Oh yeah I have a blog! Lincoln's Birthday, 4th of July and Camping.

By
Yes, I'm still alive! It's been pretty busy and we are in the midst of summer but I've just been taking time to take care of the kiddos and myself and get things back on track. We just got back from a much needed vacation, some camping, some birthdays and some other life stuff that got in the way of blogging. But here we are. Hopefully I won't be reposting any ideas or pictures but it's been so long since I've posted things are already fuzzy :) We started of July pretty wild! 

Lincoln and Dylan were wrestling around with each other and some how Lincoln's arm got hurt. After X-rays and hours in the ER nothing was really confirmed and he got a splint wrapped arm and a sling for a few days. 


The cool X-ray of his bones, he was so excited to see what things looked like on the inside.

Daddy met us after he got off work and helped walk Lincoln out.

Luckily having one arm didn't keep him from doing much. He still wanted to try and help mop.

And he was still curious. Here he is using his foot to hold a padlock and a key with the other hand.

But don't worry, Lincoln turned three very happily. We had a fun day and even did fireworks a day early to celebrate.

It was pretty cold and windy so we bundled up to watch fireworks. Don't worry, the weather didn't seem to keep him from peeing in the bushes.

Shane took the day after the 4th off, so we had a nice long weekend and went camping. We invited up 4 other families and my in-laws as well and hand a great time enjoying the great outdoors and celebrating Lincoln's birthday. He wanted an American flag cake so I delivered, with blueberries and red sprinkles on vanilla frosting. We also had sliced watermelon and ice cream to round out the party.


Lincoln had a ton of presents and loved all the cool stuff he got. 


 I love how great Lincoln is when he smiles!

Oh wait I have other kids too. Here all the kids are, with the boys all in the same bright colors each day so it was just a little bit easier to find them and make sure no one wandered off throughout the weekend. Danielle was able to come up and hang out too so we always love having her around (and yes I am wearing a Darth Vader voice changing mask in this picture). 

Slightly blurry but a cute picture of the boys. 

My little three year old cheese ball. 

We found a shallow stream to play in and the kids loved wading around the the ice cold water. 

 Yet another peeing venture in the bushes. 

 My sissy came out for the day, unfortunately this is really the only picture I have of her and Lukey being there. 

Shane and Warner hanging out around the campfire. Too bad you still have to take naps in the wild. 

Too bad there is always proof of eating dirt. 

 The boys love sharing the same bed, too bad they don't always give each other that much room. 

 Free Sluprees at 7-11. Took the kids and two kids Danielle was babysitting to get them, whoohoo!

 Warner loved the icy cold slush, his hair had a great time in the wind ;)

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?

What the Happenings

By
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 ...

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...
