the hat

Thursday, June 30, 2011

We were recently at Old Navy, just browsing, and found this adorable fedora for Baby Boy. I snapped a photo with my phone and posted it on Facebook, but put it back as it was kind of pricey!
Well, Nana saw the picture and heard we had put it back. She demanded we return and buy it for him. She would send some money ASAP.
She said it was too adorable to pass up...I have to agree!
Thank you NANA! :)

cucumber, mint & ginger infused water
What you will need:

1 spring of fresh mint (washed)
8 slices English cucumber (wash well if not organic)
4 thin slices fresh ginger
32 oz. fresh filtered water

I prefer to prepare this water in a 32 oz. mason jar.
Add all ingredients, and cap tightly with lid. Give it a good shake and refrigerate for one hour.
(If you intend to consume immediately, add a few ice cubes before shaking and enjoy!)

What blessings are you thankful for today?

// Flashback Friday // 2010 Vacation - Day 4 - The Last Day

Friday, June 24, 2011

A family photo before we checked out of the beach house.

Just the babes...My Girl is looking very sun-kissed here..

Before we headed home, we toured the town... I loved the colorfulness of the surroundings! Very touristy though. ;)

We stopped and "fed" the sharks... :)

Surfed a bit...

On our way out of town I asked My Love to pull over near this jetty, so I could get a picture of this boat.

And then I asked nicely if I could snap a few of My Girl. She graciously obliged.

Good To The Last Drop

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Baby Boy has taken to indulging in the last drops of my latte every morning (mostly foam.) He climbs into my lap and dips his fingers in. It's quite cute! :)

Father's Day 2011

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Last week while planning our menu, I made plans to make a Dr Pepper cake for My Love for Father's Day.
I guess My Girl took it as the theme because she went all out with the decorations and little creative touches. (can you spot the Dr Pepper confetti? :)

After a slow morning at home eating pancakes (I made BACON, and put a little in My Loves pancake batter.) and gardening we spent the afternoon and evening with dear friends and had yummy mexican food for dinner.
The last two images show My Love's "loot." My Girl was really creative with her gifts...me, not so much. But I got him something he wanted. ;)

1. The way Baby Boy says "Love You" when someone is going away or he is going to bed. (It sounds like THIS) 2. the backyard sandbox provides great entertainment, until Baby Boy decides he needs a snack and puts a BIG shovel full of sand in his mouth. Even then it's pretty humorous to see the sand "beard" he has acquired! ;) 3. my little garden helper 4. morning snuggles with these two beautiful souls 5. braiding My Girl's beautiful hair...she has started to have a preference on how to wear her hair these days, and most of the time her choice is a ponytail. I think their cute, but love it when she lets me braid it, or she wears it down in flowing golden curls... 6. My Love...he's a good sport...puts up with "one more shot babe, your eyes were closed" or "that one was out of focus!" ;) 7. My Love swinging Baby Boy in the 102 degree heat, while I make dinner amongst the A/C...see I told you he was a good sport! :) 8. a FULL refrigerator and pantry!

// Flashback Friday // 2010 Vacation - Day 3

Friday, June 10, 2011

As we are currently planning our 2011 Vacation, I thought it would be a good idea to finish posting our 2010 Vacation pictures. I have two more days to post.
Day 3 was by far my favorite day and resulted in a lot of pictures!
