Sheri's Scribbles

Memorial Day: First and foremost, a day to remember those who have paid the ultimate price for the freedoms that we enjoy. Freedom is not free. My thoughts are with those today who are missing someone who paid the price for us to be free.

Secondly, it's a great day to spend with the family. The unofficial beginning of summer. And here, that means it's not to hot yet to enjoy some time outside. Jacob is really into caring for plants right now. His "Topsy Turvey" strawberry planter tore, so we decided to plant them in the front flower bed. I need to get stakes to transplant the oriental lilies he grew from bulbs for my birthday. They have several buds. I can't wait to see them bloom!

Joshua cooked burgers and hotdogs on the fire pit or dinner.

He is the resident pyro.

MMM...burger!
What BBQ is complete without roasted marshmallows?
I love this little brother/big brother picture.

Dad showing the proper way to assemble s'mores.

My dad. Aimee will appreciate this picture, lol.

My dad is a farmer at heart. He created this "river" to water the newly planted flowers and let the water seep in deep. It is very dry here, so to survive they need deep water. Hopefully, these flowers, and the strawberries will make it through the summer, and produce.

And this one just cracks me up! Nate was climbing the cherry tree, so I tried to catch a couple pictures of him. Nate lost a tooth today on the bottom, beside his middle two teeth. The smile in this picture lines up perfectly to make his teeth look like fangs.

Great day. Back to the routine tomorrow. I hope you all had a great day today and enjoyed some special time with your families.
