My Aunt Linda told me the other day that from the blog point of view it seems like all we eat are sweets 🙂 Myself and the wee Kelleys do love sweets, but we really do eat reasonably. Veggies at lunch & dinner, some protein, fruit, whole grains, but that’s a bit boring for pictures.
I would much rather show you the surprise doughnut treat Brea brought us this morning, along with a bajillion sweet outfits for Amon. THANK YOU Brea!!!!
Or how I made Gooey Butter Cake to share yesterday…baked goods can change the world you know.
I cannot even begin to tell you how many times my Mom made this. Just saying the words Gooey Butter Cake makes me beyond happy. My all time favorite for sure. YOU.MUST.MAKE.THIS.TODAY!
Anybody else watching the Olympics like crazy? We are.
Harper told me today that she wants to be a swimmer in the Olympics. The boys are absolutely adorable watching any of the events. They are completely entranced. Maybe some of my favorite pictures ever of them together. This shows them…totally and completely them.
We’re still hoping we’ll be leaving any ole’ day now to go get Amon. I got a bit excited when I packaged up our backpacking backpack to mail to my friend Ashley who is going with me. #gettingready #packingright
Did you know they still put toys in cereal boxes…at least in the Cheerios? I did not, but this little guy was in our new box we opened this morning. Super fun. Thank you Cheerios for bringing back the fun in our morning cereal.
This 12×12 Names of Jesus canvas that I made for a local donation raffle has been sitting just waiting to have it’s little edges painted for way too long now. Baby on the way means it’s time to wrap all the little loose ends up.
Harper enjoys some good organization. For a slightly OC crafty Mom…part of this thrills my heart and the other part terrifies me 🙂
And more “thank you” key fobs hit the mail today. You guys are crazy awesome and I am beyond grateful for all the ace of hearts that have been pouring in. A big thank you!!!!
Hope your Tuesday has been a good one. All the little things in life can add up and make things pretty great.
Happy Tuesday!

Gooey butter cake is FABULOUS!!!!!!!
Your boys are so precious!! Those pictures just melt my heart.
Also, I always love when you post yummy recipes. That cake sounds so bad, yet so good.
Your boys are super cute watching the Olympics! My girl is mesmerized too but she calls every event “bolleyball”! 🙂 Happy packing! Happy organizing! Happy preparation for your newest cutie!
I love to make gooey butter cake, my mom called it “chess bars” in her recipe. I love to make it with a strawberry cake mix, and then I add food coloring to the top to make it pink! Also, the chocolate cake mix bottom and tinted green & mint flavored top is always a big hit with my family! Thanks for sharing all the cute pictures!
I saw this on pinterest and immediately thought of your family. Source: data.whicdn.com via Arianne on Pinterest
Hey Laura, I was wondering how you guys decided who would ‘stay’ and who would ‘go’ to get Amon? And did your friend Ashley volunteer to come with you to go get him?? I always wonder how families get so many pictures and gotcha day video footage of a couple/mommy/daddy get all that footage- especially with such expensive plane tickets. (My motive behind wondering this is when my husband and I go some day, if only one of us goes, do we pay for someone to go with us or do you ask someone to save $ to be able to go on?) Does any of that even make sense? LOL
The pictures of the boys are super precious. You can really see the special bond between them. Your canvas is beautiful. Blessings and hugs!!!
Laura,
I am so happy your family is all together. All the prayers and well wishes have finally brought you guys all together, and your mom is so smiling, I just know it.
I want to be one of the her friends that follows your journey with enthusiasm. Amon is precious like the others and looks very adjusted.
The Googy Butter cake looks delicious. I have the Dinning Hall’s CB and if you would post a copy of page 91 (brownies and icing) I would appreciate it. Someone removed it from my book and did not put it back.
Have a great rest of the week—08/14/12
Blessings
Laura, Laura, Laura… You, my Sister, are beyond precious! And, oh so clever and funny! I love you and your family. And, I love your darling family, too. I know it’s been awhile since you posted this, but I had to comment on his post! Especially on the gooey butter cake recipe. hah! I saw the last sentence and giggled really hard! I think I’m he first to notice that lil’ funny!
Just want you to know that someone cares and prays for you. And, I’m praying for beautiful Baby Aman as he recovers from surgery. He is gorgeous. Congratulations. <3 Jo
