Food / June Monthly Challenge (Blog Circle)

My friends and I started a little challenge. Every month we are going to step out of our comfort zone and take pictures of things that might not be easy. Then we circle to each persons blog so you can see their interpretation. These are all pictures from our garden. Please click through the circle to Mary's blog and see how she interpreted this months challenge!

Happy Birthday Milo!

This little boy is one of the sweetest little boys you will ever know. He is kind, so sweet, fun and funny. He loves to make you laugh and make himself laugh. He SCREAMS "MOMMY" or "DADDY" no matter if he just saw you 5 mins ago. He gives the very best hugs, he grabs your face with is two tiny hands to give you a kiss on the lips, he has the most hilarious cry face I have ever seen. I can't help but laugh. He looooves his big sister and lets her boss him around. He has lots of friends at school and always has a story to share. He obliges to my every attempt at a photoshoot. He looooves hats which we think he wears so very well. I hardly ever remember a day without his sweet spirit and smile. Some days I can't believe we have two kids and the youngest is 3!!! Other days I can't believe our sweet boy is 3 already!

Watch it grow

We planted this planter with bulbs and they just started to appear as the kids left for Grandparent Camp. I kept a close eye on the planter and snapped daily iphone pictures for the kids. I only missed a few days while they were away. But you get the general idea. If you want to see all of the pictures with side views, click here. It is actually pretty impressive in size!

Birthday Party Time!!!

The kids participate in PlayBall every week at school and have really enjoyed it. So I thought, why not do a PlayBall birthday party for Milo! However Milo had a different opinion and wanted a Superheros party. So we settled on a PlayBall/Superhero birthday party which he was pretty stoked about! The kids stayed really engaged and seem to really get into the activity. The coach was super great and despite the heat, kept them going. BIG thank you to Amy for spending time to help me with the cake. Click here to see all of the pictures.
