July 4th Weekend!

Although there is so much to say about our 4th of July weekend, it is now the end of July! So I have decided to post this little video just as a highlight of the weekend! Thank you Deise for catching this one on film!:)



P.S. Yes, that is me in the brown shirt! Yes, that crazy little break dancer in the middle of Central Park did a back flip over 5 people! Yes, I know it was insane! Hence the fact that I have decided it was the highlight of 4th of July weekend!

Peek-a-boo

Just because I love this little man and he totally took peek-a-boo to a whole new level I am posting this video! Enjoy!



P.S. If you think this is cute you have no idea just how adorable it was in real life! Thank you, little Edwin, for bringing joy into our lives through small and simple things! We love you little man! :)

Summer Happenings!

Lots of summer happenings thus far! It's been a blast so brace yourself for a picture frenzy to get all caught up with the summer crazyness!



Summer started with a ward party at church right before our ward split! Although it was sad to say goodbye to half our ward family it was an awesome way to jump start the summer right! They even had a photo booth with dress ups! Hence the silly picture above! :)



With Saturday's free at last, no homework or studying to be done, Broc and I have started actually seeing some of the city that we live in! One Saturday we went to Arlington Cemetery, the Iwo Jima Statute and the Netherlands Carillon Bells!



So then Broc has been a traveling man as of late but the best part is I've gone with him a few times this summer since I have the time! It has been heavenly! So a few weeks back I went with Broc to Fredrick, Maryland for a night or two! We enjoyed the quaint little town and even found a beautiful little park for an evening stroll! This bridge was a pretty find we couldn't pass up without a picture!



Another Saturday allotted a trip to the Torpedo Factory! We enjoyed walking along and seeing the different artists and their styles! Certainly a place we will need to go again soon!



And yet another Saturday allowed us to go to Eastern Market! This was a recommendation from some neighbors and we totally fell in love! We can't wait for the next set of visitors to come so we can take them to this awesome little market! Delicious fruit, pretty homemade crafts and beautiful art! All a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning!



So then Broc went on another business trip and this time I was certainly pleased to go along! We were in Virginia beach a whole week and I soaked up all the sun I could get! Not only did we have a nice long boardwalk to explore complete with giant statutes of Neptune, but we also ended each day with a walk along the beach! It was seriously the most relaxing week of the summer so far! I must admit that getting a job offer on Monday set the week off on a high note! :)

So there you have it folks! A run down of the summer thus far! Stay tuned for a Fourth of July weekend update! We went home with some friends and let's just say it was a weekend to remember! Toodles my noodles as I used to always say! Until next time! Happy blogging!

Crepetastic!

The lovely ladies and I did some crepe cooking a few weekends ago and although it was a fairly simple dinner group compared to the rest...it was spectacular!



We started off with a breakfast crepe complete with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, bacon and Swiss cheese! Talk about a delicious and filling crepe to start off the meal! We then proceeded to do the typical fruit and chocolate sauce filling which of course was to die for as well! To top it all of we made a delicious mango, banana fruit smoothie! Talk about an amazingly easy but oh so delicious, and might I add, crepetastic dinner group for the month of June!



These gals I cook with are gems! I do not lie when I say that I look forward to our crazy cooking adventures every month! Next month's dinner group just can't come soon enough!
