A Tasty Summer Treat!

A girl in my ward brought this dip/appetizer to a shower and I ended up having seconds! You will have to give it a try. It isn't the prettiest thing all mixed up, but it tastes good.

Cowboy Caviar
1 can white shoe peg corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can black eyed peas, drained
3-5 avocados (diced in little squares)
1 1/2 pkgs of Italian dressing mix (dry)
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
2 T oilve oil
2 T red wine vinegar
juice of 1 fresh lime

Mix all together. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a bag of Big Scoop Fritos!

Fun at the Lake.....

My sister Audrey and I took the boys and a friend to Rigby lake a couple weeks ago. Everyone had a great time splashing in the water, thowing mud balls at each other, and building some amazing volcanos and castles. It doesn't take much to please these little guys! It was a beautiful, hot day at the lake...I got a tan and Audrey got a burn!

Sleep Tight!

When we were young, my sister Audrey, our cousin Allie, and I (and others) were constantly sleeping on the trampline during the summer. We loved it! The scary stories, truth or dare, waking up to the sweating hot sun in the mornings, and being woke up by the crop duster airplane spraying the fields all around us! We had so much fun when we were kids. We had a "neighbor kid" that was usually out there with us. We were not always nice to him, but he sure made it interesting! Those were the days when that seemed a little more normal I think. My boys LOVE sleeping out on the tramp. Jared will sleep out there with them. I get to stay inside in my comfy bed!
What is it with little boys and pictures?? Most of the pictures I take have at least two Bunny Ears or more. And for some reason I think it's funny. I love these boys.
