Gardening

A while back, I posted about Kevin putting in two raised-bed gardens in our back yard. I thought I'd update on the progress of our vegetables. If I were like Heather, I'd have a special name for this (Like "The Home List") but....Gardening will have to do :) I'll be posting soon about another "Home List" type thing I've done this summer.

Here are our plants:

Lettuce

Tomatoes


Broccoli

Peas
(they grow fast and these three pictures show how the flower turns into the pod)



Carrots
We also have Zucchini (because we all know how much Kevin loves it!), Peppers, and Cucumber; but my pictures of those didn't turn out so great because I took them at dusk last night. We had a salad last night with the lettuce and peas from the garden....it was great! :)


And, most of you come for pictures of Chloe....So, here is the most recent!

Oh, and you can use my oh-so-creative and clever title if you'd like!

We can't wait to camp with you all...Chloe and Grace and Leah will have SO much fun together.

Give "Miss Too Cool" a kiss from her buddy "Finally Got a Top Tooth" E.

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
