Fun at the Creek

Aside from the huge yard that John's Aunt has down hoopie, there's also a small creek near her house. We had so much fun running around chasing the kids and exploring the creek.

My hubby has told the kids many stories about playing in the same creek when he was a child. He was very fond of catching crayfish and salamanders.

He really enjoyed showing the kids the various types of wildlife living in and around the creek. I'm just glad we didn't see any black snakes, cottonmouths, or copperheads.

Rylie had a blast throwing rocks in the still water, a job usually held by EJ.

I grew up on a farm, so I experienced all of this stuff. For my kids, this is a fun and exciting learning adventure because they don't normally see these things at home.

Thanks for visiting.

Second Year of Blogging

Hello everyone. Time flies so fast, can you believe that it's the mid-year already. Today, June 1st, marks the day I was introduced by a friend to blogging. Actually she started telling me about it in Mid-May but I did not have the courage to start until June. I am glad she did insist for me to blog because I love it ever since.

It's nice to share to others what you are enjoying, enduring, and many things. I learned a lot from blogging and I met a lot of good people/friends too. Thanks a lot Malou!

Caterpillar

Psssssstttt...I will reveal one of my secrets... Do you know that I am so scared of any kinds of squirmy wormy? Yes I am! .. I can't even look at them when they are moving.. So freaky ewww! My husband laughs at me whenever I see a worm because I can scream lol.

The other day, I was busy doing the laundry while hubby and EJ are in the garage cleaning the car. He called me and said "Please come quick and bring the camera." That is what he was playing with.. A freaking caterpillar wahhhhhhh.

I called Rylie and thought that she would be sacred but heck no, she liked it too... I am glad they are not like me. BUT, they are scared of spiders and I am NOT! We use to play with spiders when I was a kid.

The pores of my skin were big while taking pictures of my burritos playing with the caterpillar hahaha.

And then they decided to keep it inside the house. They put it in a container and put some leaves some leaves on it for him to eat. Oh lord, my kids are fearless lol.

Roses in my garden

Here are the roses in our garden. This yellow one is planted at the back. when I planted this two years ago, I thought that it wasn't going to live because it was already dried out when I bought it on a reduced price. I gave it a try and she did live. When I came back from Korea, she is so tall and giving us so many blooms.

I took different shots on different angles, I just love capturing the beauty of this rose.

I took these shots last week after the rain had stop.

I love the scent of this pink rose planted at the side of our back porch. I got this from my father-in-law's garden two years ago.

I bought this on a reduce price too when we just transferred to our home. I planted this in front of our house. This is an attention catcher as it blooms a lot.

I love this one, although it doesn't grow very good. I planted this together with the yellow one but this one is still on the ground while the yellow is so tall. Despite of the height, this has a lot of buds too but my dear Chelsea ate most of them and only one has left.

My FIL gave me two pots of miniature roses the other day and I planted it in front of our house. Hopefully it will grow. Dad said it will because he thinks I have a "green finger.. he meant green thumb". But let us see.
