Millions of Peaches, Peaches for me

The girls & I headed down to the (hot) Central Valley with my sisters & mom to visit my Grammy (and our cousins) earlier this week.

One of the perks about living in the (very hot) Central Valley is all the fresh produce that you can buy on the side of the road.
My mom picked up several lugs of fresh peaches for us to bring home.
One of my favorite things to eat on summer nights is freshly sliced peaches sprinkled very lightly with sugar & served over Vanilla Bean ice cream.
But, I have TONS of peaches & they are going to go bad before we can eat all of them.
What should I do with all these peaches?
Anyone have a good peach cobbler/peach crisp recipe?
Or any other type of peachy recipe?
If you do, post the link in the comments & you will be my BFF!
I can't let all these peaches go to waste!

Little Bruiser

It was bound to happen to Claire.

You know....the inaugural black eye.

Claire is a rough & tumble little girl.

I am actually surprised her first black eye came 22 months old.

Kate's one and only black eye happened when she was 15 months old.

Kate's first black eye - May 2008

Kate tripped on the carpet & as she fell, her face hit the edge of her rocking chair. Ouch.

Over the weekend, Claire slipped down the last 2 stairs (which are hardwood) & her poor face hit the edge of the last step. The goose egg immediately showed up. She is a tough girl & cried for less than a minute. She got a black eye in the same spot as Kate's first black eye.

Poor little thing. But, she doesn't let those stairs stop her, she was up and at them later on that day.
I remember when Kate got her black eye, I took her to the grocery store & got so many "looks" from people.
I wanted to put a sign on her saying, "I don't beat my kid, she is just an energetic toddler & tripped on a rug!"

Claire's black eye is looking much better now, so we can now go out in public & I won't have to worry about people staring at her wondering what happened :)

10 on 10 :: July 2010

10 on 10: Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments!
Happy Saturday! Kevin let me sleep in today! Hooray!
What a great way to start 10 on 10!
He was feeding the girls breakfast when I got up, mini french toast Eggo waffles!

Kate did her "dot dot dot paints" after breakfast. She likes them organized!

We had a great Saturday! We spent the entire day at home hanging out in the backyard swimming and enjoying the warm summer weather!
