Picnic at the Park

What: A picnic at the park
Why: Spend time together as a family The menu:
*Tuna Fish sandwiches*
*Carrots, cucumber & ranch dip*
*Cherries & Oranges*
*Pink Lemonade*
(Don't playa hate-we don't always eat this healthy)

Me enjoying my grub (thanks Andy for the cute finger nail polish)

Brody muching on a cucumber
Caleb & Carter trying out their new presents from the Stauffer's (my parents)


As we were leaving Carter fell off his new bike for the first time. Our first reaction was to jump up & run over to save him. Then we hear him say in a PROUD voice, "I didn't get nooooo owwieee!"
Over dinner I was telling him what a tough boy he was because he didn't cry & he said "I'm tough mom, I am a Stauffer!" My mom was so proud!

I only know one Stauffer in my life...she's pretty tough. Its just her husband that's a little wimpy...

Still not sure where he came from?

Steph said...

I know you are talking about me.. because I am the toughest Stauffer girl! Carter is soo cute! Katie- were you actually eating the sandwich or just posing? LOL Just kidding!! I love the new layout!

Yeah, you might not always eat that healthy, but you always look great in front of a camera. I think you are the most photogenic person I know. :)

And I love that your son credited his toughness to the Stauffers. If I can ever have kids...I hope they'll give it to my side too...only, I am such a wuss and my husband is such a man. So, it would be funny, but totally untrue!

How fun! I see the sun and the park and wonder what that would be like! It's a balmy 20 degrees right now. You don't even want to go outside! You have such a cute family!

Ok you look so dang cute. Can you say miss photogenic? I want to kiss the lips off your boys. So it looks like you had a fabulous Christmas. So Stew and I are coming down next week for some R&R I would love to get together and go out to lunch.

Love the picnic! You are too cute. Love the trucks the boys got. We got our chairs from toddlerock.com. They are so awesome and this website lets you choose so many different fabrics and colors. They are really well put together.

Missy said...

First...you better get my card in the mail. I mean, it's not like you have your hands full or anything...LOL! When do you find out what #4 is, dying to know. You and Layne and kids are just adorable, love it. I share some of your same goals for 2008 as well...such a couch potato over here!
