Magic Bullet. We got this for Christmas a couple of years ago and I always forget to use it. I pulled it out today and made some yummy fruit smoothies.

Banana Splits! The boys first time having one :) They did have a cherry on top but I took the pic before they were done!

I noticed my last few pictures have been sorta dull and lacking color so I was on the lookout for a bright, colorful subject today. I think this one did the trick!

Some days I just can't think of anything exciting to photograph but there's always this sweet face :)

I just happened to have my zoom lens on and ready when this hawk perched on a tree in my backyard!

Hunter having some fun with bubbles! This is a stomp rocket that leaves a trail of bubbles when it shoots up but Hunter thought it was more fun to hold it and spin around :)

Riley's had a Superman themed party at the bowling alley during 'Cosmic Bowling' and was lots of fun!

This is the cake I made for Riley's birthday party! I ordered the frosting sheet online and was really happy with how easy it was to apply to my cake!

Our new crockpot! It has a locking lid for taking food on the go (even has a spot to snap a serving spoon onto the handle). It also has a temperature probe to let you know when your meat has reached the correct temperature.

I couldn't resist buying these cute songbirds that sing a realistic song when you press them! I wish I could collect them all but I'll settle for 3!

July 6, 2009

The tomato plants we planted from seed in the spring were only about 2 inches high so we went to the nursery and bought these instead!

My internet was out for a couple of days so I got the itch to do something creative so I taught myself how to knit a pair of socks!

Our push-mower! This is the second summer we've exclusively used this instead of our gas mower. Just doing our part to be green! I also love it because it's a great workout and no gas fumes to breathe!

Another long ride pulling the boys in the trailer on the bike path!
