The Garden Has Sprouted

I have been watering the garden every couple of days and yesterday and today we got some good rain so now there are lots of new little plants starting to grow.

Radish sprouts, the carrots and
beets have sprouted too but they are
sooooo small I didn't even try to get a picture
of them.


Zucchini


Cucumber


Green beans.. They just sprouted yesterday
and look at how fast it has grown!


And the tomato plants are getting bigger.

Bath Time Fun!

More Nature Pics

Dave took these this morning.

Don't know what this is but maybe I will try to
transplant it since it looks like a "domestic" plant.


More azaleas


Something I have never seen before, don't know
what it is called.


Why does this have to be in my creek!?
Ahhhhh!

The Garden Plot

This is what the garden looks like now after planting everything.
I'll post new pics as things start to grow.


Tomatoes and a few other things

Yay! Its Finally Done

After two days of working in the soil and bending over planting seeds the garden is finally finished. We have green beans, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, green and regular onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, beets, and radishes. Hopefully we will have a plentiful bounty this summer and fall.

The Best Things Happen By Accident

As you know I have started some seeds indoors for my veggie garden and I was having trouble getting my bell peppers and jalapeno peppers to sprout. I had pretty much given up and stopped watering them and decided to get some later that were already grown. To my surprise when we got back from our fun weekend in N.C. they had sprouted. I guess I was watering them too much. Now they will be ready for planting out in the garden this weekend. Yay!

A Long Trip!

Well we got back home a couple days ago from visiting Mom and Rich in N.C. and boy were we ever exhausted after a long day in the car. It didn't help that we ended up in Atlanta during rush hour and also needed to go grocery shopping before going home. We all had so much fun at Grandma and Grandpa's though that it was well worth it. I (being the forgetful person that I have become since having kids) forgot my camera again. So we have no pictures but we always have memories. Grandma and Grandpa took us to a butterfly exhibit where there was also a train that we all got to ride on, along with the butterflies there were wolves, bears, and lemurs. Grandma made yummy food as always and we watched "underdog" together. What a fun weekend!


Whew! I am soooo tired






A nice refreshing bath after being in the car all day.

This looks so cool

Learning So Much

After many many tries Leland has mastered rolling over.
He seems to love his new talent.



Yay!





Leland is also doing really well with sitting,
he still needs a little support but he his well on his way.

Oh, and the biggest news ever we moved Leland into Caleb's room and he will sleep up to ten hours now. I think Dave's snoring was waking him up :)

Slowly taking away the pillow.

Getting Ready For Church And My New Issues With Having a 2 Year Old

Leland chillin on the couch waiting
for the rest of us to get ready.



Caleb is always so happy that we are going to church.


Leland look pretty happy too.


Okay here we go, last Sunday we were all in a good mood ready to enjoy our first Sunday of Dave's new schedule that allows him to join us for church. We get there and put the boys in their classes. Caleb in the 3-5 class and Leland in the nursery. That is where my good day became very bad. First of all I have been putting Caleb in the 3-5 class because he is board and gets no interaction or real "Bible learning" in the nursery, second, I don't think 2 year olds and babies belong in the same class and third ... this is my big issue if I put MY son in the class I believe he needs to be in and he isn't behaving rightly then come tell me don't take it upon yourself to remove MY son from the class I put him in and put him in a room with BABIES. I was told the problem was that Caleb was off playing with toys when all the other kids were sitting in a circle soooo I decided to practice with him this week , reading a story while he sits on the floor. He did really good so whats the problem? Did no one tell him what he needed to do? GRRRRRR!
So tell me am I over reacting or is this just how other people think they are allowed to act with other peoples kids?

A Day in The Life....

Caleb's day:
Wake up
Eat(maybe
Play
Eat(maybe)
Play
Eat(maybe)
Nap
Eat (maybe)
Play
Eat (maybe)
Sleep.... start again tomorrow

What you see over and over again is that Caleb has got to be the most difficult kid to get to eat his food. I put him in time out for not eating, I make him sit at the table until he eats or its time for bed. I think he would rather starve sometimes, it is soooooo aggravating. Sometimes I just don't know what I am going to do with him.

The one thing he will eat in a quesadilla, and cereal is another
favorite of his other than that it is nearly hopeless sometimes.


Yay! good job Caleb!


Leland eats all the time no problems with him yet :)


He is learning how to roll from back to belly.
Good job! keep trying.

At The Table

Leland has made it clear that he will no longer tolerate being in a different room when everyone else is in the kitchen. We have a high chair that Caleb used but it is super hard to clean so we got one that is easier to clean and is less bulky and straps to a regular chair....
Look how excited he is!


Just hanging out.


How do I reach these toys anyway!
