Busy morning

This morning has been a busy morning. First we were honored to watch our neighbors kids this morning so they could attend a family members funeral, especially since Skylar is only 4 days old. Sydney, her big sister, is a couple of months older than Jake and they are great friends. Skylar had her first mini blow out but other than that it was nice to have a baby in the house.

Jake and Skylar (Jake loves to love on babies)



 Skylar Caroline - 4 days old

This was also the morning we had chosen to plant our vegetables. Josh had built the planter weeks ago but because we were going out of town we waited until we got back to plant. We planted tomatos, spinach, onions, blueberries, cucumber and red peppers.

This was Sydney (who we were watching) plus our neighbors from across the street Malichi and Averyl and Jake playing this morning.

This is a picture from over vacation of me and my little sister out for appetizers.

This last picture is just me and Jake at the strawberry patch. I <3 him:)

Teacher appreciation

This week is teacher appreciation week.  I filled a tote bage with a drink, a water bottle, some snacks and this pot that I deocrated with crayons and filled with pens and sticky notes. Hope Ms. Angie likes it. :)

Beach Trip 2012

We just got back from our annual beach trip to Seagrove, Florida where we stayed at my parents condo with them and my sister and her husband stayed in a little place in Rosemary beach. We had a GREAT time. Jake loved the pool and the ocean. We ate at many great resturants and my mom even paid for Christie and I to get massage's at the Watercolor INN while our husband's played Golf nearby.
Here are a few pictures.....

More pictures to come.....
