My garden a Few Weeks ago

Everything is much bigger by now, but I haven't posted anything about my garden in a while and these are the pictures that I had on the computer. My tomatoes are so big now and the zucchinis too, but the beans and peas are almost done.

The peas and beans were sooooo good fresh right out of the garden as a snack and cooked up with dinner.

The boys and I have been enjoying the carrots too.

A Day at the North West Washington Fair

Just over a week ago we thought it would be a great idea to go the the fair, so after I worked on a Saturday we packed up the kids and took an adventure across the border. Unfortunately the I think it was the hottest day of the year and the boys were all melting with in 5mins. Quinlan was the worst though, he barely made it. He could didn't get out of the stroller and the only thing he wanted to do was maybe drink some water. I don't think he has ever been that hot in his entire life.

Ben fishing.

Ben got to ride a cow in the 4H barn.

I took a night Photography Class

I took a night photography class on Saturday and here are a few of the results without editing. I really had a good time even thought I'm very rusty with my camera.

Sun for the Garden

I was exited to see the sun come out today because I've been wondering how my plants are doing with this lack of sun. But today was so nice that I'm hoping it will help them grow big and strong.

I can't wait to taste these yummy tomatoes.

Finally a Sunny Family Day

Here is a few pictures of our fun family day at the water park.

It was so good to finally have a sunny family day at the park.

Ben is getting a little more comfortable in the water. He actually was a little wet by the time he left.

Quinlan on the other hand jumped right in the water and was soaking wet in seconds.

I was surprised how many people where at the park.

School is still in section isn't it?

Yum, lunch at the park!

I hope everyone else got a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine. It was just so nice.

Generational Love

While making the boys beds today I was admiring there quilts and blankets and thinking how blessed they are to have so many generations of people who love them. They have blankets and quilts from every generation of family members. Some from grandmas, great grandmas, good family friends and even me. What a blessing to see the love that is passed down from generation to generation.

The picture above is also a picture of Quinlan's new 'bed.' We just put his crib mattress under the bunk beds until he gets a new one for Christmas. It is actually really good that he is on the floor because he is always half off the mattress when I check on him.

Anyway, thank to everyone who has shared there love and time they put in to the blankets and quilts for our boys.

Growing Garden Finally

I was checking out my garden today and Ben decided to make 'chocolate milk' with mud and water. He was having a really good time and he didn't make too much of a mess, so I got a lot done while he was doing it.

Mostly this year I planted veggies, but I did plant one flower and here it is. It still looks the same.

The kinds of veggies I planted are:

Green Arrow Peas

Dwarf Gray Sugar Peas

Kentucky Wonder Bush Beans

Touchon Carrots

Green Onions and

Zucchini

this is one of the peas.
