berry fun.

we have been picking berries like crazy at my mom's. This is the best yield they have ever had and my poor mom is not even here to enjoy them!






making lots, lots and lots of jam....


and cleaning up lots and lots of messes.....

Ballet

Kate had her ballet recital on Saturday. Darn cute. but the whole time I thought I was video recording and I forgot to press the PLAY button. who knew you had to press play when recording something. anyways hopefully I can get it from friend. AND then all of you will have the great pleasure of watching 4 year olds prance around in little tu-tu's .

I know I posted way to many pictures...but I just had too. Forgive me please.










they each got to gallop across the stage. Kate was worried that her gallop was not up to par. But I was a PROUD PARENT.

TOP 5

1. Happy Birthday to ME! and..................................

(ezra's family got me my favorite cake-red robin MUD PIE!!)

My brother Troy, sister Tricia and her husband Adam. Yep we all share the same June 2nd birthday. and WE love it right guys! We took this picture on my wedding day. all the birthday buddies. My mom knew what she was doing when she had all of us on the same day. Absolutely brilliant.




2. Ezra's baby sister jessica Graduated from high school.

His parents are now Officially EMPTY NESTER'S!! wow.






3. Our 7th year Anniversary.

He still makes my heart pitter-patter.

4. Twins blessing and Shawn and Kristy coming to Visit.


Beautiful beautiful babies!

5. Fishing in grandpa's pond with the cousins. and looking at the moo's.

the kids petting the fish. kate is so prissy but she really wanted to pet it.

sammy caught this fish but was a little frightened by that, and his dad did not like that!!

this was the first catch of the day. kate was very proud of her fish. She kept saying" I caught a rainbow sprout"! I just love this pond. you never go home skunked.

Now lets see your highlights!

Before and After

Except I don't have the before picture but I know my family remembers what this hutch used to look like....yep this one used be the one in our old house...I know, I know you are not so sure about the green..but trust me in due time it will start to grow on you. promise.





I am still looking for some big glass door knobs to stick on the doors, and then maybe if my sister will part ways with some of her wallpaper I want to use that for the back part of the hutch.

p.s who remembers the green swan?
