summer is here.

Simon loves to try on my sunglasses. :)

Apparently he likes to try on my make-up as well... (which is currently missing, and he won't tell me where he put it... thanks bud.)

Today was a nice summer day.  I get the summer vibe everywhere I go, now that school is out, and people have their music a little louder, and my sister in law is off work for 2 months, and I've already been to the beach (Simon's first time!), and Ryan got out the skateboard..

One thing I enjoy during the summer is fruit.  Fresh fruit that it.  I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fruit person other times of the year, but summer has got to be all about the fruit.  Like cherries.

or watermelon (with rollkuchen!!)

or strawberries

or raspberries... mmm

another thing I've been enjoying this summer so far, is this beautiful shrub outside our diningroom window.  I don't know what it's called or anything, but it smells so lovely, and the blossoms beg to have their photo taken. :)

A few summer resolutions of mine:

- walk everyday (or do the shred, or the bike challenge)

- take simon outside everyday, like for a walk, or to the park.

- eat fresh produce

- no more drinking Red Bull/Monster Energy... I'm quitting cold turkey.  (it was sooo hard while we were at the Motocross Nationals... they were giving it out for free!! But I resisted)  I've actually started enjoying Vitamin Water. :)  The dragonfruit one is my favorite, what is yours??

- keep on top of house work (as if that's going to happen)

- read at least 2 books.

- cook more, and make more interesting meals (blog post about this sometime soon)

In case you haven't heard, there's a blog party going on over at The Spark.

I'll be doing a guest post on Sunday, so check for that! I really liked this post today.

Happy weekend everyone! 

I hope all of my favorite Americans are enjoying your 4th of July festivities this weekend!!
