May

For some reason I feel a need to document what we've been doing in the time that I haven't been posting...


We worked on our garden alot in May, tore out a bunch of bushes, pruned stuff, planted etc. These are our first few strawberries. We love having a garden but it's pretty intense in memphis... it's hard to compensate for all the heat, storms/winds, bugs and BIRDS!



This is my mothers day meal! Josh is a great cook- I love that he likes to cook because it's a fun thing for us to bond over! He made pork loin, rolls, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus with a brown sugar sauce. Yum! He also made this amazing white chocolate fruit tark that is pictured below! What a good husband!


Aside from the fact that Millie's hair is pretty ratty in this picture, I love her little blonde curls! She is 2 1/2 and I still haven't cut her hair because I'm afraid the curls will go away!


We took a family Vacation to the Smokies during Josh's week break. It was so amazing to be in the mountains again! That is something that I really miss! Look how amazing! so green! We went on a tram ride up to the top of one of the mtns.

We rode some alpine slides while up on the mountain.

We ate a bunch of good food including this homeade ice cream from a creamery at the apple barn cider mill (also had the best apple cider EVER)





I just like this picture because it's sooo green. It almost looks fake. I love the green out here in TN. ("Greenest state in the land of the free" -from the Davey Crocket song), but once and a while I feel like I'm being smothered by too much green!






I wasn't too creative in May, but this was one thing I did- felt hair clips. Super easy.
