strawberry picking...finally!

for the past 10 years or so i've been telling val that i've wanted to go pick strawberries. the weekend after mother's we finally went. we went out to breakfast and then to the fields. it was a scorching hot day so we picked fast; well at least i did. :)

the kids did this all on their own (mommy didn't have to tell them to pose!!) they thought they were hilarious!

kaleigh held the box for val while he picked the berries. i guess she didn't want to get too sweaty. hee!hee!

connor took a turn to hold the box. at first he would pick anything off the bushes until we told him what we were looking for--big red berries!

so yummy!!

swim team...all summer long

sounds better if you sing it in your best kid rock voice. ha! well ever since the middle of april kaleigh has been hittin' the swim pool with the aquaknights again. she's doing a lot better this year. her strokes look good and her times are improving. can't wait 'til next year and maybe her brother will join her!

back from boston!

so once again, i'm late in posting. val and i had a great time in boston! the weather was perfect for us--sunny and not too cold. but by sunday, our last day there, it was windy and freezing!!! a good time to come home. we took in all the sites of the city, did tours, walked everywhere, took the subway train (we were experts by day 2), took lots of pictures, went to a redsox game (awesome even though they didn't win), and just enjoyed ourselves. this was our first real trip away without the kids. so, it's been 5 days since we've come home and we're ready for our next adventure!!

dreaming of the next scrap weekend

hello? anyone there?

yes, it's been awhile...a whole month!? what the heck! since my last post everyone has had the flu and a cold or cough. i have had plenty of stress which i am working at getting rid of! i'm trying to relax more, take time for me, stretch, and get more sleep. i will have to keep working on all of that. i want results now! :) spring break is coming; that will be a perfect time to de-stress. oh yah!
