Plants and Food (So basically just plants :)



I love this plant.






My mom bought it for us when we moved into this house. It is healthy and very dense right now. (Thanks to Zac. If it were left up to me, it would not look this good! {Actually it likely would not look at all - it'd be in the leaf pile...rotting} :)






In the spring, I had the idea to try a new recipe. This does not happen often. But this recipe looked so colorful and pretty in the picture I saw that I had to try it.






And I love noodles. This recipe was a new way to utilize noodles.
Colorful, noodles - win win! :)






Beautiful:









Zac helped the meal out and made some delicious rangoons.






While we were making this new meal, the kids were hard at work in the beautiful western evening light playing the Wii.






And the finished product:








And one of my favorite breakfasts EVER. Dirty Chai and a Vanilla Wheat Free Muffin from The Merc. I actually drank 1/2 the tea before taking the picture, however I love the circles and the sunny shape of the muffin in the open muffin paper. Silly, I know, but makes me happy. :)









Look at those eyes.









This must have been a while ago (I know-it was really a long while ago, maybe March) anyway, I know that because look at Orion's hair! It seems so short!






We made Seven Layer Salad for a Merc meeting that Zac had here. Those who attended all brought food and it was all delicious!






I think this salad is very pretty. And tasty, too!






Matchy matchy sky and glass.






The next few pictures were so much fun!






The kids took these of each other.





















Man, I love these kids!






Flowers provided to our household by Zac, wonderful husband and father.






Flowers grown by Homer, magic flower grower. I doubt Homer knows how much I rave about his genius with flowers or realizes how often light up my life. Maybe next time I see him, I should tell him. :)
