Emmet had preschool graduation. He was so cute singing his heart out. He loved school this year, especially because his cousin Sol was in his class. Emmet keeps asking when kindergarten starts and the poor guy has another year because of his Oct. birthday. I'm glad to still have him home. He and Emery have so much fun playing together.
My mom came into town for a week and watched my kids for the weekend. I met my college roommates for the weekend. We had a great time in Vegas. We spent most of the time laughing in our hotel room or sitting by the pool. We cracked up all day Saturday lounging by the pool people watching. It was a short trip, but fun to catch up with two of my closest friends. I'm not a huge fan of Vegas, for obvious reasons, but I was sad to leave Amy and Kate. Thank goodness for good girlfriends and for my mom willing to watch Emmet and Emery.
Emmet had a karate tournament while I was gone. He did awesome. He competes in two events, forms and sparring. His strength is in sparring. He loves to kick and punch. He has placed second two tournaments in a row for sparring. Emmet's first tournament I was so nervous for him because he expected to win a trophy. Thank goodness he did. After this last tournament my mom took Emmet and Emery to Costco. Emmet was still wearing his uniform and insisted on bringing in his trophy. Emmet carried his trophy proudly, smiling and singing to himself because he was so happy. My mom said it was adorable. Emery loved the tournament so much she fell asleep at it!!
I just had to throw in a picture of my tomato garden. I am so amazed I can even grow a garden here. I am even more amazed at how much fun it is. I wish my kids ate tomatoes! Any great recipes with tomatoes? I could use one!

I am jealous of your tomatoe garden!! Why not can your tomatoes? You can also can salsa, spaghetti sauce and all kinds of good stuff! I love to do it, and I have a big canner! Hope you had a good night!
what a fun time you guys have been having! i'm jealous of your girls' weekend without the kids. i could use one of those too. rylee has preschool another year too. it seems endless. poor avery wants to go so bad but i don't want to pay for 2 kids in preschool at once, plus then she'd have 3 years of preschool before kindergarten!
I have to say I so agree with you about the rain...since it doesn't happen much in the desert it is so refreshing and a nice change of pace when it does.
Looks & sounds like you had fun in Vegas! Are you coming to Hawkins on Monday?
How funny. I just took pictures of my garden for my blog on Friday too, but I certainly don't have zucchinis or beautiful tomatoes yet like you. Your garden is so pretty! Isn't it the best eating something you grew? Zucchini bread is my favorite. I use the exact recipe Shana already posted and it's yummy:-)
