Happiness is ...{{Cooking with Oma}}

My daughter  has fallen in love--- with cooking!!

This is really the best way to learn...at the feet of a master- what was really funny-was she did it all while wearing Oma's shoes-

~~~She literally was trying to fill her shoes!!!~~~

Here's where the truth will show... DOES OPA LIKE IT???????

HE DID!!!!!!

=^D

~FLIPPING OUT~~

My daughter had been in gymnastics starting at age 3-- this year with the USA Olympics Gymnastics team  performing as great as they did-- her new goal is to now make it to the 2020 games- I'm not one to squash dreams -but I don't think she REALLY know how much work goes into training--but she has been  flipping hopping and tumbling every free moment she has.

KOOKING WITH KAYLEIGH SWEET TREAT

Kayleigh decided to make a berry trufle inspired snack.  Berry trifle is made with frozen berries or preserves, purchased short bred cookies, and vanilla pudding.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of Shortbread cookies
• 1 package  frozen (or fresh if in season) raspberries, blackberries or  strawberries
• 1 package  vanilla pudding
• milk or in this case we used Almond Breeze
• sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping

She whipped up the pudding  and set it in the fridge to

settle...then called some friends to come over and enjoy the goodies too.

They made layers of the short bread...she smartly though putting the cookie in a baggie and

smashing it to bits--REALLY she just like the though of pounding the - out of something! ~ LOL~

WW ~Beach Fun 2012~

A trip out to  the beach is always fun!

no fun until someone gets barred in the sand

a bite to eat complete with pesty bird!!!!

Then back into the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

took this shot last year... it become my summer screen saver!!



Although this shot may take its  place this year ...

Happiness is.....{{CLAY MAKING}}

Earlier this week while reading  Green Eggs & Moms  my kids saw a great clay-doh recipe they  had to run and see that we had all the makings in the kitchen (WHEW WE DID!) They had SO much fun making it!! Making clay dough with your child is fun and simple. The ingredients needed are:

• 1/4 cup salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup flour
• food coloring

lets begin!!!

waiting for his turn...
