First Time Roller Blading

Clay bought B a pair of roller blades and the set of pads to go everywhere. He wanted him to practice more as he will be going to hockey camp this summer for a week (15 hours of ice time!)

Whenever anyone in my family is concentrating really hard, out comes the tongue.
Not falling...
Taking a rest.
He made it over the curb without falling!





Ry watching B roller blade and playing hockey! He so badly wants to go skating and go on roller blades. He just needs to grow bigger! (not too fast though).

brotherly lovin!

Miss Maya at the Hospital

Beautiful Maya, daughter to our friends Megan and Steve, was welcomed into the world this month! Luckily I was on Spring Break and I could pop by. Unfortunately I had the boys with me...

B got to hold Maya and he looked so good as a big brother!
Ry had fun looking out the window at the big "swimming pool" and
B was reading Halle's new baby sister book...however, this quietness can only last a little while...

it turned into a wrestling match instigated by Ry on the couch! Ahhh!

To end with a wonderful student..Maya raising her hand!

"Baby Sister"

Meet Baby Sister. She is going to sleep. Shhhhh...

Good night baby sister!
Ah, you are crying, it's okay!
I'll lay with you for 2 minutes and give you a little hug.

I'll give you a BIG hug...
and a kiss goodnight!
Baby sister is awake now!
Oh, she needs her diaper changed.

She needs some cuddles and to be wrapped in her blanky.

I love my baby sister.

Yummy, yet REALLY easy granola bars!

I don't really bake, but these are a weekly item that does get baked in my house because they are so fast, easy and taste really yummy! B and Ry also help out pouring the ingredients into the bowl.

4 cups of oats (whole and quick oats mixed)

1 cup of chocolate chips

1 cup of raisins and/or craisins (I like to mix them 1/2 a cup each)

1 cup of sunflower seeds

1 cup of soy nuts (or any other nuts you prefer-this works well in a peanut free school)

Add one can SWEETENED condensed milk and mix in a big bowl.

Pat firmly into a bar pan with PARCHMENT paper.

Bake at a preheated oven of 350 degrees.

For about 24 minutes (when the top is a light brown).

Cool. (It is easier if you pull it out of the pan to cool.)
Cut into granola bar size pieces. YUMM!
