2 Sep -Josh's Foot ball game!









1 Sep - Gigi's play date

On the 1st of Sep we had walked the kids to school. On the walk home we spotted this white puppy roaming the street. Twice she had almost got hit by a car so we went over befriended the puppy scooped her up and tried to return her to her home. No one was there so we (the kids and I decided to bring her over tour house for a while until her family came home to take care of the little pup)

Her she is in the backyard with Gigi



They played together and such fun running around!

It was so great to see Gig playing like a puppy again!


The kids really got a kick out of having a "puppy" at our house

Here is Own chasing after the puppy, calling it saying "puupppeyyy"
He would get close enough to touch her, squeal and run off! Too cute!

After a while we took the puppy home.
She was yipping too much for me and making a mess getting dirty
 It was fun to have a puppy come play but I'm glad we don't have a puppy!

26 Aug - PInkalicious pancakes

26 Aug- We first tried out our Pink pancakes from Deceptively Delicious and we love them!
Especially the girls they say they are "Pinkalicious"! They are now a favorite in our home!

They have beets in them that's how the get the pink color and shredded apples.
 That's the green looking thing in them



Yum!!!

22 Aug FHE picking the Nectering Tree

On 22 Aug We had a FHE  night of Picking our Nectarine tree.
Our little tree was not cleaned out early enough so it produce these really small nectarines and LOTS of them!!
So many they filled our plastic pool



what are we going to do with all of these little Nectarines??

you can see the are the size of ping pong balls or large golf balls!


Surprisingly enough they didn't not taste bad. There was quite a few of them that were tasty and sweet. So we decide to make Jam out of them and freeze the rest! The Jam (Evan's first time making jam) came out great. He added some other fruit to it and it came our tasting kinda tropical like!

We look forward to next year to see if we can get out tree to produce bigger fruit!
