Farewell Camping with my boys

Sabbath morning James sprung upon me the idea of camping before the boys leave to Canada. So, we did. After church we raced home, packed the car, and raced off to the mountains. I need to also mention that James talked are friends John and Angela with their children into going. I'm so glad they went. The more the merrier. The boys fished and played hard. They ended the day with an adventurous morel mushroom hunt.

I love this picture! Andrew sporting his dirt mustache, and Wes with his prized capture.

Isn't this little guy so cute?

James made breakfast. Pancakes with fresh strawberries and homemade blueberry/strawberry jam. Since this trip was spur of the moment, we were destined to leave something behind. I forgot the oil. But a friendly neighbor come to our rescue when I presented my frying pan with a desperate face.

The neighbors were very friendly at this campground. They saw we had kids and gave us their left over colossal size marshmallows and chocolate bars. The size of these marshmallows were like four regulars put together. The kids loved them! We all enjoyed them. Thank- you Hunny for such a great time. Family memories that will last forever.

Alli's Bedroom

...will post more pictures later. I just couldn't wait to show you. The picture does no justice to the true color of this room. The other walls are a light lavender. I'm ordering new light switch, outlet covers to match. It is so beautiful. So girly.

New Flowers

I know it looks a little barren in some areas, but the kinds of flowers I have in these barrels will get very bushy soon. I love sitting on my back swing listening to the birds sing, children laugh, and smell my fragrant flowers. Now all I need is to invite some people over this weekend for a BBQ. I love summer

Roast'm Toast'm Kinda Day

Just for Me...

When I picked up the boys from school today, I was showered with gifts, hugs, and kisses. They don't have school tomorrow, so my mothers day presents came early. They have been working on these projects for some time. Every once in a while they would tell me they were working on something at school for me, but didn't want to tell me what it was. It was a big surprise! They are such special gifts. Weston made the quilt picture, and Timmy Shea made the herb garden. I hung the picture in the kitchen, since that's where I feel I am the most, and Timmy will help me transplant the herbs into my pots outside giving them plenty of room to grow.
