Fresh Veggies

Here are some shots of Gabrielle's baby carrots that she planted earlier in the Spring. She loves the dirt! We did wash and trim these, although they did not get sprayed with the chlorine bleach solution rumored to be in packaged baby carrots. We have also had a few small tomatoes out of our container garden, but we eat those almost as quicky as they come off the plant.

Sydney

I always post stuff about Miss Mia, so here's a few shots of Sydney.

Don't you just love that Aussie Smile?


And who needs one of those fancy book rests when you have Sydney around? We love Sydney!

Toes

Here's a shot of Gabrielle's pedicure. Rainbow toes!

A Few More Birthday Photos

Are any of these presents for me?

Oooh Fire!

There was hardly room for all those candles!

Birthday Flowers

No Friend like a Sister…

Thanks everyone who called and sent texts to wish Madison happy birthday! She had a fun day.

Madison's Birthday Cake

Madison is 15! We had a fun day celebrating this milestone in her life. For her cake we did a two layer red velvet cake with homemade cream cheese frosting. The cake was then circled about with golden oreo stix and topped with crushed cookies and white chocolate shavings.We tied it together with a lavendar glittery ribbon.


To top it off we dipped beautiful strawberries in white chocolate and placed them atop the cake. It was a delicious, multi-layered birthday treat.

Fuddruckers

We went to lunch at Fuddruckers the other day for Madison's birthday. Here's a cute shot of her with the Beatles in the background!

and since I already had my camera with me, I just had to take this photo:


Apparently they stopped off here on the way to the gym.

Driving

Wednesday was Madison's 15th birthday. The first item of business that day was to go and take her written test to get her learner's permit. She passed and here is the proof! She has been practicing driving everyday since. Congratulations, Madison!
