Look out, ladies-this Guy knows how to cook!

First let me start by saying that sometimes it is very hard to get dinner cooked unless the littlest member of the family is occupied...


And sometimes the only thing that will occupy her is something very yummy and very messy...

Something that she can smear all over her face, her hair, and her highchair...

Mmmmm...that's good!

Meanwhile...
Brandon is helping me cook dinner. He is very happy to be helping. And I am beyond happy to have the help. I am all set to pass the dinner-making torch on to him, haha!

There was, however, one thing that he wasn't too thrilled about...

Can you guess what it is?

My oldest gives a huge thumbs-down to the peas in the food he is helping to cook! He is at the age where he doesn't like most veggies. At least, those veggies that I cook. What can you do, right? I can't understand why when his Vegan aunt (Hi, Aunt Kat!) visits and cooks all sorts of wonderful, healthy vegan food, he happily eats it! He LOVES her cooking!

Maybe I really stink at cooking veggies... :(

His sister, however, absolutely couldn't get enough of the steamed peas I put on her plate!

She literally ate about 1/2 cup of them. Let's hope she continues to be this good at eating healthy!

Finally, I couldn't resist taking some pictures of the gorgeous cherry blossoms on our neighbor's tree. They peek right over our fence and make the most beautiful backyard scenery. I know how awful my point-and-shoot camera is, but even so I had to try and capture the beauty of nature! (I really hope to get a better camera sometime this year).
