our 10th anniversary...

isaac took these pictures of us as we were leaving to drop the kids off at our friends and go out to dinner for our anniversary. apparently after you've been married for 10 years you dress alike and don't even notice it.{oh well!} we went to a really yummy french resturant, i can't wait to go back. then watched tangled with our friends and the boys. it was a very fun evening. these last 10 years have flown by, but at the same time life before them seem like an eternity ago. i'm so glad that i have sam to spend the next 10 and the next 10 and the next 10....years with. that is if he can put up with me for that long. we were talking about how things will have changed when #20 comes along. our kids will be 16, 14, 12, and 9, i can't even imagine it but i know it will fly by just as fast as the last 10. so i hope i can slow down enough to enjoy them as much as i can as everyday runs away from me faster and faster. i love you!

finishing the bagels...

*tips for myself next time.

1. read throught the entire recipe several times throughly...

2. don't add ingredient to the dough that are suppose to go into the boiling water

3. now that i understand the boiling timing. schedule more appropriately so my neighbor doesn't have to pick isaac up from school.

i must say not withstanding my minor blunders with round one. they turned out pretty dang good. slightly salty{for some more than others}, but still really good. i will definantly be trying this recipe again.

bagel making day one and a little yogurt as well...

beckam is my kid who likes to help me cook. so i knew i could count on him to make bagels with me. so we started the two day process on a tuesday i made the dough while he was at school it since it has to be in the fridge for a while before you can form the dough. isaac went to scouts with sam, we put truman to bed and beckam and i went to work shaping our bagels. after that he had his bedtime snack. for which he can choose fruit(/veg), yogurt, or cheese. he usually likes yogurt, isaac likes yogurt too but more frequently goes for fruit. he wanted me to get some pictures of him while he ate. i love this kid, he's such a goof. so here are my nighttime pictures of bagel making and yogurt eating.
