Today is my mom's birthday. She's the b-o-m-b. Mom can do anything and everything and always look cute doing it! We went strawberry picking today at Huber's and it was hot, somehow I don't think mom broke a sweat. Me on the other hand, had a nasty, sweaty shirt on with my hair sticking to my face. The kids were covered in strawberry juice- they had a blast! Every berry Elan picked went directly into his mouth.We rode a tractor out to the berry patch, here we go...
Anna got a 'grandaddy' strawberry
Mac was a good picker!
Elan was a good eater!
A bumper crop of beauties!
We picked almost 18 pounds of strawberries, so we'll be eating them for a while! Tonight, strawberry shortcake, tomorrow, yogurt + strawberries + granola for breakfast, tomorrow nights dessert, vanilla ice cream with strawberries on top... this is what summer is all about!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful birthday tribute and for the ball we had at Huber's and at your delicious dinner. What a great birthday! I love my "tape" and especially all my birthday drawings and treasured letter.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to get the grains of sugar out of my strawberry preserves right now!
I LOVE YOU!
The strawberries look delicious and the kids as cute as can be. I heard that the kids had a ball together on Monday. Hope to see everyone this summer, maybe at the pool.
