Bottle thief, Garden and Bow shooting

Bottle Thief
June 7, day 158.

She's often found hidden somewhere with her sisters bottle.  I think she likes being caught.

Ready to Pick

Vegetables and berries are ripening in our garden and the little ones are loving it.  We visit our petit jardin often and the kids love picking and devouring what they find, and for baby A that means even green strawberries are up for grabs.

Halloween in June

If you mix oatmeal with fresh mashed bananas and walnuts, it tastes just like home made banana bread.

A Weekend Trip

May 24th, day 145.

We spent our Memorial Day weekend in the calm serenity of a tiny town surrounded by fruit orchards and rolling hills.  A distant thunder storm welcomed us with a show our first night there.  We were all mesmerized by it, planting our lawn chairs so we could sit and watch the storm and listen to the rumbles of thunder.

We enjoyed our time here with family, taking in the different landscape and warmer weather.  We will be coming back to this place...

May 25th, day 146.

Our brave little girl jumping into the pool for the first time.

Backyard, Cookies, and an Oops

Backyard landscaping.

Baby A's carrots
May 20th, day 141.

The little one got a hold of the carrot seed pack while I was working in the garden the other day.  She planted her own little patch.

Smiles
May 21st, day 142.

Oatmeal Cookies
May 22nd, day 143.

Oatmeal cookie recipe from Two Peas & Their Pod.  We love this recipe and seriously can eat the whole batch in a day.  Addie said they are her favorite, though she's been saying that about everything lately.  We substitute the raisins for cranberries.

Oops

May 23rd, day 144.

So it happened, I missed a photo... I was thinking about it all day, I knew I wanted to grab a pic of our packed bags for our weekend getaway.  It just never happened.
