Summer Hair

Izzy donated 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love today. What a great excuse for a darling summer haircut!

I Scream, You Scream...

We all scream for ice cream!
We just did a really fun project, and it worked so well I thought I'd share the recipe. Everyone gets to make their own ice cream--you could get pretty creative, I'm sure. We just stuck to regular old chocolate and vanilla, but it was really good! We'll make it again for sure.

1/2 C milk
1 T sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla (or other flavoring of choice)
Add whatever you'd like: strawberry jam, chocolate or caramel syrup, raspberries, mini chocolate chips, etc.

Place all ingedients into a pint size freezer bag and seal well.

Fill a gallon size freezer bag half way with ice and 6 T of rock salt.

Place the pint size bag into the gallon size bag and seal tight.

Place in a sweatshirt or towel and shake, shake, shake!

It will turn into ice cream in about 3-5 minutes.

Get a spoon and eat it right out of the bag. Too much fun!

Caution: Falling Trees

It's hard to spot him at first, but Luke is up the tree with the chain saw. Mark is at the end of the rope pulling the top down. It worked perfectly! They made short work of the rest of the tree and it was cleaned up in no time. Awesome...one more project down!

Ragnar Relay

I don't have any photos to post from the Wasatch Back--I totally forgot to send the camera with Luke. He and his team did so great, though, and hopefully they will share some pictures! They all did amazing. I am so impressed with all of them, and I know Luke had a blast. Great job, Goonies! You are all rock stars!

I Know...Enough, Already!

Sorry. I couldn't help posting one more photo of the backyard. Luke mowed the lawn for the first time today, and I think it looks awesome!

Ta-dah!

Luke was ready for the sod as soon as it was delivered and got started right away. Dylan thought it was awesome, and Izzy was in charge of taking pictures because I was at work. She did a great job!

We owe our fabulous friends a huge THANK YOU for all the help. It is so nice to look out the window and see green grass! We couldn't have done it without you guys, so thanks for everything!


One project down, fifteen to go...

Green!

Our sod is going to be delivered on Monday. I can't wait to see the end of this project and enjoy our backyard!
