Hello Monday?

Hello Monday. Oh wait...it's Thursday. Is it just me or does anyone else think today feels like Monday? Having a holiday in the middle of the week kinda throws off your schedule.

Hello Thursday! It was a beautiful, yet hot day...and it's only going to get warmer with the weekend...100+!

Hello Oatmeal Bake...definitely a yummy start to the morning. We enjoyed our breakfast even more so by having a picnic per Braxton's request. :)

Hello pooltime. Not only do you provide entertainment, but you help keep us cool with the heat.

Hello mini corndog muffins. Enjoyable lunch for both child and adult.

Hello sunshine...I'm soaking up as much as I can.

Hello cute little feet. Why can't my feet look as cute as his? ;)

Hello garden. You are growing wonderfully...I'm looking forward to enjoying the many things you're beginning to grow!

Hello lavender. Beautiful.

Hello umbrella. Thanks for providing some much needed shade.

Hello popsicle lips and arm. You're cute.

Quote of the day...

While sitting in the pool, Braxton says to me, "Let's take a break and visit."

I sure do love that kid!

Friday Favorites

::Mexican Food! Homemade beans, tortillas & churros...Mmm! Not pictured - Dalila (a lady from church) taught Maggie and I how to make sopitas on Tuesday night...that was the first time I had ever had them and they are delicious!::

sorry about the really poor picture quality :)

::Soy de los estados unidos y hablo ingles. Hablo un poco de espanol. Dalila also started teaching Maggie & I Spanish. I'm also doing Mango laguages online through our library. I can't wait till I'm able to having a conversation with someone beyond telling them that I'm from the US and speak English and a little bit of Spanish...lol::

::Our garden is starting to grow!::

::English Muffin Bread - this is so easy to make and very yummy!::

!Que tenga un buen dia!

Gardening

This year we planted a garden. We don't have the space to do one big one, but we have 7 different raised beds (and 1 more that has flowers in it). :) Four in the back yard, and 4 in the front yard! Plus...2 topsy turvy's. We planted a variety of things and while some are coming up really well, others are taking their sweet time. Here are some pictures I took today of everything...I put text on each picture, but now I'm wondering if I wasted my time since it's hard to even see what I wrote. I guess I'll add a caption underneath for those who don't want to click on the pics. :)
