spring is here

Last night was a beautiful night. It was warm outside and the sun was actually shining. We took advantage of the great weather and went for a walk along the green-belt with Candace, Chad, and Emma. The guys ran while the two mommas pushed our strollers with our kidlets inside. This was the sun just as it was setting, I thought it looked neat with the silohettes of the trees.

Carmela's Vineyard

Over last weekend we went down to Glenn's Ferry Idaho to celebrate Jeff's mom's birthday which coincidentally falls on the same day as my mom's birthday...what are the odds? We met at Carmela's vineyard/golf course for a nice family lunch. The picture below is of the clubhouse/restaurant, we are hoping to do some golfing out there when it warms up.The vineyard is right on the edge of the canyon so the views are beautiful and provides a nice setting for a get together. It is also half way between our homes so that is a nice for everyone. We had a great lunch and were able to celebrate Debbie's Birthday with Jeff's family and Bay got to see one of his great grandma's again.

too fast

Bay is growing up entirely too fast. He is already 9 months old. It is amazing how fast little ones grow. Jeff is always saying how excited he is that Bay is getting bigger but as a mother It makes me sad because I know he will never be the little infant or baby again, but instead a precious little boy. He recently discovered our refrigerator, a new place to explore.

My mom was recently in town for the weekend and part of this week. Can I just say that moms are the best! We had such a wonderful time together.

While she was here we cooked some of the best food I have ever had. We made this pulled pork salad like they serve at this restaurant called cafe rio it was sooo good. This photo is of the masterpiece before we dug in.
We also went to Archivers the scrapbook store and did a little shopping. But the majority of the time we just cooked amazing food and just visited with each other. I wish so badly that she was closer so we could get together more often. I am grateful though for the time that we do get to spend together it is so nice being just a short flight away.
