Our latest Harvest

Payton and Kyndal stayed with us and this is what Kyndal wanted to show me after staying at our house for the week.  Yep....we are a little bit country! 

Kyndal helping Mason enjoy a bite of plum 

Plums, sungold cherry tomatoes, carrots, plouts and tomatoes 

Fresh picked goodness 

This is the precious picture Nonie sent to Caleb and I of the kids....so cute, love Mason's cute expression!  And we were so excited to get back to continue harvesting our fruits and vegetables.

Silly picture

Nonie drove the kids up and back for an overnight stay and said the kids did really well and were wise at the party

Sand and Water

Corben and his cousin made a "city" in his sand box

Swimming with Nonie

notice the water feature in the background, one on each side of the pool 

Nonie, Payton and Kyndal watched Corben & Mason while we went on our trip to Cabo San Lucas

Thanks Nonie and girls!!

Relaxing day in the pool

The kids jumped in mommy's float.

The weather has been warmer, but our pool water is still a little chilly

(We had the umbrella behind them covering part of the water and had to move it so we had some sun on us to warm us up!...I'm sure we won't have to do that for long.

Each time we get in the pool....we do lots of play time, but we also set a timer and do 15 minute swim lessons.  Each kid one on one.  Well, after our nanny watched the kids and took them in the pool to play, Corben excitedly told me that he didn't have to do swim lessons that day....haha! 

Veggies...

Our first zucchini squash 

Bell peppers 

Lots of cherry tomatoes 

Yummy artichokes, we have already enjoyed many artichokes this season! 

Cauliflower 

Broccoli 

Eggplant

Happy Father's Day

Kids relaxing with their Daddy on the hammock.

They had a great day with Dad at home, then we went to church and even had a little chocolate chip peanut butter cake to end the celebration.

Corben made Daddy a painted picture frame at preschool, so precious!

Cousin Birthday

We drove to Cousin Eli's birthday party and had a fun day with cousins.

I am hoping Kara posts some pictures so I can snag them to put on my blog...I only took two pictures.

Cousin Colby and Corben 

Mason Kate and Corben both playing the ballon games.

Watermelon

Corben enjoying watermelon at a BBQ.

The picture is blurry and his face looks like he did not enjoy it....but he really loved it and ate two whole pieces!

This little guy is ready for summer!

Best Shopping cart...

We finally found the best shopping cart ever....at Target.

Designed perfectly for my "almost twins".

It was quite large to maneuver, but worth the work to see them enjoy the ride!

Motorcycles

Corben found this motorcycle in an ad and has been asking for it for weeks.

We discussed: no crying at preschool, no potty accidents, talking and learning at school....

well he has done all those things and the teacher the last few weeks has commented on his big improvements and learning...hooray for Corben! 

Well....Corben insisted Mason needed a motorcycle too! 

Happy boy! 

He really loves taking Mason for rides, even though he has to go on the slower speed

She is real good and puts her feet up on top, so she doesn't push the foot pedal with brother. 

Going for a ride 

Mason happy she is finally in front of brother, normally he speeds off 

Yep....brother is leading the way! 

I must say...she really loves her motorcycle too!
