Market on the Move

Today I went to Markets on the Move. One of Heather's clients told us about it.  You pay $10 and get 60 lbs of fruit and vegetables. I was trying to attach their website but my iPad won't seem to let me do it.  I couldn't believe all the food you get.  There is a sign posted right before you pay letting you know what you will be getting.  It varies because of what's in season and what the local producers bring in. Today I got 5 giant eggplant, 3 spaghetti squash, 10 green peppers, 5 yellow peppers...a giant bag of mixed greens and tons and tons of green beans, Serrano and banana peppers and Roma tomatoes.  I was totally unprepared.  When I pulled up and got out to get in line I looked around and everyone had wagons and pull carts and laundry baskets....I had nothing...luckily they give you boxes but it's not exactly easy to go through a line and drag boxes when one gets full.  And did I mention Heather couldn't make it but I paid $10 for her as well so I actually had to get 120 lbs of veggies!! I'll know better next time! 😊

Great day for a hike

  No school today!! Marcus and I and Copper hit the trails for another hike. 

Cheer competition

Today was the cheer competition for the Deer Valley School District. Our Terramar cheerleaders got 3rd place beating out some fantastic schools. Pretty awesome considering they didn't even get started until halfway through the season! I'm so proud of them!!!

Band Concert and pie

Marcus had his first band concert.  Waiting for their turn to perform. 

He even had a little part where it was only him playing.  Each child got a chance to do that.

Look at this price!!!! ....and yes, I paid it because I wanted a Dutch Rhubarb pie that bad!!!

Can I tell you it was soooo good!!!!

Gift card shopping.

Mackenzie got a Barnes and Noble gift card from the Bird family and so she finally spent it.  She got a book and a journal.  She got Flowers in the Attic and Petals in the Wind.  Flowers in the attic was the first series of books I ever read.

Marcus spent his gift card to Hobby Lobby from Papa and Grandma Katy.  New brushes and a couple paint markers and a canvas and he still has money left.  He always likes to leave a little left on a gift card so he can go back again. :)

I rescued this plant last week and another one that looks just like it.  Someone moved out of a house near ours and they were sitting on the edge of the driveway with a sign that said "take me"....so of course, I took them.  I gave one to my girlfriend Heather.  I love a good find!!!

A visit from family

My cousin came for a quick visit from Alaska before heading up to the Grand Canyon for a 2 week work training trip.  It went fast but we stayed busy and  got to catch up a lot.  We went hiking and then went to the Botanical Gardens...the weather was great!

I just felt like taking a picture of Annie taking a picture. :)

It was so good to see her!!

Mackenzie and cheer

I love getting to watch her cheer. 

She is enjoying it and all the girls get along really well.
