Mormon Battalion Museum

We almost didn't make it here, but we did. Yeah!

We all learned so much that we didn't know about the battalion and their journey. What an amazing thing. It is really a great place and I HIGHLY recommend you going if you get the chance.

Pace didn't want to wear the uniform until he saw the bayonet.

The museum is right by old town in San Diego.

JP actually came home with a mask.

Just a few pictures from our fab time in Old Town San Diego. There is so much to do and see.

June in CA and we still needed sweaters a bit. So nice!

This is what you get when you let your 4 year old do your makeup. I look like I have some sort of rash, but she had a great time and loves me even more for letting her.

Sushi?

Is this gorgeous or what. As all who know me, know I do not do any kind of sea anything. JP got an idea the other night and band me from the kitchen. He made these beauties all by himself. It is cake cut in rounds, covered in white frosting and then rolled in coconut flakes (rice). He colored fondant and made roe to top them with along with berries and apricots. He then wrapped the cakes in green fruit roll up. Oh my gosh, so creative and so yummy. I love when his brain goes wild. The big ones are sushi mi.

Love that man.

Fun with the girls hair

I have recently remembered that I know how to braid. Girly is almost 8 (ahhh, what a thought) and I just now remembered? What's up with that? Anyway, I have been having a lot of fun with it. Doing so many different things with it. Here are just a couple I happened to take pict's of. I'll have to remember to shot some of the cooler ones soon.

Garden Update

From this .....

to this,

And tomato's too.

I actually made a sandwich using our own tomato and lettuce. I love being able to pick lettuce as I want it and not worrying about it going bad in the fridge.

Can't wait for the cuc's and carrots. We just prepared another larger garden box yesterday. Corn, pumkins, beans, watermelon you name it. A garden monster may have just been born.
