Fun in the afternoon

Braydon and my favorite afternoon activity has been hanging out on the deck. It has been about 80 degrees in the afternoon, so after his nap and snack I put him in a little swimmer and we are off to explore his pool, sand and water toy and anything else he can find on the deck. Sometimes we even get to see a family of deer. The one we see the most has 2 does, 2 fawns and a baby buck. The fawns look like twins. It definitely different from Orange County but it is one of the great things about being up here. Molly even joins us in the fun.

My cuisine experiment tonight was chicken tacos with Mango Salsa. The turned out delicious. I have been trying out recipes from my mom's diabetic cookbook and this recipe is a keeper!  I even substituted sweet pickles for the jalapeno peppers and it gave it the kick it needed without the spice. Braydon even ate some of the lime chicken.

Christian has been gone now 6 days, all of which Braydon has been teething.  Poor little guy is having a difficult time getting his molars. He constantly has a teething ring in his hand and mommy has been taking a lot of Tylenol.  Soon we will all get though it!

We had our music time today. I just love Wednesday mornings. It was a large group, probably about 15 mommies and kiddos. We played with egg shakers, sang songs, read a couple of books and meet other people in Grass Valley. I am hoping to make some friends in that group.

On a totally mommy note, I bought two pairs of the cutest earrings! I have a new favorite store, La Te Da. The owner is so sweet and helpful. I also bought my favorite jeans of all time there! That is quite a feat! Well enough for now. Sweet Dreams.
