Summer Update

on July 30, 2012

I can’t believe Aug. 1st is this Wednesday! The summer is flying by and we have been on the move! Last week, Dean and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary and my parents also came to visit to celebrate my Dad’s 60th Birthday.

For the occasion, I made my dad a special Graham Cracker Cream Pie that his mother always used to  make for him on his birthday.

Here we are, displaying the pie! I “practiced” making the pie a few weeks ago and I think it turned out really well. The recipe dates back to 1949.

If you would like the recipe, let me know and I will send it to you!

We spent our weekend at the Lake Erie Islands, taking in the sunsets and a carnival that was in town.

Blake rode some rides…

…and tried cotton candy for the first time!

Sunday night, Dean and I went to the Brothers of the Sun Tour at Browns Stadium and saw Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. It was amazing and the perfect night for an outdoor concert!

Here I am, in my concert gear, showing off my six month baby bump!

We’ve got a busy week ahead and I hope to order Blake’s “big boy” furniture sometime this week. I’ll let you know what we decide.

My mom always says August reminds her of a big, long Sunday and that’s how I feel as we approach this “last” month of summer. We have so much to do before the hectic fall days begin and I also feel the need to do as much outside as we can!

  1. You look great. The pie looks good. Is it coconut.

    Unfortunately, I cannot leave comments on your blog anymore with my e-mail. It has to do with the fact that I have messed up something with wordpress/gravatar, and I thought the passwords were the same, but something messed up. I write for a wordpress blog, and I don’t want to use that in fear of messing something up. I”m just confused so this will have to do.
