To Daddy, Our Love! Cousins at the playground

This day at the park was a day or two after we arrived. It was very hot, to say the least!! Thankfully we brought Jackson's igloo cooler with cold water, otherwise the kids would have had to go home earlier. They played tag, which amazed me, since it was so hot. But after the excitement of the game melted away, I dare say, they began feeling the heat oh so much. Consequently, we packed everybody up in our van and went home soon after the game ended. It was so funny when the girlies hair was all staticy. I had a few more pics, but I could barely see what I was taking a picture of b/c the sun was so bright, I couldn't see the screen on the cam. Anyways, these are the first installments of pictures.

Cipher, a coded friend

Here is our new pet, Cipher. After the arduous task of picking a name it was finally finalized. I really should have kept track of all the suggestions. It's quite comical when children try to choose names for a pet. We had Atlantis as the name for a few minutes, then Harrison came up with Cipher. I guess a little too much National Treasure......heh heh.

...and football's the game.

Our neighbors kindly gave us two Edmonton Eskimo preseason game tickets. It was Pierce's turn to go. I can't tell you how excited he was!!! I haven't seen him that excited in a while. It was such a blessing! Here are some of the pics they took. They set off fireworks whenever a player scored a touchdown. He had such a great time with his dad!!!!

Baby Takes First Steps- The Daily Dubitz

While others, this time of year, are dashing to the academic finish line, we turn now to another strange phenomenon occurring simultaneously. Feats of developemental advancements are making great strides in the Dubitz household. Mitchum, 13 months on the 26th, is holding his head high, flexing his newly acquired achievement with an advantageous exuberence. Let's see how others feel about this manifested, marked milestone.............. In my opinion, it's a huge "step forward".:P

"Walk this Way"

Yes, our "Meetchum-boy" as Kennedy calls him, is taking his first steps. But when I say first steps.......it's amazing how fast it went from first few steps to many steps. "All in a good days work"..........says Mitch.:P Once he got a hold of taking steps he just keeps at it. He LOVES the praise he gets from it, no doubt! Wouldn't surprise us if he's gonna be running real soon, too.
Anyways........for the fam.:D LOVE YA!

Open Season 2 - Mr Weenie

I can soooo relate! (sigh) Food allergies can be tough vhen you are veak. We LOVE the "soooo gooood" part. We say it all the time around our place!!! Although, we know, through the Lord's help we can over come.

History can certainly be fascinating, but more so, the connections you make with it.

Too Funny

Long sigh........I love my Mitchum-boy.

Strawberry Milk, Anyone????

As a child I LOVED Strawberry Quik (not that we were able to purchase it often). I LOVED chocolate milk,too, but sometimes I wanted a lighter tasting something ( not realizing why at the time). So strawberry milk was just the thing.

I now, with my children, LOVE making things for them that I liked but healthier. We also LOVE to make the Sabbath Day ( Sunday) a delight in every way. So this last Lord's Day we had one of those plastic clam shells filled with BIG, JUICY, RED strawberries ( you know what I'm talking about. (wink))..........anxiously waiting to be experimented with.......So in they went into the blender (although we made this in batches). Spinning whole strawberries; when complete, a ruddy wine. In went two pinches of brown sugar ( b/c I can't stand for something NOT to taste good, even if I've never made it before), and before long.......a stream of cream ( milk) followed by a stream of soy milk. Although we can't do the cream too much ( for numerous reasons) it just added another creamy depth (even though soy milk is very creamy and thick, especially when blended. It froths up nicely). Strain and pour into a very BIG cup!!!! Try not to use the excuse when driking,"I'm just making sure it's gonna taste good enough for you."

I'm sure you could add some vanilla, but I wanted to taste the pureness of strawberries and cream.

As well, I'm sure this is nothing new, just a thinned out, strained out version of a shake, but I do like the change in texture of this strawberry milk.

I just saw a recipe for strawberry milk by making a syrup out of fresh strawberries and then adding it to milk. I'm sure I'll try that, too, but I kind of like to keep my strawberries raw.

FYI: Strawberries contain more vita. C than oranges!!!:D

Anyways...........That's what we made for Sunday breakfast..........and now........TODAY!!! hehehe

Happy drinking.:(D <- milk mustache
