Mothers Day

Happy mother's day to all! We had such nice day- that Brandon actually PLANNED... can you believe it?!?! He surprised me with breakfast from Mimi's and a nice walk out at Floyd Lamb state park. Siena loved the horses and chasing the ducks. Then we did a little shopping and relaxing and ended the day at the St. Genaro Italian festival. They had great food, music and a ton of little shops set up. I got a funnel cake, of course, which made it the best mother's day ever!!!

Siena's summer dress

I made Siena her first summer dress! The pattern was designed by a friend in my knitting group and I can't wait to trying it on her. I still have to add the ribbon and buttons :)

After a few weeks...

The garden is actually growing!!!! Shocking I know:) We planted carrots, radishes, cucumbers, green beans, and a bunch of herbs. We were also going to plant peas but accidentally bought the frost resistant variety that doesn't produce when temps get above 70 degrees- ummm that's not going to work out here....except maybe in January.
Here is the fancy smancy deck that Brandon built so the bbq is up and out of the way. Didn't know I was married to a handy man did ya??? And Siena with a big old face full of watermelon. It's all the rave around here and she can't get enough. In fact, hanging out in the backyard eating it while I water the garden, has become our new daily routine:)
