Peach Mania!

We drive about an hour away to a great orchard and produce farm.... today was the start of the Peach Mania Festival. It was way hot and the sun was way intense.... but it was super fun.

Today is my 5 Year Wedding Anniversary!!!!

My FIL sent us a beautiful plant with fresh flowers placed into it.



Ira added a flower to her kitchen.....

and then a centerpiece for her cafe....

The doctor is in....

Ira was convinced that liv and her strawberry shortcake doll had lots of virus'... and she exclaimed- "there is NO WAY these kids can go to the park with fevers THIS HIGH!!!!!!"

stir crazy???

Maybe, just a little.

We started out the day today drawing.....






Then made silly faces with goggles on.... since we have no water.... liv wouldnt stay still for a pic ;)

operation storage revamp.....

was officially a go this weekend.

Its a long journey... jareds mother passed away when he was military and he had to simply box up a lot of stuff to deal with when he could be in town again. Well, we have officially been "in town" for 3 years, but with him finishing up his degree, it was never really the right time. Now that babe #3 is coming, we need more room! So it begins!

the kids had fun, it was so hot.... jared did most of the work while the girls and I sat on a picnic blanket in the shade of the carport and played. Soon enough, we will be able to use the storage rooms for our own storage.



lost and found.....
liv desperately wishing her feet reached the petals......

poor desert child playing in rocks instead of grass ;)

christmas in july? thats what she was thinking......

so very excited

My husband came home from work holding this beauty the other day. The pictures do not do it justice, because it was dark out and i didnt want to wait and get pretty pics in the morning.

Its from a local waldorf family that he works for... so cool. Ira has really really been wanting to get a highchair for her babies, and I really wanted one that matched her kitchen we got a while back, but just never seemed to have the extra money for a nice one, and I didnt want to spend the money on a cheap plastic one that wouldnt hold up to this tribe of children my husband and I are making ;)

Thank you waldorf faeries for keeping us in your acts- even though we shopped toys r us this bday instead of nova naturals! Ira is currently waxing on a star wars obsession, that I am hoping this new addition will help tame ;)

paint

Ira received a belated birthday present in the mail and it was a huge hit. A nightlight cover to paint and a keepsake wooden box to decorate. We pulled out an old craft project never finished to have liv paint along side her sister... since these days she only wants to do what ira is doing.

cave dwellers.....

at least that is what I like to refer to us as ;)

not only is it hot outside... but the sun is intense... and we are pale pale people who burn incredibly easy. So we tend to hibernate inside during the most intense parts of the day.



we have taken to baking daily. We are currently trying to perfect our blueberry muffin recipe. At this point, I am simply the swedish chef adding this and that.. but they are good.

Ira makes all sorts of forts and houses for her hundreds of animals and friends.


Lots of lego building....

good times.
