Salsa, Swim lessons, and Some fun
Salsa-ness!
Whoo hoo for salsa season! Hot salsa cooking on the stove is one of my favorite things. We had the whole family helping (except Marisa who was at work escorting a giant honeybee around…not kidding) and we made 7 jars of awesomeness!
Swimming
Alayna finished swim lessons and di so awesome! I even got a picture of her diving off the diving board! She can do all kinds of swimming strokes now and loves to be in the water. My favorite part was sitting and soaking up the sun reading good books. Now THAT is what summer should be!

Some fun
Nature walk for YW this week:
Making Jello Beans:
A project of painting a desk (all Tylers idea and when they were done they looked like Avatars!):
Making homemade tacos:
(and she passed drivers ed!!)
Writing a novel about evil clouds:
"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers."— Edgar W. Howe
Thank heavens school starts this week. The natives are restless. They start school on Wednesday and seminary Thursday. Crazy! They will be busy and I will be free as a bird. No more children literally wrestling over the “Hunger Games”, no more kids chasing each other around the house and knocking the mattress off my bed, no more “Im bored but I don’t want to do any chores”, no more midnight trips to walmart to buy “Mockingjay” because some people won’t share. Bring it on!

Jealous of your salsa, and also that you have a tortilla press. Is that new or were you just holding out on me. I have always wanted to try and make tortillas, how did they turn out? was it worth it?? I hear you about being ready for the kids to go back to school, but I am SO glad our school doesn't start till the end of August, although next year I may not feel the same.
Lol! Not new. Have had it for a while. The kids love homemade tortillas. Want the recipe? We make them a couple times a year.
That salsa looks amazing! Is all that from your garden?
Grace- almost all from our garden. ALl the tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Whoohoo!
