Gardening Time

Richard, my darling, sweet, wonderful husband, worked for hours and hours to create these beautiful garden beds and our new watering system.  I am excited to not have to remember to water everyday.  Automatic watering is the best! This waters our whole garden in 1 minute.  The beds are all level so the water soaks in evenly and doesn't run to one end.  It is so much faster than running the hose in each section and also gentler on seeds and baby plants.  No more washing all the seeds down to the end of the bed, or holes made from the hose water.  I know it doesn't look like much yet, but there will be tomatoes by the ton in a couple of months.  YEA!!!

Josh in his Birthday Suit... hee hee

Josh has been wanting a suit for a long time, but since teenage boys grow so much, I have not wanted to spend that kind of money on a suit he might only fit in for a few months.

That was all he wanted for his birthday, so I did a lot of shopping and found one that fits him perfectly for a reasonable price.  He looks so dashing all suited up for church.  I love that boy!

More Birthdays

This time of year is full of birthdays.  Josh turned 15!  

 This one is mind blowing for me, Tim is 13!  A teenager!!!  How could this have come already?

And I turned 36.  My darling sweetheart bought me a beautiful, and comfortable, new bike along with a trailer to tote Susanna around in.  I love it!  Not only is it super duper cute but it really is so much more comfortable than my old bike.  Now I can go on family bike rides and enjoy myself.

 Of course I had to try it out even though it was after bed time.  Seriously though, isn't it SO cute!
