Planning for the unexpected

By
No I guess you can't plan for the unexpected but I like my day to have a little more wiggle room in it than some people who like to schedule everything. We have a whole lot of nothing planned all the time and luckily that works for us. Today I decided we should go out and water the garden before Lincoln went down for his afternoon. That lead to us picking our first zucchini of the season (yes it's late, we didn't plant until July 2nd so we are getting a late start in the garden game). Dylan was a good helper and watered all the flowers by the front door and then we decided to water the back lawn which led to an impromptu run through the sprinklers with our clothes on. and yes, all of us ran through them. Lincoln actually wasn't too scared and enjoyed getting a little wet and the dog even had fun trying to eat the water. Once we were nice and soaked and grassy the boys had a quick bath which also led to me cleaning and rearranging the master bath while they squirted each other. I got Lincoln out and Dylan was ready too and decided to try to climb around the tub and he slipped and hit his head and scratched his arm on the faucet. Everyone is ok and resting or sleeping now which is nice for mommy to get some things done around this crazy place. We have been so busy with vacations, hanging out with the family, Shane has been getting the house prepped for painting (hopefully finished before the last week of August so we can sit back and enjoy our 3rd anniversary) and Danielle just went back to her moms for a few weeks. Ah summer. One month left of this craziness and then we get back to the school schedule which is sounding a little enticing yet sad at the same time.

    Ohhh, such a fun day but I'm sorry Dylan hit his head. I hope he's ok. Please give him a little kiss on his forehead for me.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

What the Happenings

Lincoln tried out Play-Doh for the first time a while ago. He really liked breaking it up into tiny pieces and trying to put it back in the container. And he didn't try to put it in his mouth too many times. As you can tell by the picture he got tired out from all the creativity pretty quickly so we'll try it again when he has a little more vigor for the squishy stuff. I think this picture is from our drive over to Richland a few weeks ago. We headed over there to visit Shane's grandma and the a bbq at his brothers house. The kids love pictures of themselves and Danielle took this picture of the both of them.  Waiting to get Shane's winter tires on the jeep, Lincoln had fun checking out the giant tires at Les Schwab. There was one big enough he could crawl into but he wasn't a fan of being shoved in there. He loves to climb and explore and get himself stuck, but only on his own accord. He does not like authority trying to tell him what to do (gee I wonder where ...
