My first Apple Pie

You would think that since I help my mom with her Catering/Wedding business that I know how to cook. Well I do know how to cook, what I don't know is how to Bake. Today my mom taught me how to make a homemade apple pie from scratch. We had a really great time and the pie turned out really good. It was actually really easy to make your own crust. I assumed that it would take a lot longer than it did. Since Alexis is allergic to cinnamon I made her her own tiny pie without cinnamon. It was really cute. I love that I am able to be close to my mom and that we can share days like this together. She decided she needed to get a picture of me with my leg perched up because I always have my leg up while I am cooking in the kitchen. It's not so weird, my sister Jenn does the same thing!!

Alexis Sings at Math Night

The second gade was selected to sing at Math Night tonight. Alexis is always up for a social event. She loves hanging out with her friends. They were really cute and did a great job.

Megan's Civil War Apple Sauce Cookies

Megan had to make cookies for a Civil War project at school. She decided to make apple sauce cookies. She did a great job. Megan and Alexis both love cooking, something I think they got from their Grandma Cersey.

Baby Tate Arrives

Today we got to go visit baby Tate at the hospital. The girls were so excited they couldn't stand it. They have been waiting for him for months. Sis, (Jana Waisath Houghtelling) is a friend of mine that I have know since I was a kid. When I had my girls she was their official babysitter. My girls love Sis and were so excited about baby Tate. When Sis goes back to work I will be taking care of Tate and I can't wait. I love him already.

Megan starts 5th grade chorus!

She has practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:45. She is so excited for this. She has a beautiful voice and I can't wait to go hear her sing. We are very proud of Megan!

Patrick Andrade's Birthday

Today we had the Andrade's over to celebrate Patrick's birthday. Patrick, Esther, Gabby and Natalia came. We love the friendship we have made with the Andrade's and will forever love their family. We always have fun when they are around and we spend most of our time laughing. The Andrade's are huge Miami fans so I decided to make Patrick and "U" cake. He was pretty excited and it turned out great. What a fun day this was.

Picking Apples on Labor Day

The kids had school off today for Labor Day so we decided to go up to Blue Ridge and pick apples. The Cano's joined us. Albert's brother Manuel and his family were visiting from Mexico so they came along as well. We had a fun time and the kids enjoyed picking and eating the apples. After we were all done we had a picnic outside on the lawn. We had a really fun day.
