Homemade Salsa

I made salsa using some tomatoes and jalapenos from out garden.  It was pretty good, but I think that it could've used a little less onion.   Here is the recipe I used:

8 tomatoes
2 onions (I think I'll use one next time)
Bunch of cilantro
2 to 4 Jalapenos
garlic
1/2 tsp salt
Juice from 2 limes

I don't like my salsa chunky, so I just cut everything up and stuck in my blender.

Birthday Countdown

Caden kept asking how many days until his birthday, so we made this countdown chain.  It has worked like a charm!

Last Day of School

He looks like a big boy now!

Last Day of preschool

First day of preschool

Preschool Graduation

Caden is all done with preschool, and he will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  It makes me so sad to think of him going to school all day!  I am so thankful for wonderful friends that Caden and I both made with his classmates and their moms!

Caden with his teachers Ms Montes and Ms Barkett

They did a cute presentation and sang some songs for us.  Caden loved the peanut butter and jelly song.

These is Caden and his best buds from school.  Porter, Nitish, and Tegan.

The kids autographed papers for each other.

Sleepover!

We had a sleepover with 4 of Caden's cousins.  Caden loves to have his cousins over!  Addysen is only 2 months old and she slept from 9pm to 6:30am!

They all wanted to hold the baby, so I had to take a picture with each of taking a turn.

Nobody wanted to wear shirts to bed.

Raspberry Jam

Caden and I made some homemade raspberry jam.  Yum!

Caden Ate a Hamburger!

This may not seem like a big deal, but it was actually a momentous occasion for us.  Caden is a very picky eater, and he would not eat any kind of read meat.  He has been getting much more adventurous lately and trying lots of new things.

Trucks!

Caden loves to watch the different trucks that come in our neighborhood.  He knows that the Recycling truck comes on Mondays and the garbage truck comes on Fridays.  We also get the street sweeper every once in a while and the bulk pick up comes once a month.  The bulk pick up is fun because they use a tractor to pick everything up and put it into the big garbage truck.

Out For a Drive

Caden got this car for Christmas a year and a half ago, but he was always too scared to drive it.  Eventually the battery stopped working, so we just stopped trying to get him to drive it.  Well I decided to get a new battery, and I was thinking that I would probably just sell it since it takes up so much room in the garage. After I put the new battery in he decided that he wanted to drive it, and he loved it!

Swimming!

Our friends the Davis' invited us over to bbq and swim.  We love to swim!  Caden is turning into quite the fish this year.  He is swimming awesome, and you can't get him out of the water!
