Celebrate!

This Monday, Jeremy and I will celebrate our 7th anniversary. We have had a wonderful 7 years and look forward to many more. We have definitely had some trying times , but we have stood strong in our faith and God seen us through. Thanks Jeremy for being a wonderful husband and a good daddy. I Love You!

Candlelight Breakfast

This morning I made blueberry muffins. We enjoyed them in candlelight. Tucker and Rylee had a fun time. I told Tucker this is so cool he said, "that's not" (pointing to the candle). I just think it is funny how he is beginning to notice that some words have different meanings. Rylee was the last one up from the table. We had a fun morning!

Our computer "guy"

Tucker now enjoys spending a little free time playing the computer. My mom has school with him everyday and then we spend some time in the evenings with him working on his letters. He also enjoys playing Dora's Carnival Game. As you can tell he has a hard time concentrating when Rylee Kate is awake and bothering him. She thought it was so funny the other night grabbing his penguin headphones.

Baking!!!

I know some of you will be surprised, but I am really into baking. I have picked, peeled, cored, and sliced apples until I am sick of it. I have probably froze about 25 quart bags of apples. This summer I was determined I would learn how to make homemade fried apple pies. I am talking from scratch. I did! I don't have pictures, but this past weekend I decided I would teach my self how to make a homemade apple pie. I did take a picture of it and I am very proud of it! I guess I will be busy tomorrow making fried pies for our family Labor Day celebration. Happy Labor Day!

Swimming at Doc's

We spent last Saturday afternoon at my grandfathers house swimming. Tucker and Rylee both love the water. Tucker has learned how to jump off the side and swim under water to the steps without coming up.

Tucker's Talk

Tonight I went to pick Tucker up at my parent's. He was lifting weights. My dad asked,"Emily have you lost weight?" Before I could even answer Tucker handed me his weight and said,"Here Mommy". How cute is that??? Of course he did not come home with me. I think he would live with Doo and Gramps if I would let him.

I'm Alive

I promise I am alive and have planned on submitting a new blog all weekend. We have just been very busy at the Lorenz house. Our church had it's children's consignment sale. We went swimming and just the every day house work. I had Bible Study on Monday night and our Dinner A Fare party was tonight. I got home and made an apple pie for my grandfathers card day(I usually make a dessert for him and his card buddies every other Wednesday). I PROMISE I will post some pics soon of the kids and most importantly my homemade apple pie.
