Fun Fridays: Cooking

I'm really behind in posting, but a couple of weeks ago for Fun Fridays the boys did a cooking lesson. We made one of my friends' recipes for Homemade Tortillas.

Ingredients:

 

After making a batch of tortillas, we used them to make tortilla pizzas and dessert pizzas.

Sam liked the pizzas best, but Michael's favorite was, as always, dessert!

Bungee Jumping, Ax Throwing, Kayaking...oh my!

Birthday Celebrations

Michael accidentally told Tera what her present was, so she was feigning excitement over "what could this be?"

I Spy with my Lego Eye

Our local library hosts a LEGO contest twice a year. None of the builds can be from a kit or online instructions.  They must be an original design.   Michael has entered several times:  Lego Contest:  Plaza Pandemonium; It's a Winner and done a great job.  Every time the competition is stiffer and he has to work harder to place.  

We talked a lot about how doing your best and working hard makes you a winner already, but that it IS nice to be recognized and affirmed at something you feel you are good at doing.  

The interactive element to his design was new this time...

The "First Place" in his age category and "Funniest Design" winner....

Happy Birthday, Tera!

Happy Birthday to the one that made me a mother for the first time.  

To the sweetest girl in the world that loves wholeheartedly and is always looking to serve those around her... 

To the best daughter that has shone brightly in our lives since the moment you were born...

To the best sister that never lets her brothers get away with anything but is always making them treats and looking out for them...

To the most loyal friend you will ever have...

To the hardest working girl that has made herself indispensable in her workplace and is rocking her first semester in college...

To the sold-out follower of Jesus that always strives to know Him more...

We love you more than words can ever say or actions could ever prove, sweetest of daughters!

Happy Birthday!
