Happy Birthday, Martha!

Martha turned 3 years old yesterday! I can't believe it, time is flying by so quickly! I am so glad that I have her, she is such a big girl. Dora is her favorite thing, so for her birthday it was all about Dora! I made her cake and think it turned out really cute, even if it took me all morning to decorate it. Today, she went for her 3 year check up and everything was great!

First Trip to the Pool

We had our first trip to the pool yesterday. Everyone had a great time, thanks to the Matthews' family. We met them there and had a lot of extra hands with the little ones. I wasn't sure how Clara would like the water, but she did just fine. Hopefully we will have many more fun times here or at the lake.

Some things that make me SMILE

*Sitting in the car listening to Martha sing her heart out to a song she doesn't know ANY of the words to!
*Listening to Grace play with her dolls and telling them to be quiet and listen!
*Clara walking
*Grace and Martha helping each other floss and brush their teeth (cute conversations)
*Pat holding Clara while they both sleep
*Quiet house when everyone is alseep!

Yummy Strawberries

Yesterday, the girls and I went to Milky Way Farms in Weyers Cave to pick strawberries! We had a blast and the girls were great - even Clara. We picked just over 8 pounds of strawberries. We came home and made 9 half pints of jam and froze the rest so we can have them to enjoy the rest of the summer. They are the best strawberries I have ever eaten. This is the last week they are open for picking, so if you want some yummy berries, I would go if you can. Oh, you have to get there early, they open at 7:30am. The first day we got there too late and they were already picked out for the day, luckily we got there in time the next day. We would really like to get some blueberries and raspberries if anyone knows where we might find a place to pick them please let me know!
