This here cookbook is the reason for my massive summer weight gain.  But was it worth it?  Oh definitely yes!  From the tons of guacamole that we made to the red velvet cake that weighed a ton, it was all so good and so worth the cost of bigger jeans.  You should check her out at thepioneerwoman.com (if you dare, lol).

This is why we need to get back on schedule.  Five days in Fargo followed by an afternoon visiting Josh at his rig leads to a little girl who is so overtired she can't stop crying, not even for oreo dessert.  It was a quick bath and straight to bed for this little one.  I hope that getting back on schedule tomorrow puts her in a better mood!

Can you see the guy up there?  He's in the derrick and let me tell you it is a long way up there!  Today we went to visit Josh at his rig.  We were pretty excited to get to see them pulling pipe.  We have heard about it alot since Josh used to work up in the derrick so to see it up close was fun.

She was so tired!  If you look close enough, I think you can even see the drool coming out of her mouth.

Tami picked up Emily and Grace for softball practice this evening and I kept Chloe and Ava here to play with my girls.  I definitely got the better deal.  The girls watched part of a movie, played doll house in the bedroom, and then played hide and seek until Tami got back.  I got my entire cd/dvd cupboard cleaned out and organized!

The girls had a great time today playing with their cousin Nick.  We haven't seen him since last summer so it was great to see how much he has grown and changed in the last year.  He adjusted well to spending time with all of these girl cousins!
