Camping

We recently took a little trip out to Kern County for a little camping fun with our friends, the Weisers.

It only took 2 hours to get there, but Dylann has recently been very impatient on the road. She was constantly yelling, "Are we there yet?" Didn't help that the majority of the ride looked like this



When we arrived at our final destination, Buena Vista Campground on Lake Webb, it was a balmy 98 degrees!!!! So we spent our days doing this



But once the sun would start setting, we would all get back onto dry land to enjoy views like this



It was hot, dirty, and uncomfortable at times, but I swear - I always end up having so much fun camping!!! And I don't think I'd ever seen Dylann have so much fun in her little life!

Preschool Graduate

Hip, Hip, Hooray! You've done great things!

On Wednesday, June 16, 2010 Dylann's graduated from preschool. She's officially moving on and will no longer be a "monkey" in Ms. Stefanie's classroom.



The entire class celebrated by spending the morning at the park, then walking back to class to perform a song for the parents, reading Curious You, and giving hugs to their beloved teacher.



Congratulations to Incredible, Capable, Curious You - Miss Dylann!!!

Produce

We were harvesting our carrots yesterday and look what we found:



You can't find produce like this in your local supermarket!

And by the way - it was delicious!

Pillowcase Dress

A while back, I went down to the Rose Bowl Flea Market. I purchased a stack of vintage pillowcases with the intention to make something with them someday.



Well, someday finally came and this is what became of that pillowcase:



A sweet smocked dress with ruffled straps for my daughter. Perfect for the beginning of Summer!

Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend as much as we are!

Happy Mother's Day!
