Happy Memorial Day!

We are so thankful for all of our blessings; First, we thank the Lord, and secondly, all those who have so bravely pursued the freedoms we cherish, as a country and as individuals. And we pray for the troops who bravely serve today.

We had a lovely weekend. Sunday we enjoyed Cuyamaca State Park, visiting Green Valley Falls, Lake Cuyamaca, and Julian. And Monday, a relaxing BBQ with family.

Memorial Photoshow!

 

Swap Meet Find!

Saturday we went to the swap meet to look for "treasures." I unsuccessfully searched for a camera lens, Jarrett wanted a metal detector, and David had no specific treasure in mind...but he found one...a sander for his workshop! While Jarrett did not find his detector, we did find a pair of shoes - new in the box! :) "ALL" the junior high kids wear Converse high tops, so Jarrett has been wanting a pair...however, I was not going to pay $40+ for them...we found these knock-offs for $10! He LOVES them...and they are so cute on him! :)

Summer!

Summer is on it's way! My snack was so yummy I had to take a picture of it! Not really, it was a good subject for me to practice my photography...nonetheless...it screams SUMMER! We have already started a list of "things to do this summer," so we will be busy having F-U-N! I cannot believe Jarrett "graduates" from Kindergarten in two weeks...where has time gone?

Thought for the day: "I will praise the Lord with my whole heart!" Psalm 111:1a

Happy Mother's Day!

Weekend Update!

We had a busy weekend! Friday afternoon we went to Morgan's 2nd birthday party, and the kids had a blast at Partytown! Friday evening Jarrett had a performance for a Mother's Day Tea. He was not excited about getting up on stage, but he did GREAT - and he looked so handsome! We did our mother's day shopping on Saturday and had a nice BBQ at home. Sunday we went to church and then we were off to visit the Moms! First stop, Lake Jennings to see Grammy, then up to Alpine to see Grandma! The Nipper Family joined us at Grandma and Papa's house, and it is was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed the spa, rode their dirt bike/quad (the dads played a little too), and we had a yummy BBQ. It was a great day!

Lizard Fishing!

Today David showed Jarrett how to "fish" for lizards! They were very successful! No animals were harmed in their adventures! :)
