A New American Citizen

My daughter-in-law, Rebecca, has now officially become a citizen of the United States of America.  What a fun day for her, my son, and their children.

Visitors in the Herbs

17th - I m so excited!!!  I walked out to check the herbs today and discovered that FOUR caterpillars have claimed the fennel as their home.  The last time this happened, here is the POST about it.  We only had one before -- four is crazy.

Joshua's Turn - Days 3 & 4

Day 3 with Josh and since he won't be here on Sunday, I take him down to the coffee shop all by myself.  We are having a stay in the neighborhood morning and will go meet Grandpa tonight.  For now, though, let's walk.  Hot chocolate with whipped cream and caramel syrup along with a cinnamon roll.  He should be revved up.

Once back home, we are into cookie mode.  Chocolate chip is the order, and sso chocolate chip it shall be.

Aprons on, let's get this going.

Joshua's Turn - Days 1 & 2

A Sunday morning walk to the coffee shop with Mister and upon our return, Josh arrives for his days with us.  First up:  grocery shopping at Central Market and then back home to cook dinner.  While I work on that, he and Grandpa take some time to photograph our herbal visitors.

I love it when Grandpa works with the kids to learn his love for photography.  They start seeing things differently and the whole world becomes a much more interesting place.  Oh -- we have a total of four visitors.

A Fun Father's Day Gift

Jen has once again found a unique Father's Day gift for my sweet Mister --- he is all smiles over it.

Utah Fun Day 4

Wow, the saying that "time flies when you are having fun" definitely holds true this week.  It's my last day here and I want to make some more memories.  Farm Country is our destination for the day and it's a new one for me.  Woohoo.

The first thing we see when we enter the doors is a container full of baby chicks.  Well, not really baby, more like juvenile but fun all the same.

Utah Fun Day 3

Good morning!  We are up and moving.  Ophelia has a tumbling class starting today and that means the day is already underway.  We arrive at the rec center on time and discover that she doesn't have a class today - it starts next week.  A Mommy oops.  Oh well, quick stops at the games and climbing wall before we depart for our planned second activity today.
