Happenings as of late.

I know I haven't posted in a while, but it's summer and we're busy:) Dan was in Europe for a couple of weeks on business and so while he was out of the country the kids and I went to my parents house in Virginia. We had a blast and we were able to see everyone except Bob and Emily and we even got to meet Blake's new fiance, Stacia, who was wonderful. Savannah could not get enough of her and when we got home kept telling Dan how good she is at playing and building:) She'll fit in great though, very easy going and has a good sense of humor. Here are a few pictures from there, they are from my Dad because Dan had the camera with him, and then a few extra pictures of my adorable kids:)

This is Jack's favorite place to go, his little car:) He is such a boy.

My Dad bought a sprinkler thing that shot out balls, so of course Jack fell in love with it. It was so nice to cool off that way, and we played water whiffle ball with it too, it was fun.

And yes he found mud.

We also went to Jamestown and saw the sights there.

I also thought that I would update pictures of my garden, which has been growing so well. The funny thing is that I let Savannah plant some Marigold seeds because I had a few extra spaces and now they are overtaking the garden. They are on steroids or something. But she loves them and I have some room because summer is not the best growing season here.

Here is my tomatoes, corn,onions and chives. My corn I just planted a couple of weeks ago, but I see some hair coming out of one of the stalks! We'll see how it does.

Here is my watermelon and cantaloupe, which did well for awhile and then the heat got to them and they have dwindled fast.

Here is my broccoli, carrots and squash. The broccoli and squash are still growing, but we have picked some of the carrots and they are so sweet and good!

Here's Savannah's crazy marigolds:)

And here are our poor peppers getting squashed by the marigolds. We've had some good peppers too.

The fruits of our labors.

We'll have more posts to come:)
