nachos, baby

uncle rob makes the most amazing nachos...homemade. he brought a huge pan of them on monday and seriously, you would have thought we hadn't eaten in weeks...they were DEVOURED in about 10 minutes. so, i called the baum household for a few tips and tried it myself (with the help of my much-wanted mother's day gift...a deep-fryer). so, mady, ben and i made them...pretty good, lois, if you ask me ;)

memorial day picnic 5-31-10

happy birthday yesterday, ed!

"Daddy, LISTEN to me!"





love the little tongue

Every year when our kids were growing up, my mother-in-law would have a Polar Bear Club. They'd open their pool just before Memorial Day and it would be SO cold! All the kids would line up on the side of the pool and when she blew her whistle they'd all jump in. They all got ribbons for 'great job' or 'i'm special', but what they really wanted to do was to be the first one in~a very high honor.
Well, since they moved and don't have their pool anymore, since we've been swimming for over a month, and since ours is heated and warm, she announced this year it would be the Smokey Bear Club. Soooo...the kids all lined up and waited for the whistle. And waited. And waited.
She had brought an old horn that used to be above her fireplace but it seems sometime during the move that it QUIT WORKING! (at least that's what the blower said). Keep trying Dad! ;)

Hey, Steven! 5-27-10

Here I am washing windows. Even after I gave him Windex and a roll of paper towels for his birthday because he PROMISED to clean the water splashes from the pool off of my windows...

Feeling any guilt, mister? Didn't think so.
