Feeding the teams

I didn't get any pictures of the women's team meal... dang!
But here are a few from the men's.
And the first few... of my kids are because they were so stinking helpful!! Holy moly. Monday we fed the girls, I went shopping for food at 10, got home at 11, unpacked, ate lunch and started cooking at 12... I didn't finish until they arrived at 5:45. And then the next day I got to do it all over again. And my boys were so super helpful. They cleaned and brought up chairs and tables. I couldn't have done it without them!

We're back... Again...

It's her favorite... and all too soon she will be in school all day and we won't get to just run down to the pretzel maker for lunch. I already miss her and she isn't gone yet. I'm already crying about my baby being gone all day and she isn't gone yet!! September needs to take forever getting here.

Papa Murphy's Field Trip

I love going on field trips with this girl. This one was so much fun. They got to wear aprons and chef hats and then they learned all about making pizza and they even got to make their own little pizza!

They got to make dough and Sydney helped dump in the mix.

They have a machine that rounds the dough into balls. Here's Sydney throwing her dough in.

Making her pizza!

Spring Break Food!! Mmmmm ....and Sydney sleeping

After the zoo we went out to eat. We found this pizza place, The pizza Studio. It was exactly like this place Heidi had told me about!!--only a different place. And it was so yummy. We got 3 pizzas. Meat for Jeff and Landon. Cheese for Seth and Sydney. And then I got to be creative! I had a rosemary crust, alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, purple olives-which taste like green olives, banana peppers, and chicken. It was so so so so so yummy. Tim is such a trooper, he had a piece of all three!

Right next to the pizza studio was The Sweet Tooth Fairy. They've won cupcake wars 3 times! I had this amazing cookie that is probably two days worth of points. But it was serious goodness.

And this sweet girl was pooped after a day of fun. She slept most of the way home. Such a fun trip!

My FAVORITE

Yum. It's seriously the very best pizza on the planet. Maybe I should just say best food. Artichokes and olives and banana peppers... which may not sound like anything amazing until you eat it and then... mmm... so so good!

Fara's Cake

Really this post should be titled "Jen's cake". Haha. I was telling my sweet Fara how  my mom and I used to go to the grocery store together and come home with a German chocolate cake. I told her it had big chocolate dollops all around it and it was delicious. 

Fara makes one mean German Chocoloate cake. 

For Christmas she made me one, just like mom and I used to buy at the store... only it was probably a million times yummier. Homemade. And so so good. 

I should have taken a picture of it when she first brought it. It was so pretty. But I didn't... this is the last slice. I rather enjoyed it. :) 

Thanksgiving Part 5: The Habanero

Uncle Rhett grew habanero peppers this year.

And these crazy kids all decided to try one.

Logan, Landon and Taylor all ate a whole one.

Youch!

Water, milk, bread, sugar--none of it really helped with the burn.

Tim ate a slice and that was enough for him!

Dinner with the Team

$246 will feed a soccer team, a coach, his wife and their 4 kids one meal. :)

It was a whole lot of food! I didn't even get pictures of the burgers, sausages, or salads I made.

Eric and Devin were the first to our house and Eric soon became the boys new favorite. He went right out and jumped with them.

Our basement is so fun! It makes my heart happy. After dinner half the team went downstairs. We had boys on the Wii, playing air hockey and darts.

Vitor cracked me up, sitting in Sydney's little princess chair.
