This week has been a really hard week. Gary says that nobody wants to see food pictures of other people's kids, but I think this is cute, so deal with it.

Local fruits


Gary grew up somewhat in Oregon and talks non-stop about the blackberries. But our Tejas neighborhood gets blackberries this time of year -not Oregon berries- but nonetheless fun to pick with Miss L and then make something out of. We went picking out at the soccer fields and nearly got eaten alive by mosquitoes despite the bug spray last night, and then our FHE treat tonight was cobbler, and it was delicious.

I think I may have to go back to park and get some more for jam. We'll see.

Weekend Recap

What a weekend. I had 2 big events and 1 little one.


1) I have been married for 6 years. Did we ever have a hot date. I went to Swarma-king, which was a dive, and delicious, and my sister Katie and my Dad would've loved it. Actually my whole family would've loved it. Then we saw State of Play at the theater which was good, and made out in the theater during all the previews like I wasn't the mother of 2 until our Relief Society president came and sat in front of us. I had 5 glorious hours with just my husband.


2) Lil' G turned 1, and Miss L and I made a lion cake. We ate it for breakfast.

My frosting covered boy.

3) I had my spring piano recital. The kids really did well. They all sounded very good. It is fun to hear them improve every recital. No cookies this time. With all the events of the weekend, store bought had to do. I actually was a little paranoid about swine flu and homemade germs, I know silly, but it ended up saving me a lot of work and probably let me enjoy my other events that much more.
