Two weeks ago we were graced with Ann and Elle's presence for a few days. It was Ann's birthday weekend therefore, a cake was required. Out of 4 pinterest cakes Tad picked this one. It was potent, but pretty good. It had 4 layers with cream cheese frosting in between. We love any visitors, so thanks for visiting Ann and Elle. We love you!
The next week we headed off to Nyssa for my Grandma Junie's 83 birthday party. Here is a picture of all Hartley's in attendance. We were missing some families, but we had fun with the families that were present. My kids love playing with their cousins.
Um how cute are these two. The Giant and the Princess love each other.
After Grandma Junie's party we headed up to the cabin for a Sam Hartley Family Reunion (except Markie and Tad...we missed them terribly). We have so much fun and food when we get together. Kimmie beats everyone at ping pong even with a hurt back, my kids chill on the bean bags, we stay up way too late watching movies, take rides in the woods to find cool mountain lakes, and more fun!
I get an itch every now and then to try something new. I have tried making real croissants before, but failed. I got the itch to try it again and...SUCCESS! They are buttery flaky and I'm sure way too many calories for anyones good, but oh how fun!
When we got home from the cabin Tad's dad came to visit Tad while we were gone. Here is the funny Luke said, "Grandpa why aren't you eating this yummy cantaloupe?" Grandpa, "Because I'm on a special diet that will make me skinny. I need to get skinny like you." Luke, "Well your hand is skinny."

It was so fun to see you for a little bit. So glad you had a good time with your family. Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!
Whenever I am feeling sad about my roley poley belly... I'll just glance at my hands and think... look at those beautiful skinny specimens :)
Love it! How are you?? You and your little fam have been on our minds! :) Hope things are getting better in the house dept.

You amaze me with your croissant making skills! It actually doesn't amaze me because I know how WONDERFUL and talented you are! (: Still, the fact that you got it done with your busy mama of three life is amazing to me & anyone. Hope you are liking where you are. Post pictures of your place, soon.
Megan! Its so nice reading you blog again!! We haven't had internet in our new apt for over a month now.... which means I haven't done a blog myself in a long time! Which is sad the fact that I have over 600 pics on my iPhone. Ps Thanks for the shout out!
