grow garden, grow!

we got back from TX and were so excited to see how much our garden had grown (thank you Nicks for taking care of it for us!)

we have anaheim chili peppers, kale, summer squash, tomatoes, basil, oregano and bell peppers

I am most excited about the tomatoes. I love tomatoes! My mouth waters thinking about home grown tomatoes with a little salt sprinkled on top.

Trip to Texas

We spent two weeks at the beginning of this month in Texas. We had a wonderful time with my parents and sister's family. I didn't take as many photos as I should have, I had morning, or rather all day, sickness and had very little energy. Thankfully my mom and sister both can relate and were wonderful to let me relax and rest on the couch for the majority of the time. The cousins played and we just enjoyed being together. Oh how I wish we lived down the street from them and Grandma and Grandpa!

two peas in a pod. they did a great job playing together...most of the time. :)my beautiful niece. we were able to be there to celebrate her 9th birthday!

my oldest nephew is always thinking. he was always working on something, building something, reading or figuring something out. one day he is going to be famous for discovering something important I'm sure!the littlest nephew. quite a personality and such a doll. he quickly learned to stay clear of zoe and her nose tweaking habit which we are still working on breaking her of.

the car that malachi could not get enough of. the cousins were very good at sharing!we also got to see our dear friends, the ishams, who moved to texas was it 4 years ago? thanks for driving out to spend the day with us!
