Here are some pictures of Jared's birthday party. We had it on Monday afternoon and took his friends to see Kung Fu Panda. He had a lot of fun and was happy with everything he got. He is now 8 years old! I really can't believe how fast time goes by. It's truly amazing to me that I have 11, 8 and 6 year old boys. What happened? The boys have been having a great time at Camp St. Luke. They are really liking the cooking class. Last Thursday night Jared and Aaron had to make us pigs in a blanket, corn and brownies for supper. They love to cook! I told Caleb that I would like to have him start learning to cook this summer also. I sat him down with my cookbooks and let him pick several recipes to cook for supper. He chose a Mozzarella Meatloaf, peas and mayo, corn and made iced pineapple squares. He wrote out the grocery list and I took him to shop for everything he needed. He kept telling me that he didn't need icing stuff for the pineapple squares because you put them in the freezer. I FINALLY figured out that he thought "ICED" pineapple squares were frozen! Hee Hee I love it! That my friends, is why you need to cook with your kids. Otherwise, you have your kids moving away from home and having to call you to see how to fry chicken! (OK this is an inside joke with Kim P. She called her Mom and had her listen to her chicken cooking over the phone to see what was wrong with it. Turns out Kimberly didn't put oil in the pan! I love that story) Actually, I stole the whole kids cooking idea from my sister in law Cathy. She used to have her kids cook one night a week for the family. I love this idea! That way with three kids one of these days I will only have to cook 4 nights a week! I didn't get any pictures of the kids cooking this time around because I was busy making sure we didn't cut off any fingers. I will snap some next time around. Well, in a few days we will be off to children's camp in Mason. I can't wait! I'm really very tired of waiting and preparing for it. I'm just ready for it to get going! Aaron is going to stay with Me-Maw and can't wait. She has been having a lot of trouble with her wrist and is going to the doctor. I hope she is feeling well enough for a 6 year old invasion! I'll post all the excited camp pictures next week! Hope you are all well and enjoying summer! Cook, swim, laugh, and enjoy life!
Love you all!

I MISS YOU!!!!!!!! Perhaps I will get the 'Study' all cleaned out next week while you are gone then you can come over and we'll Paint! What color? Well how about whatever color we feel will look best with the other colors on our paint shorts?
Audrey made PBJ's and corn dogs for the brothers yesterday. She was so proud of herself.
And hey Kim......I called my Granny frequently to remind me how to boil eggs! I actually boiled eggs last week and started for the phone to ask her again how long. Then remembered she's been gone for 3 years.
JJ - Have a terrific time at Camp!
i just love that story. feel free to use it anytime. i think that is one of the best stories i have.
however i did luck out in the cooking department with my children. they both love to cook. hannah loves it especially.
i have many talents, cooking just happens not to be one of them.
thanks amy, for trying to make me feel better.
