The longest post ever!

Kali went back to school. We are back on our normal schedule and this guy is back to getting up early and watching Jake & the Neverland Pirates.

My brother, Cody turned 30 so we had another al fresco dinner party I can never get a good picture of Cody so here is one of him looking semi-normal but with his eyes closed. For some reason my brother think it's funny to ruin pictures with strange faces.
It was a nice night and the yard looks awesome right now. Kali had dance earlier that day so she was wearing her dance outfit all night. This girl loves to be fancy!


Here she is on her first day back to school....tear drop.

Fran has Monday's off so I took a substitute teaching job and the boys stayed home an played pirates!
Holy Moly Fran looks muscular---he is going to love this pic :)
Wednesday I volunteered in Kali's class, here she is with our neighbor
ohhh my sweet Kali only has 2 more months of Kindergarten...time is going too fast!
Here is a little cowgirl she made
We were lucky enough to get rain last night so our yard and plants look beautiful!

These are the flowers out front.
Mint, roses, pansies and stock flowers
My Easter Lily, basil & ivy

The garden

Pansies, rosemary & Petunias

Sugar snap peas creeping up the chicken wire and a tomato plant that has now grown at all.
Green beans
my cilantro is going to seed...bummer
all the roses are so healthy right now, I like mini-roses the best because they are perfect in small vases around the house
My newly painted chair and our ice plant in the back
Topsy turvy tomato
our little peach tree that is already sprouting fruit!
the lettuce & green onions are doing well but the spinach fried in the hot days we've had
Rose
the lemon tree is so full right now
A blue iris that popped up from under the thyme
our three new trees that Francis is always watering.....he is becoming quite the gardener/yard guy
We are going to have more rain this weekend and I am so glad for our garden and new trees!

But not so good for our plans to paint the patio this weekend....oh well I LOVE rain!
