my garden is blossoming like crazy.  everyday i look out the window to see it growing like crazy.  it makes me so excited for sweet juicy tomatoes, fresh summer squash, and yummy green beans!!  i wish it didn't take half of summer for it to appear.

BBQ Delicious

In celebration of James' FIRST birthday, we are throwing a little par-tay for him.  Not only do we get to celebrate his birthday but we get to eat some ever-so-good food and spend time together!

For the celebration our menu is your basic good old bbq-ing.

Hot Dogs

Hamburgers

Green Salad

Sliced Watermelon

Chips

Good Brews 

It's about to be a fantastic party.  Anytime James is around it's bound to be a blast.  He gets to open gifts, eat dessert (no cake.... only on his actual birthday), and be the center of attention (as always).

HR:Fruit Loop

Yah-Who!!  It's time for fresh fruits and veggies to start blooming.  This is the best part of the year.  Strawberries, Cherries, Zucchini, Raspberries, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplant... you name it, it's going to be fresh and tasty.  One of my favorite places is Hood River.  They have the best fruits and veggies, perfectly ripe and so tasteful.  With over 50 places to stop and get produce... you are bound to find something.  The Hood River Fruit Loop is so impressive because of the variety each stand offers.  I have found that I often times eat my whole way home because it is so tasty and I can't stop snacking on the cherries or apples that I just bought!

If you are interested in FRESH PRODUCE you must head up to Hood River.  Not only do they have amazing produce but there is much more to do there..... wine tasting, great restaurants, fun shopping, and beautiful scenery.
