Ryan's 5th Birthday Party

Museum of Life and Science

For Ryan's birthday we headed out for a morning at the Life and Science Museum. We had a great time (until the epic meltdown when we stayed too long). Hopefully we all get a little rest before Ryan's special birthday dinner out! 

Mothers Day Baseball

In Honor of Mother's Day

In Honor of Mother's day here are some pictures of my mom through the years. Her hair will tell you when each picture was taken! 

Gardens in Bloom

Our first annual garden is doing really well. The kids help tend to it which makes it a fun family project. I have used a lot of herbs (especially cilantro and basil) in my cooking and the spinach and lettuce are ready to use. Hopefully I can keep the plants safe when the summer heat really kicks in! 

Hot Days!

So far this spring more days have been rainy and cold then sunny. I think today we made a breakthrough! Audrey broke out her bathing suit (she apparently is opposed to two pieces because she wants to cover her belly- a trend I hope continues into teenage years). It went from cold to too hot to play on the playground in one day.  Audrey is such a summer baby she loves it!

Strawberry Picking

Strawberry picking has become an annual tradition for our family. Both the kids love it (even though Ryan doesn't actually eat them). This year was the first time we had company. We now have lot's of strawberries and I am looking for something good to make with all of them!
