Grow Garden Grow!!

I have been asking Derek's Dad to build me a garden...and he finally caved in and decided to give me my garden! He has been working really hard building the box and shoveling 2 Tons of dirt! Today I helped shovel the last truckload of dirt, get the veggies and PLANT!! I am so excited for the next few months and really hope we get some yummy veggies! I have a good feeling, the plants we bought were "Bonnie" brand and that is Derek's moms name...I think it is meant to be! Here are some pictures of the garden...I might include some later that show me doing some actual work!

Just in case you are curious our garden includes: Roma tomatoes, Cherry tomatoes, Yellow tomatoes, Green peppers, Yellow peppers, Beans, Cantaloupe, Cucumber, Chives, Parsley and some wild flowers! The first thing that should bloom is the flowers followed by the beans! I am hoping I can update you in two weeks when the flowers bloom with some great pictures! Thank you Bob for building the garden! I am looking foward to our HUGE crops!

Dancing Queen...

Do I already have a post named that?? Oh well, it really describes our little girl! She will bring us the remote pretty much everyday at some point and ask us to turn on the radio...actually she says "dance" "dance". Tonight we got a little bonus show, she grabbed her doll "Helen" and took her for a spin!

Another kitchen video...

I couldn't decide which one I liked better and now they are wanting to load, so you get to see both! PLUS..Grandma Megan was giving me a hard time for not updating...so she gets THREE posts in a row!

Kitchen video!

I got one to load finally!!

Our little cook!

Taylor has really taken to "helping" in the kitchen! She does have her own kitchen, which she has really taken to using lately...maybe from all of her practice in the "big" kitchen. I came home from running errands to Taylor preparing a meal, it was adorable, she had on her apron and she was sprinkling things into the frying pan on the stove. I am so sad all I can share is a picture, I have two super cute videos of her really working things in her kitchen, but it must be too long to post! Sorry the first picture is a little blury...it is more of an action shot!

First Ouchie....

So we haven't had much to post about lately and not too much going on...so unfortunately for everyone you have to read about Taylor's first ouchie. Although I can pretty much guarantee if I would have asked her what I should blog about she would have said "Ouchie" and then proceeded to cry with the most fake, pathetic face you have ever seen!

This morning at church Taylor fell and skinned both knees to the point of bleeding. This is honestly the worst ouchie she has had in almost 21 months...so she is milking it. After we fixed her up she made sure everyone knew she hurt her knee and would look around fake crying to whoever would listen, it actually was pretty entertaining to watch. On the ride home she said "ouchie, OH no" probably about 50 times and then would do a little fake cry. This evening she is still saying "Ouchie" and if you look at her when she says it, she will cry again...I think we have a drama queen on our hands!

So again I apologize for having to do a post about an ouchie, but it's all we've got right now!

Birthday Fun

Growing up our Birthday's always got spread out over a few weeks because of family parties, friend parties and so on....that has never stopped for me, I still require a long drawn out Birthday celebration. With this year being my 30th, I decided I would celebrate for 15 days before and 15 days after...30 days of celebrating. I haven't really made Derek celebrate everyday but we've done some fun things in the last few weeks and I am so thankful he is such a trooper and continues to let me celebrate!

Today was another celebration! Derek's family had a Birthday lunch for me with yummy food...especially my two favorite pies (chocolate and strawberry)...of which I had BOTH Thank you Bonnie for making both for me, once again!. Thank you everyone for a great Birthday day!

More Birthday celebration pictures to follow in upcoming blogs...it is a big one after all so maybe I should post 30 pictures :)
