belmondos reach

jarad discovered this hidden gem about 5-7 minutes from the house, a perfect little beach area by the river.  we all had a great time!

painted rocks!

doing one of our favorite past times with grandma...rock hunting!

deal of the day!!!

my fiestaware rainbow is almost complete, but i am having so much fun with my latest obsession that i continue to look for fiestaware for sale on marketplace.  i came across a listing today too good to pass up, and i drove to bonney lake to pick up 12 place settings 2 of each of the following colors; scarlet, sunflower, lemongrass, turquoise, lapis and slate.  47 pieces total for $120 with dinner plates, salad plates, saucers and 19 ounce bowls!  

the mullet

jarad's semi new quarantine doo...the mullet! he's been rocking it for a few weeks now, silly hair cut, but still incredibly handsome!

apples

surprisingly our apple tree is producing apples that don't taste like garbage this year!  over the last four years jarad has worked incredibly hard to keep the blackberries at bay in our front yard, many of which were surrounding the apple tree.  i think now that they are gone it is allowing our tree to thrive.  the apples are getting rather large and are sweet and tart.  not sure what variety they are, but the kids love to pick them and snack on them all day long.  maybe this week grandma will help us make something with them?  applesauce or tarts???

39!!!

another quarantine birthday in the books, but a good one none the less.  started off by jarad making me breakfast (my fav cinnamon wheel), selling off ALL my extra fiestaware, grandma arriving, hot tubing, BBQing for dinner and cake!  thanks to all my family and friends for the birthday wishes.  it was a great day and will be a good year!

plums!

my friend dropped off a large bag of nectarines and plums from a local farm stand, such a treat!
