Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

Lemonade Recipe

2 cups sugar

2 cups lemon juice

1 gallon of cold water

Having fun making Lemonade. 

They love to cook anything in the Kitchen.

It was so hot today we couldn't resist making fresh cold lemonade.

Time for a Picinic

I collect antique metal picinic tins.  I find them at

flea markets, yard sales and

antique stores.

I will show you my entire collection at another time.

How does your garden grow?

What a gorgeous color!

My hydrangea is blooming.  It is bluer than the photo.

Our favorite place to eat!

This is a very interesting flower.  It opens in the morning and then by the afternoon it closes up.  I think it gets a big puff ball on it almost like a dandelion.  Not sure what it is called.

Feeling Like Summer!

Having fun in the Sun!

Loving the Pool!

Little girl making a splash!

What a Cutie!

What a beautiful day!!!!!!

What a gorgeous day it was on Thursday.  No complaining here about the heat.  In the 90's, thats what the weatherman forecasted.  The kiddos got in their pool and had a blast! Their daddy suprised them and blew up their pool.  They were so excited they just wanted to get in with their clothes on.  Silly kids!!!

Purple Dress

Here is the Flowered Purple dress my sister made for Little Girl.  Isn't it adorable.  She absolutely loves this dress.  She wants to wear it all the time.  I wish I could sew that good.  I got a new pattern in the mail by Near Sea Naturals.  It is all on piece.  How easy is that.  This dress is reversable.  I want to make one with light blue linen on one side and Heather Ross' mermaid fabric Mendocino on the other side.

                                                                                  

Mermaid Party

Under the Sea! 

Little girl had her birthday party this weekend.  It was an Under the Sea Party.  She had so much fun with her little friends!  They had their nails painted and then did some hula dancing then off to drawing, coloring, and creating.  We listened to steel drum music and watched goldfish swim in their little bowls.  We played a couple of games and then gobbled down some swedish fish.  We ordered pizza and had chips, goldfish, cheese curls and strawberries.  After we ate we had yummy cupcakes.  Little girl was so excited! 

Flowers

Check out these beautiful flowers in my garden.  I have no idea the names of some of them.  I will need to get my flower book out and do some research.  We put up the gazebo.  We've been busy doing alot of yard work.  My yard looks like it has more weeds than grass.  I put some weed and feed down.  My whole yard will be dead after this treatment.  Any suggestions for a weed free lawn?  Went for a bike ride with the family at our local rail trail. I hope you had a great weekend!

Owls

This is such an adorable ceramic owl sitting on my moms kitchen shelf.

I totally love owls!

Check out this cute gummy owl.

I found this cute owl material at my local Joann Fabrics.

Here is my little girl modeling the outfit her aunty made her.

This outfit is the cutest!  but there's even a cuter outfit in the works.

Can't wait till little girl models this one!

The little model! She told everyone at her friends birthday party her Aunty made her outfit!

Having fun looking at their tattoos. Two peas in a pod!

It is such a beautiful day for a party.

Yellow and White

I have always loved yellow and white.  My wedding was yellow and white with white daisies.  Yellow is such a cheery color.  I love collecting all things yellow and white. 

 Hope this brightens your day!
