Bounties and Swimming

Welcome Summer! We've been enjoying the heat (those of us who are not 8 months pregnant anyway) with swimming in the backyard. We set this up last Saturday and the girls were entertained for hours.

I also picked up my first Bountiful Basket Saturday and we've loved it! I gave some to a friend because it was way too much for our family! In case you haven't heard of it, here's the link. It really is a good deal. I would pay weekly for the convinience factor alone! They always have 6 fruits and 6 vegetables. The only drawback is that they sell out quickly so you have to be one of the first ones online to buy one. This week in my basket I got:
1 head of Romaine
15 baby heads of Bok Choy
3 Tomatoes
4 Red Peppers
8 Potatoes
6 Ears of Corn (it was super sweet and sooooo tasty!)
7 Apples
1 Bag of Grapes
1 Bag of Peaches
1 Bunch of Bananas
1 Carton of Blackberries
1 Honeydew Melon

Like I said, it was great! For dinner tonight we had stir fry with the bok choy, corn and peaches and cream. It was all delicious. For me the best part is that it gets my kids to eat vegetables. I put most of the fruits in a bowl on the table and Lilly went right over and grabbed herself a banana and an apple (and ate most of them!). For those of you who know her, fruits and vegetables are not so much her thing. Sophia's favorite has been the corn and peaches. I hope that this is somthing that will continue throughout the summer as long as I remember to sign up on Monday at 4!

My Little Jazzbird

Sophia had her last dance recital for the year last night. She was so excited about it and did great! Here's some of her many poses.
Lilly just had to get in on the picture action too.

Here's she is with her favorite friend Rachel. They both did so great.

Their first number was "I'm a Little Jazz Bird". I realized halfway through the song that the camera was not recording. Sorry. You get the idea though.

For her last number, all the preschool classes danced to "Mambo 111". I really liked this one. It's crazy to see how far she's come this year. She really did learn a lot and I'm glad we did it!

Memorial Day Fishing

We headed down to Scofield on Memorial Day to go fishing. We had a great time. The girls got some new glasses for the occasiont that they were pretty excited about.

The morning started out pretty cold but once the sun came out it was nice and warm.
Unfortunately the sun also brought out the bugs. They were so bad! Luckily they weren't biting bugs but they were still plenty buggy. Doug and Sophia spent most of the morning like this.

At least the scenery was beautiful and we got to see some pelicans.
Fishermen at work.The fish weren't biting but we did have some success. Doug caught the brown one at the bottom and was pretty proud of himself for getting the biggest one. We ended up catching a few more before the bugs drove us away. We also caught a crawdad which was pretty cool. We let it go though.

Overall it was pretty fun and nice to spend time with family!

Cute Note

Sophia made this note for her daddy the other day. She left it out for him so that he could write her back. I love all her little details and how she manages to arrange every random piece of paper she finds on one page.
