farmers market

I've been wanting to go to the farmers market all summer, but it seemed like our schedule never allowed it.  Well I happened upon one last Saturday while running some errands with Kash.  He was excited because of all the dogs and free samples, I think I was excited for the same reason.  Oh and the fact that there was this big truck full of nothing but watermelon made me pretty happy as well! Next to the truck there were samples of the said watermelon and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a yellow one!  Now I've seen white pumpkins and yellow cucumbers, but never have I seen the insides of a watermelon be yellow!

The one time I don't have my camera with me...

It actually tasted just like regular watermelon, which means it was awesome. Kash even thought so and asked for seconds, maybe I got both of us seconds.  I didn't end up buying any because I didn't have any cash on me (minus my child of course) and wasn't really prepared for this impromptu stop.  While we left empty handed I'm glad I was able to finally go to a farmers market before summer fades into fall!

summer equals watermelon and road trips

I have an addiction.  I brought a bowl of watermelon to work to snack on through out the day, well I have no self control when it comes to watermelon and it was all gone by 10:00am...woops!

On a different note we are heading to Utah this week for one of my best friend's wedding.  It will be fun to see Sayward tie the knot, show Kash around our old stomping grounds (his first trip to the UT), see our Dewey's again and eat at all the local restaurants in Logan!  Blaine and I have so many places we want to eat at while we're there that instead of bringing home souvenirs we'll probably just bring home a few extra lbs!

PS-watch for Kash's 5 month post this week...big things happened last month!

memorial day weekend

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kick off party to summer!  It's also is the "magical" date that allows us to pull out our white capris from the bottom of the closet, opening day for pools (even though there are many days before the 31st that are pool worthy), and the date that watermelon starts to taste good enough to buy! 

We are starting our celebrations a little early and heading to sunny Arizona tomorrow to visit our best friends.  I hope you all have a fun weekend full of picnics, warm weather, family, croquet and watermelon!  Here's a link on how to cut a watermelon in honor of the start of summer.  Being the lover of all things watermelon I can't believe I never knew how to cut one this way!

baby watermelons, love them!

What about these adorable little jello watermelons! If I can muster up the energy I might just have to make these this week! People are so creative!

PS-we had an amazing weekend that I will share with you soon!

Happy Summer!

Last weekend someone left this little girl on our porch.We're still not sure who left her (obviously someone pretty awesome), although Blaine's attempt to run outside and find the culprit was very admirable.

So Happy Summer/Memorial Day/long weekend! My mom's in town this weekend so it's sure to be a "happy" one for us!
