strawberry pickin

while my parents were in town last week we decided to go strawberry picking. i feel very lucky to be living in an area that we can take a short drive and do something like this. What's better than fresh, picked, SWEET strawberries in the summer... all 12 pounds?!

 someone couldn't wait till we got home

12 pounds later we were done.

a very special session

i wanted to make sure the relationship between my daughter and her grandparents were documented. my parents mean the WORLD to me and they lovelovelove katheryn to pieces, as does she in return. i didn't want time to go by that i didn't have their special bond documented.

10 on 10: june edition

new to 10 on 10? it's 10 photographers from across the US that capture 10 photographs in a day of their lives and post on the 10th of each month. We link to each other's posts to complete a circle. We have some FABULOUS talent in our circle so make sure to drop by and check them out.

Last month we were at Disneyland (check back here to see the May 10 on 10 post).

This month I decided to do another run-of-the-mill day. It happened to be Early Bird's last day of preschool.

after dropping Early Bird off I grabbed a quick breakfast down the street.

and then met this sweet guy as I was leaving.

time to pick up Early Bird but not before I pass by our favorite toy shop.

back home and after a nap we do a little painting outside.

making some dinner.

while we wait on dinner we get our basket of books out.

dinner is ready with baked zuchinni chips. (she wasn't a fan but mom was!)

time for the moon to rise and say good night. Taken from my desk (and about 3200 iso).

please head over to the very talented Lisa Turner and catch her June 10 on 10 edition.

this little man...

is fast! 

had a fun time this morning with him and big sister! 

i really should...

... be working on katheryn's teacher gifts for tomorrow.... seeing that it's already 10:00 pm but i couldn't resist posting this!

she gets sweeter, cuter, smarter and more grown up every day!

i'm 5

can't believe this little man is 5! 

I love it when I meet boys that still love their mommas, say, "yes ma'am!", "no, thank you," and kafrin!
