Milk, it does a body good or not.
I have small dilemma, Iam quite particular about the boys drinking organic milk. I don't buy a lot of organic things but I do buy the milk. I just don't like the fact that regular milk is packed full of anti-biotics and growth hormones. I have heard a lot of speculation about the reason girls are going through puberity so early is from the growth hormones in milk. Yikes. So my dilemma is organic milk cost $5.69 a gallon and regular milk right now costs $1.77.........yeah I know. This wouldn't be a big deal if I was buying a gallon or two a week but the boys go through a gallon of milk in a day and a half. now when you buy that much milk it really starts to add up. So do I suck it up and pay the big bucks or do I suck it up and let the boys have things that aren't good for them. My boys are already going to be taller than me by the time they are five, I don't think I should give them any growth hormones.

the boys
My sister got Micah and Max matching outfits. Don't they look cute. I think they look especially cute on the lawn mower with daddy.Sunday, July 5, 2009
so I'm not crazy.
Good news, I'm not losing it. I didn't lose $200, I gave it to Kathy to put in the house so I wouldn't lose it. She put it between two cookbooks so it wouldn't get misplaced. She just forgot to tell us. So Yay! Now I can use that money to help pay for the window I broke.
Congrats!
Congrats Ryan and Ginger on your engagement. We are so happy for you and so excited to go to Florida next May for the wedding.
Micah's Party
Besides the two huge mishaps of me breaking our car window and losing $200, Micah's party went great. I don't know how I broke our car window, but it definitely broke. I went to get Micah's balloons and shut the passenger side door and the back window shattered. The money thing I am sick about. Jason gave me a bank envelope with $200 in it so I could give Jason's brother money to go to the store for us. He told me not to worry about it and then I have no recollection of what I did with that envelope. I searched high and low last night and its no where to be found. What a thing to be so careless about. I was just going in so many different directions yesterday I don't know what happened.
So anyway, Micah's party. We grilled pizza's, which was a big hit. We had every thing set up for people to make their own and then they just dropped them off to Jason at the grill. It was a hit. The day turned out to be beautiful. It was sunny and in the high 70's. Micah made out like a bandit. He got spoiled rotten. He had tons of fun digging into his cake. He had a little practice though. We gave him cake on Thursday, his actual birthday. All the kids seemed to have fun playing and all the adults seemed to have fun visiting. we had fun.
Here's the damage.
I love this cake. I wish I could credit for it but it was all Sam's club.
Micah's cake and cup cakes for the kids.
our pizza station.
Micah just getting into this cake.
now we're getting there
Max gave Micah a fork so he could really get into that cake. pretty much the fork became a shovel.
Cousin Bell had fun with a cupcake and candy corn.
My mom, brother and sister-in-law Dani came to help us celebrate.
Grandpa Dan, Bell and Max enjoying the weather.
Michael, Alex and Conner stopped by too.
Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Mitch. Max and Micah love them to pieces and I'm pretty sure they feel the same way about them.
Jeff and baby Alex. He is getting so big and doing so well.
Apparently we didn't feed Lance enough pizza so he helped himself to dumpster leftovers.
Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Brent visiting from down state.
Jason and I taking a breather from the hectic day.
The boys swinging away.
We had some good games of corn hole going.
Melissa and baby Alex
Daddy and birthday boy stealing a moment.

Am I Crazy?
We are having a big birthday party for Micah tomorrow. Right now we have the contents of the garage emptied onto our yard and my house is in shambles. We have a ton of tables and chairs to set up and I have a ton of food prep to do for tomorrow. So, its about this time that I say to myself, " Am I crazy"? I think we already know the answer to that one...he he he. I'm hoping tomorrow goes well and everyone has fun. We are expecting 45 people.
