Happy Birthday Andrew

So yesterday was my boy's birthday. I can't believe he's 13. Time flies, that's for sure.We had a busy weekend for him. 2 of his friends from concord came to hang out with him for the weekend. I love these boys. It's like a big band of brothers! Here's some of the events of the weekend...

don't judge me, ok!

garden update

I haven't posted in a while... been busy, I guess? Now getting ready for family to descend in Folsom (20 of us for the 4th of July!) It's gonna be fun and crazy all at the same time. So I've got cleaning on organizing to do (like dig out kids rooms so if cousins want to sleepover, they can!)

Thought I'd update our garden..... It has been one of the best experiences for me and our kids. 

Remember this post?

Can you find Emma?

Anxiously awaiting the color red!

Had to put a little color in the garden, too.

Anyone want some zucchini? Or a cucumber! 

It's like heaven right out side our door!

Just cause
