Josh couldn't move from this position because his back was so sore and stiff after helping Mandy and Nick with their basement. OUCH!
Last week we were eating some BIG, YUMMY peaches, and I mentioned to Jaxon I had read a book about a giant peach. I went into the school library and borrowed James and the Giant Peach. As we were walking out of the school, I showed Jaxon the book. He checked it out and started to get excited! All the way home he looked through the book and at all the great pictures trying to figure out what they are. (he must not have seen the movie?) We have been reading it every night since Monday. He is totally excited to listen to the story and go to bed. It is so awesome to see him have such a thrill over a story. We are just getting to the "good" part, James just walked into the peach. I can't wait to read The BFG to him (and Josh). They will love it. :D
In the past few months we have made a couple of trips up north (West Point/Layton) to visit family members in the hospital. These pictures are from a weekend we spent visiting with Uncle Lyle. Josh was able to visit Lyle with Mom and Grandma Veibell. Then he helped Mandy and Nick with their basement for the night. His back was "oh so sore" after holding the sheetrock for the ceiling above his head, that he didn't do much over the next couple of days. We stayed until Tues. Josh and I took Jaythan and Jinaya over to visit with Uncle Lyle some more. Josh really enjoyed talking with him about stereos, HD, football, Nascar, Boating, and so much more. They really have a lot in common and Josh misses being able to spend more time with Uncle Lyle. It's too bad I didn't think to take pictures. :(
As a Pampered Chef Consultant I get asked if "I cook like this for my family everynight?" The answer was a couple of times a week. Well I am happy to admit I am cooking like this almost everynight. I love things that can get done in 30 minutes. I also like this that I can make with what I've got! After a while my cupboards have the same things...and so does our dinner table.
Anyway, I want to start a blog with all my friends (if you are reading this...that means YOU!!) Where we post our favorite recipes together. I love when people post the "what's for dinner" on Facebook..and well...I was going to blog it alone...but I like friends. Let's share. I have another blog. If you want me to add you to this so you can post to this blog leave me a comment.
happy Cooking!
On the 24th of July we had planned to stay home and clean, but Dad got tired of that. We packed our bags and headed for Nana's. Before we left we recieved a surprise visit from Bret & Holly & girls. It was so great to see them!!!
We had a BBQ at Grandma Veibells on Saturday. We were glad to have Jeff, Katie, and Valo join us. (Mandy & Nick were on their way home from Hawaii!)
