Grocery Shopping Playdate (Katelyn's first time in a car cart!)

Don't Shoot Me!

Greyson got two little water guns for going poop on the potty. He was so excited about them, especially when we showed him how they work. Anyways, I thought it would be the perfect play date thing. Preston came over and the boys had tons of fun. They mostly just shot trees and ants, but it was still adorable.

Daddy's Little Helper

Most evenings after dinner Luke and Greyson do a little project together. It almost always includes screws and the screwdriver, because that just happens to be Greyson's tool of choice. I find it pretty adorable.

Btw, somewhere between the second picture and the rest....he lost his pants. Not really sure what happened there. =)

The Three of Us

Luke started a blog (I think I might be rubbing off on him). Well, that really isn't correct because he has had a blog for quite some time, but I like to think I rub off on him. Make sense? Anyways, he started a house blog with the intent to document the changes we make to the house along the way. He is way behind, but I love the idea. In the very back of my head, there is a little voice that says "Hey, if you're good enough at documenting maybe you get sponsors...blah...blah..blah". I know I'm kidding myself, but I still love the idea for just seeing how far we come while we are at this house.

If you're interested you can follow along on the journey.

Just because I can't post without pictures. =)

The Most Amazing Brownies EVER!

This brownie was amazing! Seriously, the best brownie Luke and I have ever tried. I love brownies (just the plain old kind), but the butter, sugar, caramels and pretzels took the plain old brownies to a whole new level. I may never go back. AMAZING!

Ingredients
Favorite Brownie Mix (I used Betty Crocker)
Your favorite mix ins (I used Caramel Bits)
3 cups of crushed pretzels
1 cup melted butter
5 tbsp sugar

2. Next prepare your brownie batter (with your favorite mix ins, such as chocolate chips and caramel bits) as instructed on the box. Spread your brownie batter onto the pretzel crust.

We really liked this dish. It is definitely savory, so a salad is a great side for it.
