Blackberry Goodness

Last week, we headed over to our nice neighbor, Larry's yard to pick some very scrumptious blackberries. I tell you, it was the nicest, most enjoyable blackberry picking we've ever experienced!! He has it all trimmed so the berries just cascade over the top of his fence. We picked for less than an hour and went away with three huge bowlfuls. I still think Saiah may have eaten more berries than she picked! Craig enjoyed the time sitting and playing on a blanket. Homemade cobblers and syrup for waffles was made with our abundance of the sweet berry. I have always loved how easy it is to find and pick blackberries here in Oregon.

I do believe we are headed back over soon, as I'm ready to try my hand at Blackberry Jam. Oh yum!

Craig, taking in the fun

Love this website

Since I have soooo many friends that are mommies to babies and toddlers, I think this a worthwile post. Mamabargains is an amazing site that has great deals on the funnest things. Once the deal is gone, they post another one!! I admit, I find myself checking their site a few times a day. :)

Craig 6 Months

Father's Day Gift

Saiah and Craig's Father's Day present to Daddy. Jason thought it was pretty special.

An adoring sister

As I sit here, I can hear Saiah singing and talking to her brother. One of her lines is "I wish I could marry you, oh I wish I could marry you!". I find this so sweet. Awhile back she had asked if she could marry Craig. We of course talked about the proper rules of marriage. Nonetheless, it speaks volumes as to how much Saiah loves and adores her brother.

Sunshine and Smiles

Snort snort giggle

I finally have been able to get Craig to giggle. Saiah and Jason have both been able to, and I finally found my own way of getting the little man to laugh. Yep..gotta love it!! Sorry it's sideways..but still just as cute!
