Corn rows! Get it?

I am happy to say we have corn growing. Now we wait. and wait.. and wait.....

My almost three year olds and me!

It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in this same chair and having a horrible time with my shirt not covering my overly pregnant belly! Life goes by so fast.

*H*O*T* day sprinkler fun!








It has been soooo hot the kids have cabin fever (literally)! Thanks to Pa, they have a new beach ball sprinkler to play with. Lots of fun!

Jacksons 2nd grade end of the year picnic!








The twins and I joined Jackson and his class for an end of the year picnic. I can hardly believe he is now almost a 3rd grader. Where does the time go? He grew up so much this past year and adjusted so well with the school change. He has become quite my young man, but will always be my baby.

Shooting for the stars.......


Avary is definitely our sports child. Thank goodness we have at least one or Craig might just lose it! She loves to shoot hoops and is pretty good at dribbling also.

Pool side at Aunt Kims and Uncle Dans






We helped celebrate my youngest cousin Coles high school graduation a couple of weeks ago. They have a beautiful backyard and pool that of course everyone enjoyed.

Jackson accepting his hard earned awards!



Jackson received a Perfect Attendance and Homework Hero award last week at school. We couldn't be more proud of him for how well he did with his first year of being a GATE student!

They are growing like a weed


The kids found this huge weed growing behind a bush and thought it was the funniest thing!

Our Garden






This summer we built a square foot garden. So far, so good. We planted peppers, tomatoes, corn, carrots, watermelon, squash, strawberries, basil, artichokes and zucchini! I am happy to say that everything seems to be growing. We did however have a few corns disappear. Weird!! Nobody knows how that happened! I think I have an idea though.

Fathers Day Weekend Camping Trip 2009






Well, we did it! We pulled off our first camping trip of the year. It was a lot of fun and laughs. We camped at a place called Pardoes Point at Bear Creek Reservoir. The weather could not have been better. We did everything from hiking to looking for bugs to climbing and playing in the 'too cold still' water. We will definitely be back!
