Grow things!

Want to feel accomplished???? Plant a garden!! Seriously my black thumb is turning a tad green!! This morning I went to weed my garden and much to my excitement, I had green beans to be picked!!! Then looking around I noticed little green 'maters!! It's really fun to plant something and now to be able to enjoy it.

So here's my garden. It's a little crowded...but hey, I'm a beginner. :)


My little green maters!




And my beans!


And this was the first pick! There's enough for the family for dinner tonight! YAY!

Party Time!

Yesterday we were able to celebrate Haley's birthday at my parents house. It was fun having Uncle Jym there too.

Four years ago yesterday, Haley entered our lives...chia pet hair and all....


The pregnancy and delivery were both a breeze and we were instantly in love.



All that chia pet hair didn't quite keep up as your noggin grew. But eventually it all worked out. You've always had dreamy eyes in a striking shade of blue.


You have always been a little strong willed. You know what you want and what you don't!


You are easy to please and generally happy go lucky!



When did you get to be so big!? Slow down, baby girl. I'm not ready!



Soon you'll be starting school and the time we get one on one while the littles nap each day will be gone. So if I squeeze you a little tighter each day, don't complain, mmkay?

Happy Birthday, my bug-a-boo. I love you.

New tricks!

Lindsey is already SIX MONTHS OLD!! Holy canoli!! Where has the time gone? She had her well check this past Friday. She is up to 13.9 pounds and 24.25 inches tall. She is just a petite little girl! She has a couple new tricks up her sleeve....

Watch out....I'm MOBILE!



Her second stunt is sitting up for short periods of time. Cah-razy!
