Gardening

After we got back from the park this afternoon, we harvested two huge bowls of basil. Dad plans to make A LOT of pesto!

Jordan was eating the basil while picking it.

We also cut back the cantaloupe forest, but found a few cantaloupes growing. Not ripe yet.

Dad picked and used some Japanese eggplants for a delicious veggie lasagna. Will have to take photos of the eggplants next time!

So far this year, from our garden: Strawberries, Tomatoes, Eggplant, Cantaloupe (growing not harvested), basil and other herbs (sage and rosemary), Blueberries (but no sign of fruit) and Peppers!

Cousins Cousins!!

Chelsea came last week with her friend to visit us for a week. We went to the Canals one night to feed the ducks.

I always wear a hat and my sock mittens (which I take off to feed the ducks).

Vicki came for Friday and Saturday night. I haven't seen Vicki since I was very little, but we bonded immediately.

Jordan decided he wanted to cook us a meal.

While he was cooking, we went out for a mani/pedi....just us girls.

And, in the afternoon, we went to Mother's Beach park.

Today, Stephanie surprised me and Jordan at the fun "new" (well, it's been around for several months) park.

Jordan just wanted to keep up with me and all the other big kids.

He even wanted to climb up the rock climber. He couldn't get up, but he was able to climb the grass hill on the other side. Incredible.

La Brea Tarpits - Field Trip

Today, I went with my preschool friends to La Brea Tarpits and the museum. The most fun was rolling down the hill. Sure, the dinosaurs were interesting, but this was FUN!

Friday Night Duck Feeding

Nico's 3rd Birthday

At Nico's 3rd Birthday, I drew our family on the white board. Mama reminded me that I forgot Mystic and Camille.

Jordan loved the bouncy house

Tomatoes (from our garden)!!

Look Who's Walking!

Gigi's Lemonade Stand

Richard, NannyG's 13 year old son, wanted to do a lemonade stand with me today, so he convinced Grace that we needed t-shirts! As you can see, we all have t-shirts and I have a yellow hat, flip flops and sunglasses....what a fun day (note pictures are in reverse order of time).

Lunch break!

Jordan loves Jack, Mary's dog.

Jordan took a bite of the lemon and then realized it wasn't so good.
