It's been awhile!


It has been so long since I have had time to log on here.  I also don't have a terrible amount of time, so yes, I will update you with pictures!




MAY
Mmm...delicious strawberry shortcake!


Momma's little helper!
BEACH-- Memorial Day Weekend


He HATED the sand at first.....I love this picture!

Such a ham.  He's playing "frisbee" with coasters.

Boardwalk Fries....MMMMMMM!

So tired!

He also HATED the PFD, but he LOVED the boat ride!









JUNE

His first plane ride!  He's listening to momma's iPod.

Oh Culver's, how I miss you!

He loved playing with Ethan....too bad Ethan didn't like him so much!

Peeking at Lys in her dress!

I love this picture!  We took the boys swimming at the Y.


I made these....MOST OF THEM!  

Aren't they darling?  I designed and made them for her.  Best part of all--the jelly bellies inside!

I also designed/made the Programs!  Also, I created a slideshow, her invites, and helped with her centerpieces.  I'm thinking I need to get into the wedding business!

A local dinner!  I believe this was chard and pasta and it was delicious!  We got it from our local CSA I voluteer at.  Email me if you are interested....their produce is awesome!

Helping Pap-pap put his new chair together.

I made egg rolls that were half cabbage, half kohlrabi.  They were delicious!  Also a CSA creation!

Another pasta dish featuring Chard!

We named Rhea after my great, great aunt who is the sweetest, most patient Christian woman  I have ever met.  I hope my Rhea grows up to be like her :)  It also doesn't hurt that Rhea means "flowing stream"!
Amelia came from Steve's Grandma Millie.  She is also a sweet lady!
