Lauren's Visit

This past week my friend Lauren came to visit. We took the kids out sight seeing everyday and had a great time. We went to the aquarium on the last afternoon she was here with Brandon. The aquarium is very interactive for kids, so it was fun to watch Jacob running around looking at and playing with everything. Lauren and I went to the Farmer's Market on Tuesday night in downtown Monterey. It was my first time to go even though there is a Famer's Market every Tuesday night. I think I will be getting all of my produce from there from now on. It was incredible! I bought several things but I think my favorite was the 2 lbs of roma tomatoes that I brought home and dehydrated to make sundried tomatoes. They were sooooo good! I bought a dehydrator from a friend of mine at the post wide yard sale a few weeks ago and having a great time trying all the different fruits and veggies. I think my favorite are apple chips and bananas. Lauren and I also bought a bunch of strawberries and tried to make jam. It tastes really good but didn't really jell right. Well we had a fun filled week but I am ready to get back to a schedule next week. Lauren wore me out.

Jacob and his totally awesome mohawk. He was "bad to the bone" for two whole days!

My baby girl! Zoe is growing so fast and developing a little personality of her own.
