Our First Harvest of Carrots!

Some of our carrots were ready to be picked, I can't believe how much fun we have had with the garden this year! 

They are so sweet and delicious!



Just Us Girls, Part Two

 Although the dinosaurs were the BIG attraction at the Zoo, Claire also loved the usual attractions too!  Such a cute little birdie, right! 

JUST US GIRLS!

This last weekend Claire and I had a girls day, we woke up, had breakfast and then got ready for the Zoo! 

Claire LOVED the dinosaurs, she literally ran from one dinosaur to the next, I think she might have liked that more than the animals!

As we walked/ran to each dinosaur Claire told me which ones were the mommas and that they were hiding their eggs so that they would be safe, it was pretty cute!

At about the fifth dinosaur Claire explained to me that they were not real and that the rocks near the dinosaurs were the speakers where the noises were coming out of, just in case I didn't know...

All in all it was a really fun morning, although we love it when we all three can spend time together it was so fun being able to have a little girl time! 

Garden Update!

This year was the first time I have ever grown a garden and it has been such a fun experience!  Our sun flowers are about 3 ft tall, I can't wait until they bloom and reach the 10 ft they are supposed to be!

In the planter box we grew sweet peas, carrots, and broccoli.  The carrots and broccoli aren't quite ready yet, but the sweet peas are super sweet and oh my gosh, so delicious!

Along the backside of the planter box we planted pumpkins, gourds, watermelon, and cantaloupe.  So far everything is growing strong and we can't wait to try everything! 

Our Little Oakley!

I can't believe how quickly Oakley has grown up!  Last night Meghan, Tony, Marley, and Oakley came over to finish up our Father's Day celebration and as Marley and Claire were playing upstairs Oakley was enjoying a Popsicle in the back yard with all the adults.  Man, the personality on this cute little girl... Tony better watch out, she will be a heart breaker! 

This is a MUST SEE!  Oakley is just too cute for words!
