Tulip Festival

While Bart was gone I also met up with two of my best friends since High School and headed off to the Tulip Festival.

Warning: this is a post about the Tulip Festival, so you're not interested in seeing lots of pictures of flowers just stop reading now. ;o)

The best part of the whole trip was that there was nobody waiting at home for us, so we could just stay as long as we wanted without worrying about being late. And we did. We got there around 10:30 and stayed until like 6:00 visiting! It was awesome! I love the Tulip Festival.

Suckers

My friend gave us sucker molds and an awesome easy sucker recipe to go along with them. When I saw the molds, though, I set my heart on making some chocolate suckers. So the week that Bart was out of town at an NAEA conference, Addison & I gathered supplies, and made some beautiful butterfly suckers.

Ready....Set...

Go!

Beautiful, Fun, and Tasty.

Braids

One morning Addison woke up and the first thing she said to me was, "Mom, I want braids today." Are you kidding me? Have you seen your own hair child!?! Impossible! Nevertheless, I gave her braids that day. I know, I know, very impressive. The things we do for our kids.

Sydney

On the way home from California we got to meet our new niece.

By the way Rebecca, EVERY PRAYER Addison reminds us to pray for McKenna, Sydney, Rebecca & Chris. I love that little girl.
