Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Kamm Fam!

Valentousins 2014

Who wouldn't love these cuties?! This was  an "Aunt Awesome" outing for some Valentine's Day fun! These are pictures of pictures so not as clear, but I think the cuteness still comes across. 

P.S.- thank goodness skinny jeans are 'in' for boys, Landon is rocking Harleigh's skinny jeans- as all the wardrobes were provided by Kamm closets.

Drawing 'nakes'

Lawson has really begun to talk and communicate. He is really into knowing his animals and loves to point out anything that resembles a snake or 'nake' as he refers to them. He's even started to draw them.

Christmas Program 2013

Since I was on blogging hiatus at the end of 2013, below are pictures from Harleigh's school Christmas performance (December, 2013). This year, Harleigh brought it! She was expressive, loud, and owned her performance. Previous years, hands were in the mouth and she looked down acting shy. Not in 2013, she was a star!! Watch out American Idol 2025, here we come! Stage mom in tow!

 

Chip, chip, cheerio our little English man!

Measuring up the class competition

Unsure if she was going to "bring it"

Landon being angelic, per usual

That's right parents, Harleigh Kamm showed up big time in 2013!

Harleigh's competition class

Back it up folks! That's our girl!

Harleigh you take out whoever you need to, to get the solo!

Kamm Family 2013, pure innocence

Disclaimer: I'm completely kidding on my kid being a stage hog. I just love that she participated this year!

Bedtime Negotiations

This month Harleigh has become a smart little sales person in her own right. Early in the afternoon she would say "mom, thanks for letting me stay up late tonight." Then, she would run off and begin playing with a game or toy. The first few times she did this, I thought maybe I had made a promise to her earlier and forgot. However, after a few days of her doing this I realized that the little stinker got one over me! I never promised a late bedtime.

Well, my Dear, it may have taken a little time, but mom knows your game. I've even started to play back, at lunch this week, I said "Harleigh, thank you for having good behavior tonight and staying in your bed when mom and dad say it's bedtime." She looked at me, smiled, and kept eating.

Game. Set. Match.

No Bake Protein Bites

I'm not a fan of baking, I enjoy cooking. I think it's because I feel I can cook much faster and with less mess- no need to measure, just eyeball it and taste, then adjust. With baking you have to follow the instructions or you end up with an ugly, disgusting mess, and if you can't tell- I'm speaking from experience, lots of experience. :)

I like these because I was able to "eyeball it" and they are really tasty, and good for an on-the-go high protein, high fiber snack.

1 cup Oatmeal
3/4 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)
1/2 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
(or almond slivers or other nut)
1/2 cup flaxseed
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or craisins or other sweet treat)
1 tsp vanilla
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Combine all the ingredients.  Use your hands to combine.  Then roll into small balls.  Place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or freeze for about 5 minutes).
