Connor's:

I ordered these in expresso brown for $12 (no shipping) from here!

 

A few birthday finds for Laynee:

Found here for under $20!

Found here  for $15.00 SHIPPED!

Bargain shopping has become a new addiction of mine esp. since baby Avery will be here in 5.5 short months! Hope you find a deal and remember if you buy from any of these etsy stores put in the comment section I (205ashley5858) referred you!

Sweepin' the clouds away

That's what Sunday felt like. Even though there is still a chill in the air, it's a sweet reminder that Spring is right around the corner!

That's why sunday when daddy said he had to change the oil in his car, we took full advantage of being outside enjoying the Sunny Day!

We played the drums...really loud!

Rode our "scooter"...

Played with sticks...cause that's what lil' boys do...

Was really happy when Pawpaw B showed up...

and showed us how to "really" play the drums...

We let Pawpaw B show us how to ride the bike...

and then with a little help from daddy we attempted to learn how to ride our first bike with no training wheels...

Alittle more pratice and she'll have it in no time!

Saturday made me think of this song...

Sunny Day

Words by Bruce Hart, Jone Stone, and Joe Raposo

Music by Joe Raposo.

Sunny day...

sweepin' the clouds away,

on my way to where the air is sweet...

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street?

Come and play,

everything's a-okay.

Friendly neighbors there,

that's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street?

It's a magic carpet ride...

every door will open wide

to happy people like you,

happy people like,

what a beautiful

Sunny day...

sweepin' the clouds away,

on my way to where the air is sweet...

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street...?

how to get to Sesame Street...

how to get to Sesame Street...

Caitlin's Birthday

Saturday we went to Caitlins 5th birthday party! They had a huge water slide for them to play on and we eventually ended up in the pool too.

it was a busy saturday for us but a fun one!

Wordless Wednesday

A gift and ready for school

This weekend Laynee received a new backpack from Mrs. Ruth. She loved it and I loved it even more!

of course after she got the back pack she immediatley ask how much longer til school. She loves school and apparently can't wait til it starts back. With school starting back it means summer is coming to an end...sad but true. But fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the cool air and change of the leaves (and of course football season)! We have all but a few of our supplies left to buy and then we will officially be ready for school. I hope you are!

Brody turns 3!
