Multi-Purposing

We have been very busy around here. I promise I will blog every day for the remaining week. I will be uploading some pictures tonight.

So, anyways....Harper LOVES to color. And she also loves to sort things and transfer her toys to different bag/boxes/etc. So what do you get when you combine the two?!?!

Did you know that a Coke bottle can also be a crayon box?!?! In Harper's world it can be!

Grilling Secrets

Tonight for supper we grilled burgers and zucchini - it was delicious! Here are a few tips for grilling:

ZUCCHINI:

Cut the zucchini into thin slices, leaving the skin on.

Marinate in Italian dressing for 30 minutes.

Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, just until grill marks appear and edges start to crisp.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

*It is amazing! Even Adam liked it!

BURGERS:

Using a handheld grater, grate about 1/4 small onion into burger.

Mix well.

*The onion gives the burger great flavor and keeps the burger very moist!

Bridal Shower

Adam, Harper and I are all in a wedding this fall for one one of my BFF's from high school. Harper and I headed to Des Moines on Saturday for Abby's very first bridal shower. It was so much fun catching up with her and her family and the other bridesmaids. We can't wait for October! The above picture is Harper and the other flower girl, Amyra. Amyra is about 6 months older than Harper; they will have so much fun together!

The picture below is Abby with all of her bridesmaids (minus one that couldn't make it). No, I'm not pregnant - just need to go on a DIET. The dress and/or my positioning is not flattering one bit! Check back later this week to hear about my latest weight loss plan ;)
