Quite possibly the cutest girls around...

Rylie is growing up.

Rylie started school this week. Okay, so its just preschool but she is pretty excited about it. We've had lots of fun talking about the fun songs they are learning and the fun things she has been doing at school. Saige keeps asking when she can go too. The pics are of her today and I will post some of her 1st day soon.

A Sophisticated Mom...

I'm not usually a big promoter of other people's blogs but I had to post this link. This is my friend Jaime's blog and she always has amazing recipe's online. I hope you enjoy the posts as much as I do.

Another look at my garden...

So, Do you remember my post about green tomatoes? Well, I was given the advice (thanks Aunt Sherri) to pick a few of my tomatoes and place them in the sunny window sill in my kitchen. As you can see, they are slowly but surely beginning to turn red. I went out today to check out the progress of my other plants and I saw one lone red tomato. I was so excited that I brushed the spider off of it and began to eat it. I didn't think to take a picture until after my first bite.


I also saw something peculiar looking back at me from my pumpkin plant. Let me remind you that we planted our garden late this year so instead of planting seeds I opted to plant starts purchased from the store. I didn't think to be concerned about the accuracy of the tags in each pot.
Does this look like a pumpkin to you?



I am happy to report that my jalepeno peppers are doing great! Yummy! Now I am excited to make salsa.

She cracks me up!

Today while watching the Olympics with Evan Rylie had a profound question..."Daddy, Why are those boys wearing panties?"

Saige's First Time to the Beach

Here are a couple more pics of Rylie's birthday which was also Saige's first time to the beach. What more could a 2 year old want when they have the worlds biggest sand box!

Rylie's 4th Birthday!

Rylie celebrated her 4th birthday on July 23rd at the beach in Oregon. We celebrated with a little party at the park just above the beach and then hit the beach for some fun in the sun. We had a great time! I love the sound of the ocean!
