Fresh picked blueberries

I convinced Eric that we needed to have some blueberry bushes on our property. So I dragged him to a farm in 85 degree weather, so he could work for hours digging out the bushes that I chose. I helped carry the tools and bag the roots, though!

My first Mother's Day

This year, I am giving myself an honorary mention of motherhood. Jace and Eric would agree, I think. But before I start thinking about how I am going to spoil myself, I need to throw my soon-to-be-stepson, a 15th birthday party. What does a 15 year old boy want for his birthday? He wants a drumset...no....Cold hard cash for an i-touch....no....some new Nike street sneaks, new clothes and a guitar c-clamp....YES! Oh, and let's not forget the pizza, cake, and a dozen other teenage boys on skateboards at the local hangout during First Friday.

As for me; well, I think this non-traditional mommy will take some real windsurfing lessons and keep the mom-jeans at bay.
