Meal Planning

I am really bad at this but I felt inspired by sister's dinner the other day so I am going to copy her and make that tomorrow and plan out the next few days as well- So here it goes:

Grilled Pineapple Tacos

Mexican Tortilla salad

Lettuce wraps

Gluten free blueberry muffins with sausage and eggs

Grilled Flank Steak Oven nachos

grilled corn on the cob, sliced strawberries and salad

Niagra Falls

It was beautiful and magnificent, I loved it! Cooper especially loved it, he went to the 5th deck (the soak deck) 3 times. Uncle Jake was sweet enough to indulge my adventure boy!

A little something I needed to hear today...

"Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight."
— Gordon B. Hinckley

Hill-Cumorah

What sacred grounds....I am so grateful I was able to visit and take my children there.

Moving Along

Movers come in a month.....NOT READY....I repeat...I AM NOT ready.

Is....

The Sacred Grove still sacred when your one year old does this in it??

Waldons Ponds and Kimballs Icecream

I couldn't decide what I liked more....The beauty of the pond or the yummy homemade icecream. I got the coconut chocolate chip almond icecream, it was amazing, but it was so big (I got the small size) It took me 2 days to eat it.

Minute Man Bridge and the Concord Cemetary

Minute Man Bridge is a state park home to where the "shot was heard around the world" and where the Red Coats met with the colonists for the first real battle of the the revolution. Not too far away in Lexington is where the rest played out. It was so neet to climb the hill where the Colonists came down to meet the British.

Is it creepy that I think that cemetaries are so interesting? This one was a little creepy it was called the "Sleepy Hollow Cemetary". We were the only ones in their and there was rolling hills with big trees and rows and rows of graves. The Alcott family as well as Nathanial Hawthorne, Emmerson and Thoreau were all buried pretty close together in what is called, "Authors Ridge".

Louisa May Alcott's Home

I may be lame, but this was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Concord and see the "Little Women's home" See where Marmie sat, where Louisa wrote her books, See Mays Paintings, and where they put on their productions. I just loved it, and tried to soak it all in. I saw a picture of Bronson Alcott sitting at that exact tree on a bench just like we did. I had visions of them walking the same grounds as we did, and imagined the great thinkers that came to their house.

T-BALL

A few weeks ago Cooper had his first t-ball game. Lets just say boy meets t-ball and now loves t-ball. Just like Uncle Colby, Kyle and Grandpa Ricky.
