We've had some warmer weather and beautiful sunshine the past few days. Colin had his first bike ride outside this year. To say he loved it would be an understatement. To say he threw a world class fit when he had to come inside would also be an understatement.

Short-ish video of said bike ride.

Here's how car rides go lately:

This way Mommy. Go thisa way. Green Go. Big M. X! X Mommy X!! Red light stop. Where's green? Green hiding. Ohhhh there you are! Big truck. Yellow square box. Blue M. Little e, Big S, Y. 1 car, 2 car, 3 car ...

and so on and so on and so on.

I've been on a new recipe kick lately. I'm loving reading cooking blogs and seeing what's out there. Had a (small-ish) freezer baking session last weekend with hopes to do it again before our trip to Florida in a few weeks. {Photo posted on Project 365 as well}

Successes:

• Soft Baked Tacos. One of my recipe successes was the baked soft tacos from my freezer baking day. Super easy to make, froze well, and easy to pop in the oven and then eat. Definitely will make again.
• PB&J Bars. We weren't super crazy about them the first night while they were still warm-ish. I brought probably half of them into work only to realize how much we loved them later.
• Monte Cristo Stack. 8 layers of warm goodness.
• Monster Cookies. Found a recipe on allrecipes.com. Stupidly didn't bookmark it. Praying I'll find it again and remember the modifications I made to them. They were one of the best cookies I've made. Ever.
  
  There was another great recipe but I'm stumped as to what it was right now. Anyone have a great (new?) recipe?

Downside to my camera is because of it's size I don't take it with me as often and miss out on some great photo ops. This trip was one of those times. We didn't take many pictures aside from when we were back at the hotel. I'll add a few more when I get pictures from Missy's camera. Colin taking in the view from our hotel room in downtown Chitown.
Missy says she was kissing C's head. Mike says she was yanking his head back. I just think it looks funny.
I'd love this if it was in focus.
