Sunday

Getting ready for church is always exciting, especially when Kevin is gone at meetings all morning and church doesn't start until 2pm...not my favorite time for church. The kids took a bath pretty early because I also had a meeting I had to go to, so I was trying to get them as ready as I could, not knowing what time I would be back. Teagan was being such a good boy and got dressed right away and went in to comb his hair (even though church didn't start for another 4 hours, it's the thought that counts, right?) Well, he just looked so cute that I decided to take a picture of him. After I got done with that I noticed the girls also trying to get primped and ready to go, so I thought I would take pictures of each of them in the different stages of being ready for church. Teagan, completely ready, Book of Mormon and all, Livia with her dress on and about 20 necklaces and bracelets that she thought would look good, and Maylee just struggling to get her shirt on. :)

It's Garden Time!

After a few seasons of not gardening, I was anxious and excited to get going again! I bought my seeds, fertilizer and a few plants about a week and a half ago but was unable to do plant them, for one reason or another. (Plus it rained a ton! Probably a good thing I didn't plant them yet.)

Well, the kids are always up for helping, especially if it's outside. Teagan was excited about digging, Maylee couldn't wait to plant the carrot and pea seeds, and Livia was just happy to be outside with the whole family. Our garden area is not very big, but I guess it will do...I just wasn't thinking when we first moved in that we would need an area bigger than 5x8 feet. (I don't know what I was thinking.) But we were able to plant spinach, peas, carrots, radishes, bell peppers, zucchini, green onion, corn, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and one strawberry plant. Where are you asking is that all going to grow in a little 5x8 space? We shall see...

I didn't get started until late afternoon and so I was getting a little chilly as the sun started to set behind our fence. My fingers and toes were feeling a little numb by the time I went inside. The kids enjoyed it and hopefully in a few months we will have plenty to show for our hard work.
