Tea Time!

We love the rain!! 

It's so sweet to get a hot cup of tea and watch the drops fall...

Add in some afternoon snacks and you've got yourself a date! :)

Fun with friends!

 We had a special visitor come recently...what a blessing she was! 

We heart Miss D!!

Jammies & Waffles!

Our kiddos LOVE to be in their "jammies"! 

This Saturday evening was no exception.  We were making a special dinner of waffles and they requested to get their jammies on early and cook dinner and eat in jammies. 

How could I resist these little smiles?!

Mmmm...with homemade strawberry syrup!!

Yummm!

Painting Party with the Sides Family!

Painting Party!  

We had an "Art Day" with some friends, fun!

Caleb and Lydia!

 Masterpieces!!

(Sub)Urban "Farming" at it's finest...

 Our friends have chickens, so we got to "help out" with them!

 Our friend Caleb takes care of the chickens for his family.  It was great to help him with his chores for the day!

 Joshua even got to help him with composting!  Woohoo!

 Joshua was a mighty fine chicken-chaser!!

Daddy's home = Music lessons :)

Whenever Daddy comes home, he hops right on that piano!!

He misses music while camping...

They fight to get in there with Daddy!!!  ❤❤❤

Crafty time :)

Our friends recently had a new baby, so we decided to make some welcome cards!

Masterpieces!

Ok, so we're crunchy.

Yes, we make our own granola. 

But it's so good!!

 It makes a huge mess. 

But who can complain when you've got such great help?!

 Cutest help ever, I'd say :)

 And we make our own chocolate cookies everything!!

 Mommy secret tip #101...Chocolate = Happeeeeee!!

Are they cute or what?! 

I told them they had to have backpacks to be official.

We're going to kindergarten!!

They are starting to get questions about school now, and they are so, so precious...they proudly answered recently:

Joshua: "We do school at home at it's so much fun!"

Natalie: "My mommy is my teacher!"
