MJ's Talent Show

MJ performed in the 1st grade talent show last Tuesday.  He seemed a little nervous but received a great response and has been chosen to perform in the school-wide talent show on the last day of school!

Last Day of 3/4 Preschool!

Picnic at the park.

The geese were pretty interseted in our sandwiches.

Molly completed her first year of preschool this week.  She had a super cute program and did a great job.  I surprised her with a picnic at the park afterwards.  Next year she will be a peer model in our school district at the Early Childhood Center!  I'm excited to have all three kids in the same district!

Happy Mother's Day!

To all of the wonderful moms out there, especially my own!  Happy Mother's Day!

It's Official!

My parents listed their house on the market.  They are planning to move down here in the near future!  I am so excited I can barely stand it.  Here's hoping to a quick sale at full asking price!

Another Milestone

One of lesser recognized milestones but a milestone nonetheless.  Last summer I created a bucket list for MJ that included learning to swim, tying his shoes, riding his bike without training wheels and pumping his legs on the swing.  A couple of weeks ago we finished off the bucket list!  He now can soar with the best of them!

Happy *Early* Mother's Day to Me!

Just in time for frozen summery treats!

Premature Planting?

Last week I got my garden planted.  The extended forecast (at the time) looked beautiful and I thought we had for sure turned a corner on this winter weather.  Bobby and I had a date night Saturday night and all you heard was a collective groan when this came on the screen.

On a positive note, the garden is doing well so far and I hope to have lots of yummy vegetables for the third year in a row.  This year we have: strawberries (back from last year), herbs (chives, oregano, basil and cilantro), cucumbers (pickling and regular), sugar snap peas, green beans, bell peppers and tomatoes (cherry and regular).  I may be pulling out a large tarp later this week to cover.
