Our Garden (4/10 Update)

So we've wanted to have a garden for a while. Our dilemma has been that we kill things. Every time. 

We decided to give it a whirl and pray that something would happen for the kids' sake! ha!

Luke helping me plant the tomato seeds


Watering the seeds


They actually started to sprout!!! Thank you Jesus!!


Jonathan built garden beds with scrap wood that we had. 


At about 2 weeks in Parker got into Luke's room and dumped two of the pots of tomato plants. Luke was pretty devastated and I was trying to hide my devastation! :) They were completely upside down so I tried my best to try to scoop everything up and flip them fast. The sprouts were covered now and we hoped that they would be strong enough to poke through yet again. 

And they did it!!


Jonathan planted carrots, lettuce, spinach, green onions in this little garden bed. 


Jonathan also constructed a cage/netting to protect the seeds and plants. 


The tall garden bed will have snow peas, okra, corn and tomatoes. 


I hope this works!! haha!

---- LATEST UPDATE ----
Here are the latest pics of our garden!

Taylor Reveal Party!

My brother and sister-in-law are due in August with the next grandbaby! We are so excited for them!!

On March 9th they went to have THE sonogram and then they "revealed" it to us in the cutest way at dinner!

Here's some of the pictures from the party!





Amanda made bows and bow ties for us to hold up to show how we were voting!



My vote was boy just for the record! :)

After Jacob and Megan found out what they were having they went to a local pizza place to put in their special order...


The anticipation in these photos cracks me up! I wish you could have heard the squealing going on as they opened one box at a time!


It's...

February 2013

February is such a fun month for us as we celebrate both boys' birthdays! I'm learning that I am going to have to be very intentional to make Parker's actual birthday special. With the Luke's birthday typically falling before the party (I try to make a big deal of the day) and Parker's birthday typically falling after the birthday party I got nothin' left! I'll do better next year! Thankfully he's still too young to know when the actual day is.

Here's what we did in February!





Here's their birthday party posts...


Then we had Valentine's Day!


Aunt Bek's valentines :)


 Our after dinner entertainment...


Parker practicing his street performing skills (he moved the chair here and just started playing!).


Being a little ham over a cake pop!



 Here are some videos!
