Foodies For Life

If you know our family, you know we are foodies, and you KNOW we LOVE meat! Kevin attempted his first Brisket this weekend and it did not disappoint. He smoked 2 huge briskets for 15 hours. It was seriously the best bbq I've ever had an am very lucky to have a husband who is so cood at preparing amazing meals. (Since I seriously lack in that area)
P.S. They are not burnt...thats the bark (mostly charred fat)...and what makes it SO YUMMY.




Speaking of foodies...today we went the the IE Food Truck Fest to celebrate Father's Day in our favorite way...Eating!! Here are a few of my favorite foods for the day

Rajas Fries from the Fry Smith Truck

Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos from the Lime Truck

Spicy Tuna Chips from the Rolling Sushi Truck (sorry for the horrible pic...sticky food lens)

And the Ultimate Desert: Waffle and Chocolate Ice Cream sandwich (with Nutella spead all over the waffle of course)


Here was the kids favorite

And here they are working all those calories off at the kid gym...yes you heard me...the kid work out area! (Watch your kid work out while you consume massive amounts of calories...only at a foodie fest)

Craft Fair and other Crafty business

On June 4th, I did the Kissui Craft Fair. I did so much better than I could have imagined and cannot believe what my little side business has turned into. Here is my set up.

End of the year presents for Olivias Teachers


My first attempt at pants for Baby Kanno

Olivia is done with Preschool

Ahh...bitter sweet. I am SO SAD preschool is over for her. She had such an amazing time this year. She loved her teacher Mrs. C, and especially her teachers aid, Mrs. Davidson. When we drove away on the last day of school, she was all pouty when we got home. When I asked her what the matter was, she said "I am really going to miss Mrs. Davidson every day of my whole life" She really did lover her...and I could tell the feeling was mutual.



The end of the year "graduation" was amazing. Each class got up and sang a song. Then got presented with their completion certificate. There was a slide show with pictures from the whole year, and at the end of the slide show, there was a picture with each "graduate" with their name under it. Totally cute.







Then there was a picnic,. And the teacher gave back all sorts of fun art projects, their letter book, and a cd with 800 pictures of the class over the year. So awesome. LOVE First Lutheran Children's Center and loved her teacher Mrs. C. Toby will be able to have her next year and I couldn't be any happier.
