Weekly Happenings: June 27-July 3

I am so happy to see the month of July!  I will get to meet two very special babies this month, my sis is moving back home, and we have our calendar packed full of fun celebrations, things to do, and friends to see!

One of my favorite parts of the week happened last night!  Our friends Candice and Casey came to town and we got to visit with them, have dinner with them, and then go get snow cones together.  The only pictures I have are the dozen or so the kids secretly snapped while we chatted here at home!  Since I value that friendship, I won't post any of the candid pics, but it definitely was a highlight from the week!

Allie wanted to hold Cutie Pie this week. We haven't held the chickens much since they moved into the coop, so they are pretty skiddish around people.  Cutie is always the first to come to people but still is a little uncomfortable getting picked up.  She always does really well though.

After Hayden saw Allie hold a chicken, he couldn't be shown up by a girl, so he went and chased them until he rounded one up!

Charlie is adorable. I love his personality.  I love his quirky behaviors.  I love all his weird poses.  I'm hoping to get a good picture of him doing his kangaroo pose soon!

I made my sisters cinnamon roll recipe this week. I doubled it (since the original recipe makes 6) and we ended up with a tasty breakfast!  I'm anxious to make them again! (The pic below is the cut up version for one of the kids! I forgot to take a picture of it before it was chopped to pieces!)  

Krissy woke up while I was working on the rolls and wanted to help (by playing in the flour).

I also baked up some 4th of July sugar cookies with Krissy!

Kevin has a week off that started yesterday so I'm looking forward to getting a lot checked off our summer fun list this week!  Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend!
