Garden!!!

Ok, so I have not posted in FOREVER! I am going to cheat the dates on my next few posts, but I will do just one a day, so that it won't pile up all at once because you might miss some! Anyways, I thought I would start with something general, like our yummy garden food. 

This is a basket of food I picked....

  

And then I did this:

And here it was! YUM!:

And then there was this yummy food:

(I know we should never let the zucchini get that big, but oh well, the skin was just tough)

And then THIS:

Happy gardening!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a pretty fun 4th of July. We woke up early and walked down to the Freedom Fest Parade. It was a VERY long parade, but fun. Here they are waiting for the parade:

I made "L" boy's shirt. I just drew it onto a white onesie with fabric markers.

Our yummy end of the day dessert!

 Mostly we just spent the day at home, out of the heat. At night we let the girls do some sparklers, and then watched the Stadium fireworks from just outside of our house. They are far away, but big enough to enjoy. Happy 4th!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY "L" BOY!!!

One year ago at 6:15 AM the cutest little baby boy in the world was born! He is the sweetest cutest thing ever and I'm so glad we have been able to have him here with us and can't believe he is 1 already! Here are some pics of the day he was born:

AND NOW ONE YEAR LATER! (We couldn't pay someone to do pics this year, but I took these this morning, and I think they are SO darn cute!)

Oh, and on Sunday, we had a tiny little party with just us and my parents. He got a couple of presents and he had Applesauce cake with cream cheese frosting! We didn't really take a ton of pics we mostly took videos, but here is a couple:

Garden Food!

So, over the past month or so we have been getting tons of greens from the garden! Kind of too many to handle, really, but it has been great. I don't have nearly enough pics of it all, I may have to borrow some from Will to update this with later, but here are a few:

Broccoli

Peas when they were still blooming. We ended up getting about 10 lbs of peas!

 Here's one batch of shelled peas we had with a dinner. Yum Yum!

I also had a fresh picked salad with them:

Here is another freshly picked lettuce salad. I only wish the tomatoes were ours, but they will be in a few weeks! Can't wait! We have been using our own spinach every day in smoothies, and have tons of different lettuces we can use with practically every meal. We also have more broccoli to pick and some cabbages now too!
