Our mini project. I try and let Noni help me as much as possible. This perfect Noni-size table had stickers on it that would not come off. SO Peter sanded it, Noni and I painted it, and ta-da. A one of a kind little table & chairs. I envision Noni doing lots of arts and crafts, tea partys, and eating at this table.

Pretty flowers and lots of veggies from the garden! We have hydrangias, black eyed susans, and zhinneas to decorate with, and an abundance of fresh zuchinni and green beans. (tomatoes and peppers on there way) Just another reason why I love summer, all the homegrown goodness!

Mommys little helper. She loves helping me make dinner.

I have picked fresh sour cherries and blueberries at local farms. The cherries I froze and baked with but the blueberries we just ate fresh. So yummy. I feel like such a country mama picking fresh stuff with my own two hands and then providing yummy food for my family. Its the kind of thing my mom used to do and I had to help and I hated it but now Im doing it too. Its fun now. Soon I will be canning peaches, stewed tomatoes and salsa, freezing corn and then apple sauce (with my moms help.)

We went to a local lake and fed the fishies. So fun to see Nonis face light up when she sees new things especially animals!

Me and Noni spend a couple days a week, if not more, swimming! she loves it! She has her own swimmies now that she loves to wear even if shes not in the water and she practices lots of kicking. I am so so thankful my mom has a pool. There are a few really nice public pools near by too.

Guess thats it for now. Peace to you and your summer!

My twin bro....and his wife!!

He just got married yesterday and it was such a beautiful wedding!! It was such an exciting and special day because they have been together for 5 years and talking about marriage for 4 of those years but have been waiting for her to get done school. So they are finally official and they are off to Maine for there honeymoon!
Peter was a groomsman and Noni was one of the flower girls! She did so good, she slowly walked down the aisle dropping some flower pedals here and there. I am so proud of her. Here are some pics from the day!

The 4th!

Man it feels like just yesterday was the fourth of july. I don't know why it has taken me all week to get on here and share our happenings. But here I am and we had a great 4th. No big plans or party, just a little celebrating family-style. We went to my sister in laws for a picnic and made things fun and festive for the kids!
I never thought of my self as a real festive person. I thought getting sucked to all the different holiday hoopla was kind of silly and waste of money. BUT now that I am a mama it is just so fun to be festive. To make holidays a little more special than every other day of the year. To wear a special color that day or do some special things in order to celebrate and have fun. I am creating childhood memories for my kids after all why not make the holiday memories be a little extra special.
So that being said me, Noni and Peter wore red, white and blue!
