    Happy Birthday Mom!

    Today is my mom’s birthday so a big ole shout out to her. We celebrated last night with dinner at our house followed by cake and presents. Ben had a great time playing with his cousins and it was a great opportunity to work on his sharing skills:) Only child syndrome. Happy Birthday Mom, We love you!

    Just Call Us The Waltons

    Well maybe not quite, but the fact that our little plants are growing and I’m cooking from the Pioneer Women’s recipes that has to count for something right?

    A Day At The Park

    The weather has been cooler lately and by cooler I mean in the 80’s instead of 100, but we’ll take it. It still feels pretty hot with all the humidity, but at least I can be outside without instantly starting to sweat. We decided to take advantage of the weather and take Ben to a park that I use to go to when I was little. The park is beautiful and they recently updated the playground and put in all new equipment. There is also a huge lake that has lots of ducks and geese you can feed but there didn’t happen to be any out the day we were…
