Our First Garden

Nate and I planted a garden!!! I am as shocked as anyone. It was inspired by Nate's brother Jarren who planted his own garden and gave us pointers and ideas from the book "Square Foot Gardening". It is so exciting to see it grow and actually see food growing on our plants.

These picture are taken a few weeks apart. I am amazed at how quick everything has started to grow. The real test will be to see if it can survive the heat. We planted tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, watermelon, white onions, red potatoes, and strawberries. We already have 4 bell peppers, 3 tomatoes, and a few strawberries growing!

Leaky Hose

My two water bugs. I was watering my garden with the hose and when I turned around Joriann was taking a shower in the leaking hose. Sister Addilee thought this was a great idea and so since one was already soaked I might as well let both get soaked. They had fun making foot prints on the side walk. Baths were a must that night!

Cookie Maker, Cake Baker

Addilee is my cookie, brownie, cupcake maker. She loves to help make sweet treats in the kitchen. I love to cook with her. She gets soooo excited. We made heart shaped cookies for our pre-school class and every one loved to decorate them and of course eat them. yum!

Alysia's Birthday

Here are my cute kids. Addilee helped make my birthday cake and she helped decorate it. It was so cute to see her excited about doing something for mom. Joriann got to HELP too. It was more like touching and sampling the frosting.

A day at the park. Both of the girls love the park.

Sisterly fun!

New tooth brushes. Who knew life could be so exciting?

Here we have our motorcycle mamas, or is it the underwear bandits? Who said Lightning McQueen underwear couldn't be worn on your head?

Little Artist

Addilee is becoming quite the artist. She likes to draw people and then she writes their names. usually an H or an A and then circles or scribbles. She is starting to really like to write letters. It is fun to watch her draw.

Joriann's Birthday

Birthday Cake tastes great. Especially when its your first.

Joriann had a great 1st birthday. She is so fun with a personality all her own.
We are having fun having her in our family.
