I Scream

I have really wanted to give ice cream making a try.  So today while I was at Wal-Mart I picked up this little ice cream maker.  I found a recipe for vanilla ice cream on pinterest and gave it a try.  It turned out pretty good.

Bloom

When I went  outside today I found these pretty little things!  I'm so excited that my flowers are blooming.  I planted them as seeds.

Happy Birthday!

How is it possible that this little girl is 3 today!?!  She is getting so big.  She is quite the chatter box too.  She speaks in full sentences.  She is potty trained.  She has a pre-school screening in just a couple of weeks.  Pre-school!  What!?!  She had a really good birthday and got a lot of great presents.  A mermaid Dora, a sleeping Dora, a Disney princess castle, and lots of new clothes.  And she got a Dora ice cream cake.  Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!!

Dead Bird

So I went out to water the flowers this morning and the kids brought my attention to the dead bird in our yard.  It's just out in the middle....not under a tree or anything.  I'm kind of curious as to how he died.

Summer Fun

Our neighbor put this little pool up for the kids...and she even gets in with them.  She is way braver than I am.  The kids love it though, and we have been spending a lot of time out back in this little pool. 

Daddy's Home

This afternoon we got to pick Jonathan up from the airport.  I think we were all excited to see Daddy.  While waiting the kids entertained themselves going up and down the stairs.  I'm so thankful Jon is home.  Being a single parent is hard work.

Daddy's Car

We have been spending a lot of time outside lately.  Normally when we are outside Jon's car is at work with him...but since he is gone this week it's been in our driveway.  For some reason the kids have started climbing on his car and sliding down the windshield.  I have had to get them off several times....not before I took a picture though.
