Our weekend was confronted by some problems I’m dealing with but now, it’s all better. Not resolved but at least better…hubby and I are still trying to find a solution but on a lighter note, we had a great time yesterday for Father’s Day! Spent a bit of time at the mall, dinner with the whole family at Mexican Restaurant and when we got back home, we picked some june berries from our tree in the front yard! They’re good to make as a pie, mix it to your oatmeal or cereal and even in pancakes or just to eat it right away,hehehe!

My bes gave me an early present today! That’s a coach teardrop key ring {click photo to enlarge} and actually, I picked this out when we were together at the mall coz that’s how she wanted it to be and I have no problem with that. In fact, it’s a pretty common thing to do nowadays. It’s my first bday present this year and I am really too old to celebrate my bday and doesn’t want anyone to spend anything for me but any blessing is welcome of course!hehehe! As soon as I got home, I immediately transferred all my keys in that ring and I’m lovin’ it! Thanks momi Loreng!

That’s what my daughters always tell me whenever they like a good spot! They are so used to me taking photos that they would volunteer to smile and pose for the camera but sometimes when not in the mood, they speak their mind! Yesterday, after we dropped of my van for alignment, I asked hubby to drop us off to the mall nearby where he is working coz it was a nice day and I’d like to enjoy it and this is the kind of mall where it’s outdoors and I know my girls would enjoy the fountain there and I wasn’t wrong…that’s when they asked me to take their picture!

I didn’t know hubby’s friend, Gary will be coming up to the farm last Saturday until we got there and hubby said so. I was excited to see him once again! I remember our first meeting, he was so nice and I have a chance to see his house full of horns and stuffed animals! He’s an avid hunter! He hunts mostly deers and turkeys! Hubby wanted him to be the only person who can hunt in our farm coz there were more than 15 strangers who’s been hunting there for years but he just wants to keep our farm private which is a good idea! Gary is someone he knows for more than 20yrs. now and they’ve been really good friends and so, it would be nice to have him around our place all the time!

We spent an all-day Saturday at our farm just walking around and planting some trees…I took these pics to show my father some barns out there…

They sure looks like a lot of work to me! There’s even one that looks like in bad shape but hubby thinks he can restore them all! I think he’s crazy but I’ll leave it to him since he’s doing all the work! He’s optimistic that he can turn all the barns into very nice one just like restoring the old house…

Every time I bring my kids to the playground…my eldest, JC, could always find new friends! I’ve been noticing that she’s around with so many girls whenever she’s playing there. At one time I saw her talking to one kid, I knew then she’s very approachable! It was kinda cool that she can make new friends right away! I knew she won’t have a hard time getting along with her classmates as soon as she starts going to school and that will be this coming Sept! I’m so excited for her!!! Anyways, took a pic when my family and I were at the mall last Thursday {hubby tried to get a new cellphone service and so, we tagged along}…

I should be folding laundry right now or washing the dishes perhaps changing bedsheets BUT here I am playing with some of my photos! It’s been so long since I last used my photo actions! Why so? It’s time consuming and I know myself once I start doing it, I couldn’t stop and realized later on that I spent hours and hours twitting the photos,LoL! Anyways, just want to share these…

I don’t like how hubby take photos, he always get the subject small and the background too much! Maybe I’m not his subject?He might be more interested with the bg {bad bad davie!} Anyways, I just cropped, popped the colors with gaussian blur and layered it with dark…

This one’s too different! Not exactly sure if I like it {using professional retro with 65% opacity}

I shared about our afternoon walk at my other 2 blogs {Wandering Thoughts and A Window To Our World} and here, I’m sharing more photos of my kids!

After our walk, we stopped by at the playground where they have everything for themselves! It was getting dinner time so, I guess everybody’s home. Good thing is…they don’t have to compete for the horsie ride and swings!*wink*

It’s always wonderful to see these happy faces!

Just wanted to share here another photo from our picnic last week! I so enjoyed my Katie’s expression whenever I snap that camera! I dunno where she learned to smile like that! As for the big sister, she’s really good smiling right away when I say cheese! I guess they both got it from me =) As for the daddy, he’s the opposite of us - never smiled in pictures!

Weekends here is entirely busy and so, I could never make an entry the night before Monday and I am missing out every weekends to join too! Anyways, that up there is a picture of an antique phone at our farm house. I spotted this last Saturday while cleaning out the house there. Hubby wanted to take it down but as soon as I saw that, I really liked it and told him to let it stay. I think it has some character to it and will be a good display for our kitchen. It will be many weeks from now before we could move there but I am starting to like that place, honestly! Just a little bit scared of all the work that needs to be done!

Last week when we hit 70s on one of the weekdays, I brought the kids to the park and enjoy a beautiful warm day outside! They were so excited when I mentioned the word “picnic” and they sure remember last year when we would always enjoy a small picnic just in our backyard! This time, I tried to do it with my girls at the BIG park and they surely loved it! My eldest remembers the Nature Center so, she asked me to drop by there. Everytime we go inside that place, they always have that same thrilled and happy face! Everytime! Hope we can have more nice days like this to enjoy another picnic - just me and my girls!
