jump for joy!!

look what happened to come to our town. you can imagine my joy as i was driving down the road and saw the "coming soon" sign!! i love this place . . . if you live in boise and haven't eaten at cafe rio before you are in for a treat. it is similar to costa vida, but in my opinion much better. you'll have to give it a try. my favorite is the pork salad with the tomatillo dressing . . . and for dessert, the tres leches. yum!


seven months

oh how i wish there was a way to slow down the clock. isn't it funny how seven months of pregnancy lasts forever, but the first months of life are gone in the blink of an eye! we are crazy for this girl, what a treat she has been.

101%

we all celebrated when abi brought this paper home from school last week. spelling is something she has to work really hard at . . . it doesn't come easily to her. i love to see my kids work for and accomplish hard things. way to go abi!!



for the love of peaches

one of my favorite things about fall are the peaches. this year i went to a church orchard here in the valley and picked peaches right off the tree with my kids. first, we filled a bin for the church, and then we picked for ourselves. we came home with so many peaches, once you start picking it's hard to stop! we have been pounding down the peaches around here - peaches for every meal. i wish they would just last forever, but we have to eat them while they are good. i made peach leather with the bruised peaches, and we've had peach cobbler, peach pie and of course peach smoothies. i love that the kids come home from school and grab fresh peaches for after school snacks. we are almost through the last of our peaches for the season, they have definitely been a real treat.

yesterday i was trying to get some pictures of the little lady and she was not cooperating. abi, was helping me and gave lydi a little taste of her peach. she quickly took over and i snapped a few of her juicy and sweet.

back to school

every year i try to take back to school pictures of the kidlets. here they are - another year older and wiser too . . . except for the littlest lady, she's still working on her first year:)
