I made this last night and remembered how great it is, if you don't have this recipe, you should try it, it's delicious! (I always use unseasoned rice wine vinegar for the dressing) (Click on recipe to enlarge)

Peaches

The best thing about this time of the year to me has got to be fresh peaches, from our nearby orchard, or from the neighbor's tree that hangs over our fence. Baily loves to grab one and dig in. If you have a lot you HAVE to try this desert: peel and half a fresh peach. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle, drizzle with caramel, and top with toasted almonds, DELICIOUS!

Taylor Back To School

Taylor FINALLY started her preschool, she's been dying to go since Trevor started a couple weeks ago. She loves school, Trevor endures school. We made a cute bag for her to take, she picked out the decorations herself!

Pettiskirts

I loved the boutique pettiskirts that are around now, but I didn't love the $80 price tag, so at the beginning of the summer I set out to make my girls each one, and it pretty much took all summer, but I think they turned out really cute. If you want to be ambitious and try here are the directions I found most helpful from sewingmamas.com. Warning: may cause you to really HATE tulle!

Garden Harvest

It's really rough eating our garden food right now!:) I'm loving our tomatoes and basil. And the cucumbers are great, I love to make them like my Grandma; peel, slice, put in a bowl with vinegar, ice cubes, salt and pepper and let them sit for a little bit, it's like a crunchy cool yummy pickle, mmmmm!

Back To School

Can't really believe it's time already, but we are back to school for Trevor now. He just started first grade and I think he enjoys it, but it's "as long as 3 Kindergartens put together!" He just loves to play at home, so being gone all day is hard, but good for him! Taylor starts preschool in another week.

Bye Grandpa

My Grandpa passed away last week. His funeral was very nice, I'm glad I got to go. Here is his obituary. I'll miss you Grandpa. Thanks for all the motorcycle rides and for not killing Emily and I when we played for an hour running all over the oats and squashing them, boy was that itchy!
