What are we doing today?  Oh nothing much, except making homemade lemonade!  I've never made it before and boy does it take p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e, right now we are waiting for the sugary syrup to  cool.  Savannah and Jackson were more that willing helpers, I'm glad that they're just as excited as me!  Here is the recipe I used http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/03/fresh-squeezed-lemonade/

Another Post About My Love For Summer







So I'm realizing now that the only times I post is in summer... weird!  I love summer though, I hate being cold and wet (which it has been still here in Oregon)...but today the sun is out and it feels awesome.  I'm going to tear myself away from the computer and the boys away from Dora and go for a walk.  Our family got a membership to the YMCA and we've been swimming like every other night.  We got to hang out with family this last weekend and went rafting in Southern Oregon, it was  awesome!  Savannah's learning to ride her bike without training wheels and she loves making homemade ice cream, that pretty much rocks!  I love not having to drop my kids off from school, I love that next Tuesday is $4 admission to Portland Zoo so were going!!!  Camping, Swimming, Fireworks, Strawberries, Cherries, Swimming, BBQ's, Swimsuits, Siting On Grass And Not Getting your Bum Wet, Lemonade, Hiking (and not getting wet), Swimming, Biking, Swimming, and yeah Sprinklers...what's not to love!!!
