Jump movie

Ava thought it was so funny that she could jump with both feet of the step. Don't mind Josh vaccuming in the back ground he is just being a great hubby and helping party prep.

Salad time

Home made salad, this is my first bowl of salad with the greens Lilie and I grew.

Left over dessert for breakfast?

Thanks to Jill leaving her home made whip cream and strawberries all I had to do was mix up some Fiber One pancake/waffel mix and taadaa breakfast was served!

Josh had to work on Sunday so no left over desser for him:(

4 Families Dinner

It was our turn to host the four family dinner. Adults ate outside, kids inside with the windows open:) Not all the kids were inside, the highchair aged ones were outside with us. One of the fun parts (of many) of our dinners is that everyone brings something. We made barrel chicken, biscuits and asparagus. The remaining items were brought by the families, appetizers, salad and dessert. It is such a great idea we all get to try new and yummy things. The adults get to hang out together and the kids get to play, there are 9 kids, 8 girls 1 boy from 8 years to 2 years old.

Socks

Some of you might know Ava has a "shoe thing". She LOVES shoes! She love picking them out and will ware 2-3 different pairs a day. She also loves to take them off as soon as she gets in the car. Shoes go on the floor and socks go on her hands. She makes them into puppets and thinks it is so funny to say "hi Mom" and wave with a sock hand.

Nail time

With weather being so nice Ava and I went in to get a little color on our nails. I went for toe's, she got fingers.

Casa de Choo Choo

Lilie still has fun after oh 7 years of this place. Neighbor Blake claims Ava as his girl:)

Ducks come here!
Feeding the fish, who knew a baby catfish was so cute.
Ready for the train to take off
Round and round we go

These two spun soo fast Blake almost fell off the seat!

It's planting time again

Lettuce and Arugula going good. (like the container I chose for the container salad mix?) While Ava napped and Josh researched how to cook the perfect 2" thick T-bone Lilie and I worked the garden. We pulled weeds planted the seed that we started in pots and put down a little top soil. After we gave it a good watering we baited for snails like anyone who loves their pretty leaves.

This is our "pepper" section, bell peppers (4-5 colors) and one jalapeno plant (we have 3 more in a different location)
Our "zucchini" section with 3-4 varieties
(lets hope not all of these last it's a lot of squash!)

Oh and our little "spaghetti squash" section is to the left of the "zuc" section in one row.

All the sections have been snail baited off. The last two empty squares are "Jeweled Beet" section and "Baby Round Carrot" section we just planted today. We have one section left to plant that would be our "Cucumber" section.

Our Strawberries aren't pictured but they are in a hanging basket on the fence next to the other jalapeno plants. We have potatoes still going from last year and tomatoes covering our front porch that aren't quite read for the barrels. I will be praying to the garden gods to give me a great garden yet again this year. Is there a Saint for the garden? I need a statue asap!

DeAnza Market Day

Dry diaper morning again, more days then not:) Ava all covered in sunscreen and her cute flower hat.

After the yummy breakfast at Hobee's we headed for DeAnza,
Lilie found the coolest thing at the market.


I got a new toe ring
Lilie took my old one

Love this movie!

Lilie likes this can you tell? Did I mention she is 64lbs?
