Tea Parties, Tomatoes and Tess

Yesterday it was just the girls and me for the majority of the day, Bret has his last CPA exam tomorrow (say your prayers that he will pass! I know he will do great!) so he is busy studying. I called my mom and she said she would have a tea party for us. She and Faye were wonderful hostesses. We had little sandwiches, salad, punch and cake. Delicious!


We have a small garden and by small I mean, struggling to survive. Yet even out of some neglect, our little garden gave us a few yummy tomatoes. Bret and Reese made dinner this week and included them in the meal. On the menu, chicken salad sandwiches.
The fruit of out labor
This is classic, Bret is constantly making fun of the faces that I take when I take a picture with food. This is one of our jalapenos!

The finished product
Tess, she is an Angel baby. That is what my mom calls her. She is such a fun girl, everyone likes her and she is always a friend to everyone. She is gorgeous. I just went today to go hear her give a talk in sacrament meeting and really she is just getting so old and mature and I love her. She is beautiful inside and out. She starts high school next week and I just want her to know that it is a fun time, and important to make the kind of choices that you will be proud of looking back and most of all to treat everyone with charity. She is such a blessing in my life. Love you Tessie

Did I mention she is beautiful! I know tell me about it. Too bad we only share heavenly genes! If only I had that hair, skin, smile, everything!

you have all those great things in your genes, too. You guys are both beautiful! Loved the garden pics and, BY FAR, my fav is Bret making fun of your picture faces. I don't know about you, but I LOVE it when Jared makes fun of me (in a nice way, of course). I think it shows they are paying attention, huh?! I love all you food faces, btw!
