Just winding down from celebrating Cameron's 6th birthday. It has been an exciting 2 days! After hosting art co-op, we celebrated with our friends with a rice krispy cake. Later that evening, we hosted a pizza/carrot cake party for the family and the 2 friends that he wanted to spend the night. Everything was (Of course) Harry Potter themed.  Cameron dressed up like Harry Potter, I decorated the house and I made potions that were displayed all over the house.  Also, his brother decorated his room like Diagon Alley and printed Harry Potter money and made a shop with jarred items for sale.  Cameron gave it a thumbs up! His brother also crocheted him a magic wand belt and made him a spaceship simulator box that he made by creating his own circuits.  He surprised everyone with his engineering and illustrated how he wired in all the LEDs and switches.  He even made a joystick that he put a switch on top that when pushed, turned on a red lazer light on the front of the ship.

I am so thankful for my sweet Cameron.  He is a delight to be around every day and a true gift in my life.
I LOVE YOU SON!

Country folk

We went to Rehoboth Ranch which is an organic grass fed ranch in Greenville. We milked goats, collected eggs, took a hayride, played with some kittens, watched a blacksmith make a dagger, played with some friends and heard some down-home music. Gorgeous day!











Memorial Day

Spent a fun day in my brother's new pool for Memorial day. Didn't take many pictures, but enjoyed ourselves. His backyard is gorgeous!


Platform 9 3/4

Special delivery yesterday morning for my soon to be six-year-old! It came straight from Hogwarts to prepare him for his Harry Potter birthday. An hour later, I was battling the 6 foot snake in our garage. The boys seem to think the snake had something to do with Harry Potter. I think the magic is getting a little too real over here. Yikes!

Fun at the Lake

Our co-op for the semester ended recently and we had a party to celebrate. We went to the lake and had a huge potluck, went kayaking and played in the water all day. Other than getting a little too much sun, it was a wonderful day. I'm so thankful to be friends with such great families!

Juicing

Here are the boys helping me to make fresh carrot juice. Yummy.

Awnings

My dad came over this weekend and after recovering his old awnings that he refurbished and painted, we installed them over my back deck. It was a lot of work, but I love them. Thanks Abuelo!
