Our Little Fish

Kaylin is loving the freedom of learning how to swim on her own. This is only her 2nd time ever on her own. Isn't she doing great!

Our Garden is Growing!

Our garden is growing! Yay!!! We went out this morning to check on the garden and i think everything grew a foot taller over night. Everything is looking good except one of our poor cucumber plants that mysteriously died and shriveled away and our peppers that unfortunately don't get enough sun during the day. we are getting really excited to start tasting all our hard work.

 From right to left are onions, peppers started from seed, peppers bought prestarted, and our 3 varieties of tomatoes.
tomatoes and chives

more onions our HUGE broccoli, we had no idea broccoli plants were so big but look the heads are starting from right to left are the broccoli, beans, peas and carrots right to left is strawberries, potatoes, zucchini, and cucumber with two peppers mixed in where our cucumber disappeared from. the first of our zucchini, JT is most excited for these
and our pear tree
 Kaylin always loves coming outside and checking on the garden, but especially with her dad.

4th of July Fun!

We had a great 4th of July this year. Sadly JT worked during the day but Kaylin and I went out to celebrate with our friends the Brady's till both Dads got home from work. Kaylin and I spent the morning fitting her fireworks skirt to her that i had made all by myself the day before. I just had to be proud of myself for making something Kaylin loves so much, plus I think its pretty darn cute too! (So make sure to notice both outfits Kaylin is wearing, I made them both!) Once we got going we went to the parade and say lots of fun things. The kids favorite was the candy and otter pops being thrown out from every float. After the parade we went back to the Brady's house and had swim time! Kaylin just thought the blow up slide was as fun as it gets. Of course there was lunch and popsicles too. After that was thankfully nap time in preparation for the fireworks show that night. When Jt got home we did fireworks at our house. JT let Kaylin help light every one, and even throw the exploders. She was so excited to do all the fireworks, and loved that she even got to hold the sparklers herself. then of course was the big firework display for the night. They launch the big fireworks from the high school which is just around the corner from us so we had a great view right from our house. Needless to say it was a great day packed with fun and celebration!
