It's not technically Las Vegas, but it's as close as your going to get while keeping that smaller town community feel.

...the girls got really excited when I told them we were stopping by Starbucks on the way to school. We used to go every morning, and they'd always get a croissant, but I had to give it up due to frequent migraines. I love the way Char says "croissant", so I made her keep saying it over and over. ...we met the Unertls at Grimaldi's for dinner on Monday and had fun pretending like it was a Friday night dinner and they still lived here. ...the girls insisted on driving by the "dinosaur house" on the way home from school Tuesday. ...Noah taught Grace how to play baseball, and she hit the ball on her first try. ...we went to dinner at Ventano with my family, and Chase was obsessed with the girls' Sulley headphones. As usual, Grace and Charley got giant bowls of ice cream with all the fixings. ...we had dance class Wednesday. Char has fun doing her own thing most of the time as she's the youngest one in...

My Biggest Accomplishment

Last year on Mother's Day, Charley was twelve days old. Our usual Mother's Day tradition of walking around Art Fest on Water Street wasn't going to happen, so we decided to spend the day at home instead. This year, we made sure to get back to the usual routine. We invited Kim and Elijah to come with us, so we could get some time in with her for Mother's Day as well. We headed down there Sunday morning after our usual Coffee Cup breakfast. I was surprised that it was much smaller than usual, but we still had fun despite the blazing heat .

One of my favorite parts every year is the artists drawing such detailed pictures with ch...

For the past few weeks, Kasie and I have been trying out new recipes every Friday night. We look through cookbooks and search online for recipes that sound delicious. Someday, we are going to have our very own cooking show called 'KC in the Kitchen' on the Food Network, so make sure you keep yours eyes out for it so you can TiVo us! This week we decided to try out some seafood. I have this awesome cookbook that has recipes for every season. One of the winter recipes is for Sole with Lemon Butter Sauce. Looks amazing, right? We decided to make some grilled veggies to go with it. We marinated those in lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh basil. Isaac was in charge of those. Kasie chopped up the lemons to go on top of the fish. I watched them to make sure they didn't burn. The Sole turned out pretty good. I wasn't a huge fan due to the muddy taste. It sort of resembled catfish, but it looked pretty :) We need to get some matching aprons so we look real...
