LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

And... in a blink of an eye the kids are done with another school year! (School ended on Friday 6.21)

Walking to school on the last day

Last day tradition: Doing the HOKEY POKEY on the front lawn

Gift for the teacher

Treats for classmates

Having fun with shaving cream, water balloons, and swimming in the pool. Not a bad way to end the school year!

We ate hot dogs, hamburgers, and finished off with ice cream cone cupcakes made by our neighbor, Mona.

We also had fruit, and made sundaes. 

The kids were exhausted! 

Time to wake up late, relax, go out, and do all the fun things that Summer brings!.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD!

My husband is a very amazing Dad. We're so lucky and blessed to have him in our lives!. A lot of times I tell him he's just like a kid. So, the other day while I was at Barnes and Noble, I spotted this book, I had to buy it for him. It's perfect!

We also gave him a photo holder from Target. I found three printables and tada... it turned out so cute.

The two chalkboard printables are from Second chance to dream, and the third one is from
The 36th Avenue


For a couple of our neighbors we bought 2 liter soda bottles and added these adorable tie printables from Bargain Shopper Mom

I made him blueberry pancakes with bacon and strawberry slices for breakfast.It was so good.

Happy Father's Day!

U-PICK-'EM: Strawberries

This is our first time doing this, and it was a nice family activity. I highly recommend it.At this farm (Alstede Farms), you can either walk to the  strawberry fields close to the entrance, or you can take a hayride to another area. We chose the latter, it made it seem like a greater adventure. The kids liked it!.

We picked as many as we thought we can eat, and I guess we'll share some. They are " BERRY SWEET!".

Catching Up...

I wish life wouldn't move so fast, or maybe I should keep up with it, at least blog about it, that is. I'm going to try to post about our  activities  these past few months. So bear with me, events  may have occurred a while back.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures!

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY TO OUR JASON!

Happy 8th birthday to a very loving son. I thank God for blessing us with you!

I thought it would be nice to display his birthday pictures, along with some of the invites and items from each party (except the mini gumball machine). Eventually I'll put these in shadowboxes for him.

For his 1st birthday, I took the idea from a Martha Stewart Kids magazine, there was a caterpillar cake that I just adored!

This year's party is a bakery theme, you can see the invitation on the right. The party will be next Saturday. Today we're just celebrating with a few family members.

When I look at these, all the memories come to me. It also makes me realize how fast time flies!

May Jason be blessed with many more happy and healthy birthdays!
