Beaverton Farmer's Market - Opening Day

Last week was the opening day of the Beaverton Farmer's Market.  We were so excited.  We love visiting the market and try to go as many Saturdays as possible during the summer.

The weather cooperated and we got the girl's to wake up early on Saturday morning and we headed out.
Tessa and I enjoyed crepes for breakfast while Cali and Jim split an omelet.

There was lots of pretty produce and we even found some yummy gluten free cupcakes for Cali and some yogurt made out of goat's milk which she can have!






There were plenty of pretty flowers too.

The girl's bought me some plants to put in my pots for Mother's Day - now if it would just warm up enough to get them in the pots!

It was a fun morning!

DECA - Orlando

I have a little blog catch up to do!  Jim and the girl's are at a Portland Timbers game tonight (his early Father's Day present) so I'm home alone and trying to get a few things done.

At the end of April Tessa went to Orlando with DECA.  She had qualified to attend the National DECA convention and give her fashion promotion plan.

She was ready to go from the very beginning!

  From the looks of her photos we are not sure she really attended any DECA events - I guess there were a few.

I think the majority of their time was spent enjoying all the fun theme parks.  They went to Disney World.

 They had fun visiting all the different countries in Epcot Center.

And she managed to get a really nice sun burn the first day at Typhoon Lagoon

And then they got to go to the new Harry Potter world too!  She had her first butter beer which she said tasted just like cream soda.

One of her favorite things was the fireworks display in the evening - amazing!  And the Electric Light Parade

She had a great time but she missed us and was ready to come home.  We missed her too!!

Declan

Jim has spent the last 7 years living with just girls.  He misses his boys.  Thank goodness we have had Declan living next door to us during that time.

Declan is preparing for his First Communion this weekend.  Since it is suppose to rain on Sunday his smart mother decided she better take some photos of him yesterday when the sun was actually shining here in Portland.

Declan got all dressed up but his dad wasn't home to help him tie his tie so Jim to the rescue!

Declan looked so handsome I just couldn't resist getting my camera out and taking a few shots of this sweet moment.
