Stuff!
Been a while since I added some pictures! I'm having difficulty with photobucket and it just has been too much work!
But here's a few new ones! Breccan (and BayLea) got a little gator from the Rowland family. Breccan loves to go to Mimi and Pa's and drive his gator. He's so cute driving his little gator next to Pa's big gator...
BayLea got ROAR-er of the week last week. This is just two of the things she got. She also got a notepad, pencil, and a few other little things. AND the big thing is that her picture is on the wall in the hall all year!
Breccan sleeping in on a school day. Weekends roll around and he's up at the crack of dawn!
I got a new bike! It's so fun to ride as a family.

Blueberry Bread Pudding
This is wicked good...From Taste of Home Simple and Delicious magazine.
3 eggs
4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups sugar (but one will do...ask me how I know!?)
3 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 pkg (10 to 12 oz) white baking chips
1 loaf of French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
Sauce:
1 pkg (10 to 12 oz) white baking chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
In large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla. Stir in blueverries and baking chips. Stir in bread cubes. Let stand for 15 minutes or until bread is softened.
Transfer to a great 13x9in baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
For sauce, place baking chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over baking chips; whisk until smooth. Serve with bread pudding.
Yum! Very rich, but oh so good!

Camping...Ridgeway State Park and Mancos State Park
We went camping again. We're loving our camper! This time we went to Ridgeway state park and loved it this time...we found a great little spot amongst the trees. Beautiful!
Breccan packed up his bike just like daddy does with the camper.
Breccan checking out his family shot he took. He loves his camera...and his tripod!
I even caught him taking his own picture a couple times...
And his shot of the three of us...
The kids had hotdogs for dinner and we had hamburgers in foil with potatoes and carrots.
The next morning, the kids were trying to get pictures of wildlife...didn't work. They're too impatient and too loud, but it was cute watching them...
We drove to Mancos...GORGEOUS drive over Lizard Head Pass. We stopped in a little town to eat and use the restroom and I took some pictures (big surprise) because the light was pretty even in the middle of the day!
My hillbilly daughter, with a missing tooth (okay, she really just had a blueberry on it!)
In Mancos, as we waited for Jill and Scott and kids, the kids entertained themselves. Here they are playing the grill-drums. I thought I'd get a low point of view of them and came up with this!
So I did it again...this time it worked...
Breccan found tent stakes that he fell in love with. He spent forever trying to pound them into the ground.
And then finally Aaron and Lacey were there!
Auntie Jill brought supplies for Apple Crisp to cook in her cast iron pot. Yum!
And we played kick the can, which was really fun!
On Saturday we headed to Mesa Verde. We had a great time. It was only about 80 degrees, but kind of muggy. It rained on us a little later in the day. Perfect weather!
One of the things we learned was that because they ground their maize on sandstone, there was sandstone in their food and eventually this would wear away their teeth. They think that because of the ground down teeth all the skeletons had, that it is likely that many of the Ancient Puebloan People died from tooth decay complications.
And then of course, we had to just have some portraits!
Breccan wanted to take pictures with my camera (my very expensive camera, on top of his el cheapo tripod = I was scared!) So I let him take one, but as I was walking back to the camera he kept snapping photos!
