i imagine he won't always be blond. I was blond as a small child, same as my dad & sister... but for now i'm loving the golden surfer boy look. I like how it's the lightest on the sides. adorable, if i do say so myself!

kid quotes
About 10 minutes after I tuck Mayden into bed she runs up to me and says very excitedly
"I CAN TOUCH MY EYE BALL!!"
one morning at the breakfast table Mayden goes into this very detailed description about a dream she had the night before. she does this very often and sometimes can describe 2-3 dreams she had in one night. sometimes it can take her 10-15 minutes to get through one dream. when she was finished she asked Cameron if he had any dreams last night. his response.: "Umm hmm, *long pause* ...oh! i dreamed about hummus!"

her green thumb
Mayden has been tending to these pots all summer long. She received them at some point during the spring each embedded with a seed. May diligently watered them multiple times a day (over-watering? meh) for weeks and weeks. nothing. She kept going back to them and Cam kept reminding her that "nothing is growing in your plants". Well, yesterday she decided to take matters into her own hands and wanted to replant some seeds. I didn't have any flower seeds in the house at the time (only spinach) so she went to her Grandma Miller with pleading eyes and *surprise* got her way! No seeds, but transplants... even better - instant gratification!
May likes to get her hands dirty just like her Mano. Do we have a FFA on our hands?
or a future midwife? that would be my guess. May spent hours touching her Aunt Neeka's belly waiting for her new cousin to move around. Her persistence was rewarded a few times!
in the garden...
chickens roam
we watch as our pumpkin vines creep into our neighbors yard (sorry!)
I see lots of green tomatoes and trying to be patient!
almost tired of eating zucchini every other day
one of my favorite zucchini recipes! found it years ago as an advertisement for "I can't believe it's not butter" in a magazine.... I of course, use butter when making it :o)

#30 of 101- things you gotta do
#30 PYO (Pick Your Own)
While we've certanly picked our own fruits & veggies before we've never picked our own blueberries! Turns out that's weird because our immediate area is the #1 producer of blueberries in the whole state and our state ranks 4th in the country for blueberries. It's the sandy soil we have here that makes the growing prime! We went with our good friends & neighbors the Bryans. So we get there (the place we found was about 2 miles from our house) and the tractor driver is our other neighbor (the one with the goats) small world!
