Flower Cookies

We were down to a few bites of chocolate in the house, so I decided it was time to make cookies. Sara decided we needed to make the flower cookies with M&M's from in her princess cookbook. Since I was in the mood to bake, we improvised and made our own version of the flower cookies. The process took over 24 hours to complete, but I think they turned out pretty sweet. After lunch today, I enjoyed a cookie or two and Sara decided she wanted chocolate...I will never understand that girl!

Hosting July's Dinner Club

A few months back, a friend started a dinner club for the ladies. Each month is at a different member's house and they choose the theme. We have had Greek, Italian, and French nights so far. I decided to go a little different and made the theme 'brinner' = breakfast for dinner! I think it was a success! I didn't take any pictures during the night, but got one of the table before everyone showed up...enjoy!

Pinterest Party

We have been busy updating the kid's rooms this summer...furniture needed to be rearranged and paint needed touching up. With these changes also came a few DIY projects which came from a favorite website, pinterest! As the projects are completed, I'll continue to post to this album and take a few shots when the rooms are complete.

Trip to Santa Fe

We picked the one day with rain to head to Santa Fe, but we had a good time splashing through the puddles and finding new places to visit for our next trip. Hope you enjoy the few pictures we were able to take between rain drops!

Happy 4th!

We have had a great 4th of July so far. Sara enjoyed her first parade in the morning, and swam like a fish in the afternoon. We are having a little down time inside while mother nature passes through ABQ and plan to enjoy a few fireworks this evening with family and friends. Hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable Independence Day!
