homemade ice cream

We spent Memorial Day weekend at my parents house in Hot Springs. It was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the very rainy holiday. But even the rain couldn't stop us from digging through the storage room to find the ice cream maker. It wasn't warm outside and it was rainy, but that ice cream was GOOD! We use a recipe that was my grandmothers and it is so easy- no cooking and no raw eggs.

We are having some people over tonight and in an effort to keep them cool I am making it again today.


Bring on the Summer!

May BAM (basket of the month)

This morning we picked up our yummy May basket of the month. It is always exciting to pick up, but getting better and better as we get into summer and the pick-up has officially moved to the Argenta Farmers Market.

Not only did I enjoy the things in the basket, but also the other goodies the market has to offer ( I have eaten breakfast there the past 3 Saturdays).

As motivation to clean out my refrigerator, I thought I would show you how much happier my fridge looks when filled with basket loot.

In the basket...
cabbage
lettuce
spring mix
bok choy
milk
chocolate milk
shittake mushrooms
cheese
strawberries
dozen eggs
basil pasta
planted herb
strawberry vinaigrette
butter

Enjoy your Memorial Day!
Any good food plans?

Kris Allen

Found this u-tube video of Kris Allen on someone's blog and I love it. We sing this song at church and it is a newish fav of mine.



Enjoy and I will try to stop talking about American Idol.

Just put lots of these pics on my photo blog.
They make me so HAPPY!

dentist

Yesterday after school the boys both had dentist appointments. I love our dentist office! For the kids they have a room with a tv on the ceiling and my favorite part is that it has two chairs. The boys go in at the same time and lay on these chairs while they take turns getting their teeth cleaned. It makes it so much easier to take them at the same time and I think they feel safer together. It is hysterical to see how excited they get about going to the dentist.

I have never thought to take my camera on their past appointments and this time had it by chance. It was in my car and due to many recent stories of break ins I am afraid to leave anything in there.

The boys did a great job and we celebrated with treats that will send us back to the dentist.

Website Update-Strawberries

Finally put all those strawberry pictures on my website. They might make you hungry, but check them out anyway.
Have a great day!

art genius

We love coloring and crafting here at the Loibner house and lately the boys have really been on a roll. They are quickly filling their designated notebooks with family members, superheroes, and animals of all kinds. Campbell's people all the sudden look like people and Wilson has passed me in drawing ability. This week, in a combined effort, they made this amazing tiger. I am going to try to keep it forever even though it was constructed out of notebook paper.

I feel like a slacker for not doing a mother's day post....I am very blessed to have a great mama and lots of great moms that I do life with and who encourage and lift me up. I had a great mother's day and hope you all did also.
And a BIG thanks to my kiddos...you make being a mommy fun!
