Strawberry Picking

Our sweet neighbor took the kids and I strawberry picking today.

The kids were so excited.  They had never gone before.

It was a beautiful view up in the Blue Ridge Mountains.



Our neighbor, Jacob.

The tractor ride took us up and around to see the most beautiful views.

Ry guy was having a great time.

We got to pick and eat as many strawberries that we could.

Is it possible to eat too many strawberries?  Because we tried to!

Rylan has not been a huge fan of strawberries . . . until today.
He ate so many!

Heather and her son Jacob.


Payton kept singing the Strawberry Shortcake theme song.

Can you see all the strawberry juice on her face?

And on his?


Silly monkeys.

Even Rylan had strawberries all over his face!

We also sampled some fried pies.

Blueberry Cream

Sweet Potato

Cherry

My favorite?  Surprisingly the sweet potato!

We were pooped when we got home.
Payton fell asleep and the boys and I piled on our bed and watched some tv.

I love my little boys!

Weekend Wrap Up

We went to a pool party this weekend.

The kids had a blast.

There's my handsome man.

My handsome baby boy!

And my handsome little man!

Miss Kelly was watching Rylan in the nursery at church and sent me this picture.
He was just laying back - chillin'!

Payton saved up her tickets that she earned at church (for bringing her Bible, learning Bible verses, remembering her lesson, etc) to get the big prize that she wanted - a Cinderella Barbie doll!

Dylan was sweet and used some of his tickets to buy Payton a ring.
He is so sweet!

We have a count-down going for when we leave for California!

I told Dylan that I was going to post this picture . . .
and I keep my promises!

We played Aggravation!

And I made homemade Strawberry Shortcake.  Sooo good!

Here is Daddy Jr.

Chris had been raving about this burger at the Country Club, so he took me to try it.  It was REALLY good!  Oh and the fruit was for Rylan.
