Pizza Fridays

We have carried over the tradition of making homemade pizza and watching a movie on Friday nights. The kiddos really get into it and we love it. I make the pizza dough and then we let the kids blob all the toppings on there they want. They gobble it up and then head into the tv room where they watch most of a Disney movie either from a tent or from some pile of blankets on the floor.

Toppings

Dough!
They really pile it on. And eat the rest while they are working.

The tent that Jack made for everyone.

The pile of blankets on the floor.
This was such a great memory growing up. Gretchen, Evan, Mom and I talked about this the night we took her to the airport. We remember TGIF or Friday Night Funnies. It wouldn't be complete without Carl Otis Windslow, Kimmy Gibler or Tapanga.

Grandma Barbra I'm not sure I ever showed you these. We had lunch at Aladins that day and then fed the ducks down on the Erie at Shoen Place. I miss you and love you. Hopefully I will see you this Summer or Fall.

Leah is now 4 weeks old. We catch a smile or grin every now and then and she loves to lay peacefully and watch the commotion around her. The older kids are so helpful with Leah. Jack likes to rock her and sing her primary songs. Katy stands by and hands me diapers, wipes and clean clothes when she needs a change and Julia helps by giving her a pacifier and reading her books.

Katy loves it when Leah naps on her bed. She wishes she would sleep with her all night.

And here is a recent picture of a mountain lion Jason chased and treed with Jack's dog.
