Cherry Picking!!

While my dad and sister were here, one of my friends invited us to go pick some cherries! We had such a good time and the cherries were yummy! I am so glad my friend told me about this place!
Me and my dad!
(I'm pretty sure my dad really enjoyed doing this, cherries are one of his favorites!)
(By the way my dad would enjoy doing anything with his grandkids and kids, the cherries were just an added bonus for him!)

The kids showing off their cherries!

Eating their cherries! Yummy!


Cal found a cherry tree to climb!

Grandpa helping Cade pick some cherries!
The kids thought this was a great activity because they got to eat all the cherries they wanted while picking some to put in their bag for later!

The kids stood on top of Andrea's car so they could reach the cherries!

Cal said to me today pointing at Cade "Look mommy, Cader's teeth look like Mater's teeth"

Day at the Lake

We love living so close to the lake! We haven't taken the boat out yet this summer but we have made many trips to the lake to play in the sand and water. When my dad and sister and her girls were here, we decided to have a little picnic at the lake and relax. Unfortunately, it didn't last as long as what we were hoping, it got a little too windy!

Cal's BirthdayParty!

Cal was so excited it was finally HIS Birthday! He wanted a Lightning McQueen birthday cake, we had a lot of fun! Grandpa, some of his cousins and Aunt Andrea were able to join us for his party!
We had A "cars theme " party. I made a road that went through our house out of butcher paper and some other fun decor. My sister Andrea and I were up til 12:30 the night before making all the signs! Thanks Anj! Here is everyone standing by the "Welcome to Radiator Springs sign" at the beginning of the road.
One of the first stops was "Ramon's House of Body Art" where we painted lighting bolts on every ones faces! Cal thought this was pretty cool!


The gang with their faces painted!
While the kids were outside playing with the lighting McQueen bubbles, Lighting McQueen pulled up and gave everybody a ride! ( I thought this turned out cute, I am not much of an artist or very creative but I thought I did a pretty good job! Plus the kids loved it!)
Opening presents!

Thanks everybody for the great gifts! Cal got pretty spoiled by everyone this year and loved it!!

Cal with his table, you can see his Lighting McQueen cake on the table. (I think I used almost all the red food color, but could not get it red, any tips?)
