There goes July!

July is almost over. That means Jade is turning ONE soon!!! OMG they do grow up fast after the first few months!!! She's getting just so darn cute by day!!Here are some random things we did so far in July.

Lots of watermelons, including the yellow kind :-)

If you know John, you know he's a juice-holic. If he opens the fridge and sees no juice, he yells no food! So one morning I woke up to the above note. And I rushed to Sam's Club and stocked up for him. And that kept him happy and secure for about a week. 

We enjoy our precious morning times when both mommy and daddy are home.We would go out to the backyard, water the plant, sit under the canopy, and just enjoy the fresh morning air. Our tomatoes and cucumbers are growing big!! In fact, I ate the 1st cherry tomato today. It was yummy!!

My 1st tomato this year. Yumm!!!

We made these Vietnamese spring rolls for our Chinese food night with some friends. They are so delicious. The key is the fresh lime and basil leaves and some good sauce. 

Jade got herself stuck :-) Is it bad I took a picture before I rescued her? 

Isn't this the sweetest thing ever!! :-) 

Cute Jade on the playground!

My Mexican students recommended this little Mexican restaurant called Laura's. The food was really good! It's next to Sam Hawk, our favorite Korean restaurant. We had tacos, gordita, and quesadilla. They were all so good. 

Don't be too jealous :-)

This is how daddy gets a kiss. 

Jade started walking!!

Jade and Lyla. Two cutie pies. 

It was raining. Daddy was crazy. We had fun!

Daddy got his dream downhill bike and is riding it as often as he has time. He discovered a trail down Squaw Peak. SO we took him up there for a ride. 

Jade got her first car! Crystal really spoils her :-) She can't reach the gas yet. But she has so much fun just sitting in it playing with everything. 

Daddy gave jade her first bite of  ice-cream! Fail!! But if she has to have it, Sammy's is THE place!!

She's very mobile. She can climb up and down the couch like a pro now.
