Photos by Helen

I took the first two photos in this post, the rest are Helen's.

Things are really blooming in our yard right now.

Helen did this self portrait in Joe's motorcycle mirror.

Ready for a ride!

In the Backyard with Henry

These strawberries may be tiny, but they're sooooo good!

Tomatoes are growing, but not turning red yet.

Swinging on the new playset.

See you soon!

Playset Update

The playset is coming along. Here's Henry, Delilah and Helen doing a little dance by the slide.
Helen is trying out the swing.

Here's Henry inside the playhouse, climbing up the slide.

You can see the roof isn't done yet, but these are some happy kids!

Here they are looking out the window. There's another on the other side, so they can see the foothills.

I'll take some more pictures after the weekend. Joe plans to paint it the same colors as our house. What a way to spend Father's Day weekend!

Enjoy your day! More to come soon.

A New Recipe: Pizza Cookies!

What do you get when you take your ordinary Snickerdoodle recipe and add your favorite candies??? Pizza Cookies! Can you guess whose idea this was?

To make: take a bagel-sized amount of dough and push flat like a pizza. Next, add whatever you have around the house in the candy department. Henry used sprinkles, leftover Easter jellybeans (I know!) and a couple of Starbursts cut in 1/2.

Helen used sprinkles, two cut up Starbursts and some crushed up peppermints.

Bake for about 11 minutes and voilla, you've got pizza cookies.

The best part was cutting them up with the pizza cutter.

Fun was had by all. Sorry, we don't deliver.

More to come soon. Joe has been working on the playset, which has turned into the most awesome playhouse you've ever seen. I'll take some pics today.
