3 year anniversary

Today marks our 3 year anniversary of receiving "The Call", telling us there was a little Noodle waiting for us in China .  Can't let this day go by without remembering all of the emotions we felt!  It brings back such memories :)

First time at the movies

Last week the Noodle and I went to see C*rs 2 at the movie theater.  It was the first time she's ever seen anything on the big screen.  She loved it!!  Amazing animation but the storyline was a bit over her head...I mean, a battle between fossil fuel and bio-fuel?  Come on!  Also, how lame is it, that I couldn't believe how loud it was?!  I'm officially getting old--lol!

Ka-Chow came along for the movie

Ahhh, so relaxing!

The temperature has been heating up, so where is the best place to go?  You got it, out on the water!  There is something so, so relaxing about being out on the Lake.  Today was no different.  The swimming wasn't bad either!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a glorious time!

Gone Pickin'

The Noodle and I had planned to go blueberry picking yesterday.  At the last minute, I decided that perhaps I'd better check the farm's website to make sure they were open, etc.  Good thing!  They had posted that they were closed until Saturday so the berries could ripen.  We would have driven all that way...for nothing! 

By waiting a day, J was able to come with us.  Hooray!  Unfortuantely, I think it was still a bit early in the season.  There were tons of berries, but not as many of them were ripe.  Soooo, we had to hunt and work more for our berries and still didn't end up with as many as I had hoped.  While the Noodle was more focused on picking this year (read about her antics, last year, here) it wasn't long before she tired.  The lure of frozen berry custard, as a reward at the end, helped spur her on.  Maybe we'll have to go back and try to get some more.  Blueberries are definitely one of my favorite fruits!

Fun Friday

Anytime we get to go and meet Daddy downtown for lunch is always fun...even if we're just brown baggin' it!  The Noodle had a good time running around, chasing birds and just plain acting like a goofy-ball!

And look at the longing in those eyes...just 1 bite, please Daddy?!

Happy Friday :)

CSA Week 4

Now that we're into July, the yield at the CSA has definitely improved.  This week we brought home:  2 heads of lettuce, an onion, a zucchini, a yellow squash, more pickling cucumbers, garlic, beets and a kohlrabi.  Since we didn't get to the zucchini from last week, the Noodle and I made zucchini bread today.  Yum--it will be nice and tasty tomorrow for breakfast (and a great way to sneak in some extra veggies!).
