Sweet Summer Comin'

Hey there! The past few days have been hot and sunny... shades of what is coming up for summer I suppose! When I think of summer, I usually think of fresh, sweet fruit and the pool, of course! Last summer, we went to a local farm and picked our own strawberries. The fruit was delicious and the kids had a real experience... it was so much fun!
Elan is saying, "look at this big one!" right before he popped it in his mouth. He must have eaten 100 strawberries that day, even his fingers were stained red.

I have been doing simpler layouts lately. Not because of little time, but because I just want my hobby to be easy and fun. I used to stress over a layout not being perfect and would work on it for days. Now, I scrap what I want and if it's done in an hour... well, right on!

Enjoy your night... I have b-day preps for hubby to do before morning! ;)

I hate rain when all 3 kids are home. It's a recipe for disaster: fights, tormenting, T.V. on, constant pestering, and pure boredom. Yuck. Today was torture. I did manage to get laundry done and I made my first batch of strawberry jam from those luscious berries we picked. Looks good and tastes good too!

I'm hoping to do some scrapping tonight, so I'll post those pics tomorrow. Have a good one!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

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!
And for tonight... celebrating mom's birthday here with a Southwest chicken salad and margaritas! Cheers! Mom, I hope you have a great birthday and all your birthday wishes come true! Love you so much!
