linking up with Jeanette @ Life Rearranged

 

 saturday me and the boys flew kites they got for easter

at lake kyle. we brought along some old bread to feed the ducks too.

 



 

love this field of bluebonnets i found on the back roads from our house

it's someone's pasture

so i just took pics from the fence

i didn't dare try to plop my kiddos down in the middle of them like i did when they were little

 

 

like we need to be reminded to EAT

but i love the red color in my kitchen

 

 

friday night adam surprised me with an impromptu night out

just the two of us

he even arranged the babysitter

an overnight babysitter :)

i have the best husband

 

 

boy's are studying texas history this last 10 weeks of school

next week they are to dress like cowboys all day

then they are having a program complete with texas songs and stick horses

this boy was super happy with his new pearl snap shirt and cowboy boots

he was NOT a fan of the cheap little hat i bought

he said he wants a REAL cowboy hat

 

 

today they took this book to school to share with their class

the story of the magnificent SAM Houston!

Uncle happens to know the author and illustrator and sent the boy's a signed copy :)

way cool!

great story

thanks Uncle ;)

backyard gardens

one of our favorite summer traditions is to grow a garden in the backyard. seriously, we all love it! a little TLC and we've grown some nice big cucumbers. (lots of water and rich soil) they are sneaky and tricky to see at first. they start out looking like this. the first one we found was already 6-7 inches long. they hide pretty well on the vine. the taste is so fresh out of the garden!
the boys find the lady bugs right away
, and the nice honey bees.zucchini has always been hard for us to grow. it starts out looking great, but then the heat zaps it dead. maybe this will be our year. fried zucchini! yummyokra, strawberries, peppers, onions...all the good stuff ;} thankful for a great gardening season thus far. we are really enjoying all our raised beds in the back.
