It's the big one, honey!

Chris loves to fish! Lately Bass fishing seems to be his thing. Problem is...if the fish aren't a certain weight they must be thrown back. Well this time he caught the big one! Check him out...it weighed 5lbs and was 23 inches! Of course Quentin just had to hold him!

A Day in the Garden

Our sweet neighbor from Belize is an excellent gardener. She has a beautiful garden with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, blueberries and canteloupe. She even has a peach tree! Last week, Mrs. Yvonne came over and got the boys so they can go pick blueberries. So off we went with our bowls to pick blueberries. I even channelled my inner-Julia Childs and baked blueberry turnovers! So good.

Mrs. Yvonne shows the boys how how to pick berries. Ash stops for a taste.

The boys show off their harvest, then smell sweet basil and rosemary from the herb garden.

Can't wait til the peaches are ripe. Beautiful blueberries!
Not so bad for a first try. The turnovers were yummy!

Happy Birthday Q!

Turning 5 is a big deal! We were all set to do it up big with a party at the Zoo at Grassmere. Unfortunately, the rainy weather sent us scrambling for a new (indoor) venue last minute. So back to Bounce U we went! It was a great end of school year party for Quentin and his friends.

Speed racer cake with strawberry filling was delish!

Torin Baker and Myles Pollard catch up.

Mason Baker gives Ash a few pointers before his big slide!
Alex and Adam Thompson had a blast. Q introduces Torin to his pal Madison (the Ninja).
