ME... getting frustrated! LOL...nahhhhh I love it! :)



Garden Update


Yes, my garden is currently full of weeds due to the abundance of rainfall we have had here...(hey, you won't hear me complaining) but the garden itself is flourishing....


Here are my lovely tomato plants



and they have flowered.....tomato's here I come!


My green peppers....see if you can pick them out among the weeds! LOL...




My beans!!!!! Yummy! I have already snagged a few! :D


The only thing that didn't take was the swiss chard ( I think I did it wrong and didn't start it in planters first) and my cantalope (pooh!) ...I was so looking forward to THAT! :( Ah well...I'm going to try again....it's still early.


P.S My mom taught me a neat trick I am going to try in my garden...she said...if you get weeds like I have (a lot of them, and the small ones) the trick is to weed it good once, and then lay newspaper down in between the rows (anchored by rocks or whatever you choose)....the newpaper is biodegradable, and it prevents the weeds from growing!!! :) :P :)
Pretty cool eh? I am going to try it today if I can manage to get a few hours in. I'll try anything at this point since it is my THIRD time weeding it. I'll let you know how it goes!

TTFN!!~~

Fun..Fun...Fun

Oh my....where to begin.

First off....let me take a moment to REMIND myself.... that I am older (and thought I was wiser) than I guess I tend to think of myself.

ANYWHO.....

here are a few pictures of the kids and my wonderful (mostly) growing garden!!!!

Kayla...trying to play the wii...


and a video...at about 40 sec she says the funniest thing...see if you can catch it..


Then we have her cheeseballin' it...


playing with her beans (thanks Jess!)


GARDEN AND YARD SHOTS!!!!

Garden BW (before weeding)


2 hours later...


While mommy was shopping...daddy, bug, and drama mama did some planting... (he got these seeds from his school field trip to the Alpaca farm) He has been dying to plant them...


watering the plants...


Our (as in Grandpa's and mine) 4 tomoto plants in a pot on the deck....


We have been doing A LOT of work on our backyard....trying to rlocate a lot of plants and then rototill (sp?) it all so we can plant/lay just grass....
Here is where the mint, and more lilies were...(grandma and grandpa are the ones that can truly appreciate this picture, as they know how it looked before!)




Just a random shot of one side of the yard..



Kayla's First Fishing experience...

runnin' to the dock (she is SOOO excited)..


Is this what I do dad?


I think I got it...


Where did that fish go?


LOVE it!! She CRACKS me up!!




Hope you all are well! Please show some support for Ruhiyyih (she is going on a mission trip to Gulu, Uganda)....even if it is prayers....they can be the most POWERFUL thing!

Ya'all ROCK!

Short-N-Sweet

A quick update on the fun we have been having in the yard...plus a few garden shots...

Quick video....

Bug and Drama Mama refilling our "Hannah" pond....

My hand hurts from squeezing the trigger mom.....

Yummmmmmmmy!

The pond almost full.....

Full...with a few plants added for our little rascal friend....(we'll add more later)

A few befores (in case you didn't know we are removing all the plants INSIDE the fence and replanting all new grass, so the kids have a YARD to play in!)

and where they went...(all in a pile)..

to here....(upper side)

and here...(Brad built me this...we had SO many to transplant!!)

My garden....growing slowly, but surely....

FOR MY MOTHER:

this is out back.....

in the front:

i wish you could truly SEE the purple in this flower...i wish i knew what it was...

the roses are coming in..there are SOOO many buds on this one...

Does Bug have the life or what? He said he was "on break"...

HUGE thanks to my dear sweet husband who SHOCKED me with flowers, a card, and a romantic candlelit dinner (he prepared!!!) after the kids were tucked into bed...I had NO idea he was doing this...I was so busy with homework and the kids....

I leave you with this rag-a-muffin....

smile....so someone will wonder what you have done! :)

TTFN!~
