Father’s Day

The children helped me make Jon’s Father’s Day gifts. We made him an apron out of an old pair of jeans, and desk top pen holder for his office. I was so excited for Jon to see what we made that I didn’t remember to get pictures of him opening his gifts, or of him and the children together. His birthday is on the 24th so the apron is also his birthday present from us. But I did get some picture of the projects/gifts.

These are the pictures I took to decorate the pen holder. I want to get this blown up for his office so he can see it better, but need to find the “right” frame.

Hope all you Dad’s had an awesome Father’s day!

We had a BIG Kreyling family dinner and as Jon would say “cuteness happened.” I’ll post those pictures later.

do you ever have a moment

of pure idiocy? A total “what the heck was I thinking!” moment? I made this deliciousness. And DELISH it indeed is. Kaylee having food allergies caused me to start making my own (for safety reasons) granola cereal and bars. We both love this stuff. I had not made any for several months so a few days ago I whipped a batch up. Doesn’t it look OH SO YUM-O?


Well we have been enjoying big bowls of this for breakfast. We really love it. Well in all my “brilliance” I forgot that I had recently discovered that Regan is allergic (of course) to oatmeal. He had an awful reaction to the baby oatmeal. He was rashed out head to toe, and got the ever fun butt vomit. So my third morning of having a bowl of granola it dawns on me mid spoonful that Regan’s mystery mouth rash and butt vomit the last couple of days were not in fact a mystery. That they were caused by me! His Mama who just wasn’t thinking! And just as I had this revelation my older sister called me. So she got to hear all about it. And we laughed because what else do you do? I asked Jacck’ee if I should just throw my bowl away, and she said to just finish it as the damage was already done. So I did. And now I watch with envy as Kaylee scarfs down her breakfast granola and tells me, “delish Mama.” I’m not the only one out there that does stuff like this am I? You know have a sleep deprived moment of unthinking idiocy?

one of these things is not like the others

Kaylee did not feel like smiling when I asked her too. She did say,”cheese” and smile lots between flashes. (Of course!)

These lovely ladies came for a lovely visit. I snapped a picture of Aunt Maggie as well, but knew she would prefer I not show it online (It will go in Kaylee’s book). It took Kaylee a bit to fully wake up form her nap and warm up, but then she had fun playing with cousin Kelly. Aunt Maggie got Regan to laugh several times. And Gabby was so fun to talk with. I had so much fun visiting with my Aunt and cousins. My children look extra white next to their Hispanic family. Then again so does their Mama. 😉
