Peach Coffee Cake With Cream

Wow! Talk about comfort food. This was so yummy. My neighbor gave me a big bushel of peaches and so I have been experimenting in the kitchen with new "peach" recipes. This is a delicious Coffee Cake that has a layer of peaches in the center. After it was done cooking, I dished it up with some more fresh peaches on top and a little cream. DELICIOUS! This pan was empty within minutes!

Way to go Collin!

This last week, Collin advanced to a Bear in Cub-Scouts. He has been working hard since we moved in order to complete it. Great Job, Collin. I am so proud of you.

Ship Shape Shill's

So, we have started some exercise cd's and the kids wanted to join in. This is a picture of them working out. It was hilarious to watch. Actually, they worked really hard. After they were done, they all went up to the bathroom to check out their muscles. So cute.

Off To School

The first day my boys rode their bikes to school, my heart broke. They are getting so big. It was a very strange feeling sending them off into the world all by themselves. I've always thought that as a mother I teach and then watch. This was a hard one to watch. After having lessons on bike safety, how to chain up your bike, stranger danger etc. they were more then ready, I just had to let go. Easier said than done! Luckily, there are a ton of children that ride their bikes to school and so they just joined in with the rest. They LOVED it! The best part of the day for me was when I looked out the window and saw my boys riding up the hill to our home. I couldn't get my hands on them fast enough.

Home Sweet Home

Where we are living

This is the house that we are currently renting. We LOVE having the mountains as our back drop and from the front porch, our eyes can see forever. It is so beautiful. Every night we watch the most amazing sunsets. Our neighbors have been so kind and welcoming. We are really starting to feel at home.

Something New

So, I thought I would try something new for dinner and.... well.... it wasn't a success by any stretch. Here's the proof:
Braden: "Mom, this is good. I mean really, I have had A LOT worse .... this is really good..... compared to school lunch" Great.
I'll try again tomorrow!
