Garden 2009

Yesterday I wandered out to my garden to check how everything was growing, and hiding down under the leaves were a lot of tiny tomatoes! The package said cherry tomatoes, but these are the tiniest cherry tomatoes I've ever seen! So cute and delicious though! We have already been harvesting zucchini, yellow crookneck, sugarsnap peas, and about 3 green beans. :) The carrots and I were not friends this year... but thats ok. I am excited to build our new house someday and have a bigger garden and have room to plant corn and be able to grow enough stuff to actually can it! Also on my list is planting a peach tree or 2, and a couple golden delicious apple trees. Apparently they make the best applesauce. Not to mention RASPBERRIES (my FAVE) and strawberries for jam. Yay gardening! It is so gratifying to reap the fruits of my labors.

D-land 07

Bring it on!!! I am SO ready to go back again! I love that Lisa and I are laughing so hard we're crying. And don't forget Jake pretending to be a little kid and Tyler shooting the camera. :) Good times! Too bad fritz will be too little to go in the spring :( But my mom and dad get to go! Woohoo!

Our herd of children

I just LOVE that my kids are so close the their cousins. Seriously, it makes my heart so happy. I hope they continue to be close for a long long time. They are so blessed to have each other! I love these kids...

Silly girl

Does she really not notice the bubbles covering her eye?? She just kept playing in the tub like there wasn't anything different... like bubbles covering half her face! So funny...

Batter up!

Isaac really enjoyed baseball this summer! It was a lot of fun to watch a real game where the kids really know what their doing! SO much different than T-ball. It was great seeing him enjoying himself and really getting quite good too!

Me vs. The Bathroom

Dunt Dunt Duunnn....
Oh yes, I won the battle with the bathroom. Even if I had to tile in the tub, I still got it done! woo hoo! And I guess Jake helped a little... :) (actually LOTS thanks honey!)

Tyla and Eesa

On our way home from helping the Holbrooks move into their new home, we stopped at the Lewis home. I thought this picture was hilarious. This is Kailey "wearing" tylers little wooden shoes key chain. :)
This is Tyler showing my boys some cool places on his mission on google earth.
Kailey LOVES her Lisa. Even if she doesn't always (ok, rarely)remember her name.

Little Rexy

So today our little Rexy went back to live with Heavenly Father. He was a sweet little puppy and was a wonderful member of our family. He will be missed... he had an accident while playing outside.While no one was around, he jumped off the top of a playset and forgot he was attached to a leash and never made it to the ground. :( Poor little guy. The kids are coping ok. We had a little funeral so I think they are getting some good closure. It makes it easier for them to know that hes running around up in heaven..
