Butterfly

I just had to share this perfect picture of a yellow swallowtail butterfly (my favorite) on some sweet william flowers in my garden. And the other picture is Meadow Rue. It grew almost 8 feet tall, but it finally bloomed!

Girl's Night Out

Okay, I failed in taking pictures here, but me and the 5 other girls from our church group got together for dinner and a DVD. We watched "Peace in the Midst of Tragedy" from Bonnie Floyd ministries. She is an amazing speaker, and I highly recommend her. I made this peanut butter and chocolate cake for dessert. We all had a great time. Sorry I didn't get picture of us!

Summer Fun

We have been cooking on our new grill. This is delicious grilled pineapple with vanilla ice cream!

The Garden

My garden has continued to grow, and new plants are blooming. There are so many, it is hard to choose which ones to share. Here are some pansies, my favorite. A pink clematis that grows up onto the porch, pink roses, an old chair next to the woods with red impatients in it, and a glimpse of the purple and blue garden.

Memorial Day Party

We had friends and family over for a party on memorial day. It was so much fun getting everyone together, and we had lots of great food. J got to play his new corn hole game, and we made a fire that night and cooked mountain pies and marshmallows.

Happy 5 year Anniversary!!

We celebrated 5 years on May 27th. It went by so fast! I made J a corn hole game with the help of my coworkers, and J got me a pink dogwood tree for the front yard. We went out to dinner and had a great night together.

Birthday Party 2

There were so messy eating their cupcakes it felt more like a 1 year old party than a 7 and 5 year old party!
