The garden this year got started a little late because we were working on our yard. But, we finally got it ready and planted some plants, and seeds. Last Monday for family night we decided to let the girls plant some seeds. It was really fun. They had a little trouble not stepping on the plants that were already planted, but they did a good job. The kids really enjoy the garden. Ellie especially loves to eat fresh stuff we grow. Last year she ate peas and carrots without even washing them off. A little gross, I know. This year Justin is super excited to have an automatic drip system that he put in. Now he doesn't even have to worry about watering. And I don't have to lose him to outside chores.
This first picture is of our cat, he decided to fertilize our garden right before we planted the seeds. Remind me again why we have cats. It was pretty funny, at least the girls thought so. Noah was already in bed, if you were wondering. He had a long day that day and wore himself out playing outside.

Big Brother

These were taken over Mother's Day. Noah is about to become a big brother and it looks like he will do great! He was more than happy to help take care of his younger cousin.

Mother's Day

I have been trying to post this for days, but it seems like life keeps getting in the way. I just wanted to share that I had a pretty good Mother's day this year. Justin wasn't feeling well, so, you know. But the day before we did get some of my flowers planted. For mother's day I asked for some flowers for my window box. Justin fixed it all up and it looks beautiful.

Taylor's first field trip

I know the last pictures I posted were from the zoo, but that was actually a while ago. Last Friday Taylor had her kindergarten field trip to the zoo. You know me and that I couldn't possibly miss out on such a fun adventure, so I went as a parent helper. A lot of the kids hadn't ever been on a bus before, so that was the most exciting part. The kids were pretty wild the whole 1.5 hour ride. Taylor and I got to sit together and play games on the way, it was so fun! When we got there each parent helper had 3 kids to keep track of. One of the girls I was watching was released to her mom 10 minutes after we got there. So it was just me, Taylor and her friend Ashley. It was so fun, and easy! Only two kids at the zoo, no stroller! We had a fabulous time. We saw everything and rode the train. I was pretty tired after, because our zoo has a lot of hills, but it was worth it. I love one on one time with my kids.

Hello

Well, the batteries in my camera are dead and I haven't done much about it. That means that I have no new pictures to post. And I know the only people that read this are family that just want to see pics of the kids,so I found some older pictures from our trip to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. We have been keeping busy around here. Let's see... Justin and I went to the Jazz game on Friday, which was really fun. Saturday Justin and Matt spent 4 hours (really) at the home depot buying everything we need to finish the basement bathroom. He is going to try and finish it before the baby comes. So I will be a single mother for the next few weeks. Taylor and Ellie are in their last month of school. I can't believe it! Summer is almost here. I am now 34 weeks pregnant and doing pretty good. Okay thats a lie, I have a lot of pain, but what can I expect? This is my 5th pregnancy in 6 years, the body can only do so much. We manage, but the kids are anxious to get their real mommy back I am sure. So, I think I will get to changing the batteries in my camera. I am missing so much, like Saturday when Noah jumped into the bath with Joslyn with all of his clothes on. I didn't get a picture, but it was pretty funny. For now enjoy this funny pictures from the zoo.
