Peach Picking!

We decided to head out to the peach orchard this morning to go peach picking with the kids. This was a hit--Trey picked so many peaches and kept counting them all and putting them in his bag--Boston literally ate his way through the orchard eating about 5 while we were still picking, and Lola just loved being outside and also got to experience her 1st peach:) Mark also got quite into this whole thing as well lol. We picked a grand total of 14 pounds!! Of course there was a festival going on across from the orchard so we went there to grab some lunch and let the kids ride the ponies.

1st up was some homemade peach cobbler--Paula Dean Style--YUMMY!!!!!

Next up is some jam, and then I think we will also try grilling them with dinner this week!!!

Trey's field trip to Home Depot

 Trey's preschool class went on a field trip to Home Depot this semester, and I was lucky enough that I got to go on it with him so thank you so much Shanel for watching the other 2!! They got a tour of the whole store, and then attended a workshop class, and after they completed their projects had an "Honorary Associate" ceremony lol. It was cute and Trey loved the whole thing!

These were the finished product of what they built!

Seeing where the shipments come in

Don't ask me why but they let the kids open all the sample doors and run in and out of them lol

Getting a lesson on how to cut wood

About to start building--see all those real hammers?!?!?

Our Little Model...

 This was a little fun unexpected adventure that started over a month ago... We randomly saw somebody who told us to send Lola's picture into the production company that was going to be producing Carters new baby line--so I did. 3 weeks probably went by and we never heard anything so I kind of forgot about it-then I got an email saying she had made it past the 1st group that were let go-then I got another email saying she made the cut again and if I could bring her in to try clothes on to see how they fit her--so I did along with 200 other people that day. They were going to pick 5 in her sizing so again I didn't hold my breath lol, but last Friday I got a phone call asking if she was available Monday and Tuesday of this week because they wanted her. The next thing I knew contracts were sent over and the paperwork started lol. Luckily we have awesome parents and they helped out with the boys so I could commit to doing this with Lola. It was a desert themed shoot so it took a good 45 mins to get to and we had to be there at 5:15 in the MORNING both days--needless to say this MOMMY is exhausted!!! Now we wait to see if any of her pictures make it in an ad or online, and I figure out what to do with the agencies that are calling that now that all know she's not signed with anyone lol.

 Watching the sunrise

 Lola eating her breakfast on a break (in her own clothes so we didn't ruin theirs lol)

 This was the back drop on DAY 1

 This is where Lola shot on DAY 1 under that umbrella, but I couldn't get near it with a camera

 Under this tent was where we went to get her outfits and the wardrobe people would decide if it was a yea or a nay

 Luck y for her she never woke up when I transferred her to the car in the morning so slept the whole way there

 This was on Day 2 waiting in the RV for hair and make up lol

 Resting with Mommy on a break

 Where she shot on DAY 2--yes that guy in orange was down there specifically to watch for scorpions and rattle snakes--quite comforting lol NOT!

Spring Soccer

This was Boston's 1st season of being old enough to play sports so naturally we put them on the same team while we could. This made it super easy for family to come watch, but there was definitely some sibling rivalry going on lol. Layla also played on their team which was fun-especially for me:) This season their team was called the KICKS and both Grandpas coached this season!!!

The cutest little soccer fan
