We have babies!

A few weeks ago I told you about the hummingbird nest. Well here they are and they are so cute and tiny! Here you can see one head and the others beak.

What more can I say. They are so cute!

First fruits of the garden!

Ok so it is a vegetable, not a fruit. You get the idea. Hopefully there is more where this came from! Cecilia was so excited that we cooked it up for dinner, she ate it, and asked for zucchini the next morning for breakfast. I can't wait for the tomatoes and cucumbers to grow! If only you could grow meat and pasta in your garden. Then no more picky eater would we have.

Soccer game

Last week we took Cecilia to her first soccer game. She took a nap that day which is a rarity these days so we decided to let her stay up a little to catch part of the Real Salt Lake vs Dallas game. We were excited to let her experience something new. I forgot how loud the games are! But she warmed up after awhile and had fun. So much so that she threw a full on temper tantrum getting into the car and wouldn't go to bed. Maybe next year she will be old enough to handle it better. Anyway we bought her a churro which was terrible. She took one bite, decided the best part was on the outside, and then just licked it. I thought it was quite ingenious of her.

Strawberries!

Over the 4th of July we went to visit some friends in Seattle. We had a great time. One of the highlights was they took us to a U-pick berry farm. It was the perfect temp for berry picking. Their daughter entertained Cecilia most of the time so Shaun and I were able to pick lots of berries. Here is Cecilia with one of the two boxes we picked. As you can see she also had fun sampling the berries (notice some on her forehead).

Success! We ate lots of these berries during the trip and managed to transport the other box home. You know how Shaun and I are with our berries, we'll find a way.

After strawberry picking we headed to lunch. On the way we found a place that sold "indecent" ice cream cones and had to stop. Nothing like dessert before lunch on the 4th of July. This is the "kiddie" cone that the three of us shared.

Lighthouse and families

During our trip to Seattle we went to the beach to watch the sunset. It was a beautiful day and this was a great way to end it. We walked down to the lighthouse to watch the sun set over the water. Not something we get to do very often. Here we are with the Brubaker family, who were gracious enough to drop their weekend plans and entertain us.

Cecilia adores their daughter Sophie and had so much fun following her around. Here they are being silly as only little girls can be.
