Emma odd sleeping place



 Emma kept saying she wasn't tired and didn't want to go to bed. We, of course, sent her to bed anyways. I went to her room and noticed she wasn't there. Checked Bryce's room and nope...went to check our room and BAM there she was!!! She was asleep in 2 (yes I said 2!) CLEAN laundry baskets of clothes in hallway! Scared me for a sec but couldn't stop laughing!!  She had to been there for about an hour cause if you look closely her head is purple from the bottom of her eyes to the top of her head.  That laundry basket had less clothes in it!  Poor thing!

Bryce's last day of preschool

 Bryce is now a BIG boy attending Kindergarten.  But He had to say goodbye to Preschool first.  He sure loved going to Joyful Noise.
                                     Huge rice krispie kisses for the teachers!  We sure loved them.
They had a wonderful closing program to mark the end of preschool.  They gave out Bibles to all the graduating kiddos.  Such  a sweet gift.  He sure love his.

Our Garden


When we purchased our house, there were many things I was looking forward in doing.  Starting a garden was literally at the top of the list!  But I have never gardened before and wasn't quite sure how to get started. So I enlisted my my friend Jamie for the veggies and Laura for the flowers and Wow, what a successful garden.  



                                             Our front yard, the daffodils are starting to bloom.

 We had maybe 2 red tulips out of 180 bulbs planted!  We had all yellow and white flowers of all kind...crazy

                                                                         Potatoes!!
 Donnie was so sweet and built me 2 large garden planters.  Also painted them so they would last several years.  Here is the start of my garden.  Luckily we get tons of sun so our garden grew insane crazy wild!
                                                  Very tiny but super sweet strawberries
    Our garden progression! One thing I learned...plant the white onions deeper!  We love the  lettuce!                          Potatoes are growing!

    We cheated and bought tomatoes starts.  I was worried at first, but now...wow we have        TONS of huge juicy tomatoes!

Some broccoli, carrots and potatoes.  If you see our carrots now, they are HUGE...Our cucumbers didn't come in, but really I have to say this was a huge success.  We were able to share so much of it with our neighbors...it was a wonderful experience.
