A vegetable garden...

Avery loves to help Grandma Donna and Grandma Van Dyke in their gardens, so when she received a vegetable garden of her own to plant, it.was.a.must! We recruited our "green thumb" neighbor, Tim, to help us...

How appropriate, a taco garden...we love mexican food!

Mother's Day....

Thank you mom for setting an example of how I should be as a mom :)

 This is a photo of me with my mom when I was Stella's age.  Stella looks more like me and Avery looks more like Todd.I had a wonderful mother's day...thank you Avery, Todd and Stella!

Happy Half Birthday, Stellie!

Stella you are 18 months old today.  Hard to believe we've been sharing laughs and love for 1.5 years!



Picnic at the Zoo...

 This weekend was suppose to be nice, so Todd and Avery had big plans...

A picnic at the zoo!

Friday after school, Avery and I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and got a picnic basket. (I foresee many picnics this summer.) Todd and Avery created our yummy feast- chicken salad, tuna salad, quinoa  & fruit and off the the zoo we went....

(It was in the 50's today and rained last night, but that didn't stop us.)

(The grass was wet)
