Cinco De Mayo

Have you ever seen so many kids in one neighborhood? Everyone brought a Mexican dish and it was all really good food. Maybe Nathan didn't think so but he even found a cheese quesadilla to eat.

Sunshine Day

Leeds

We took a lunch up to a campground in Leeds this Sunday. I love that we are only minutes away from the mountains. The boys shot their BB guns and we ran into this tree they call the "Bee Tree." It is about 4 1/2 ft. wide but only the outer 6-8 inches are still living. The inside is completely hollow from lightning damage and full of honey bees. It has survived a number of wildfires, and in fact the top is gone, burnt off. This tree is approximately 600 years old, one of the oldest trees in the area. It has been around longer than our constitution or the Mayflower. This tree is not the prettiest tree but it has a lot of history and a heart as sweet as honey.

Spring!

A bird built a nest on our back porch when we moved in and has made little families of birds ever since. We can look out our back window and watch the mom feeding them crickets and other bugs.

Punky I wanna jump!

When Brooklyn wants to go outside her best bet is Nathan. She loves her punky and he loves her. Nathan takes off his shirt so Brooklyn does too. But she doesn't stop there, who needs pants! This is how she ends up most everyday, just ask the neighbors. I love how happy they look in these pictures.
