For the price of vegetables today I really wanted to grow my own. SO, I got Kevin to make me a garden box. The process started a few weeks ago, but here it goes. here is the first step, getting the box made............... It sat there for a couple weeks while a weekend free made time to put dirt in it. Below is Mary helping push the dirt around.

Then it came time to get ready to plant!Mary was very excited to help plan the seeds.

And the final product! We have a bunch of tomatoes, basil, carrots, beans, zucchini, cucumber, and radish. It is a very busy garden. Hopefully a very busy growing garden.

Christmas in April

The girls had to wear a dress. I told Mary it was fine as long as it had long sleeves, for the not so warm day. So they picked matching dresses out. Christmas dresses, ok, whatever. Get more use out of them! They got some great comments from it. Everyone loved it.

T-Ball

When I was Mary's age I played T-Ball. Well now Mary is going to play. I'm so excited for this adventure. One of her friends is playing and we got Mary on the same team. We started yesterday, Monday, with our first practice. I kinda just threw her in it. She did great. Gabriella brought a glove for her to borrow until we got our own. We have a few things to work on and practice, but she's going to be great!

face painting fun

Mary really wanted her face painted and so Kevin found some old Halloween paints and went to work.

petting zoo

Last week at mary's school they had a field trip. Ok, they didn't have a real field trip, but one came to them. A petting zoo came to their school for some fun. Kevin got out of work early to come join the fun with her. Htey had bunnies, chickens, goats, and pony rides. Mary had a blast

Weekend Get Away

Last weekend we got a little family get away to go down and see Sal and Stephy. The kids love seeing their Uncle Sal.

We always enjoy our visits. Stephy is about 4 months pregnant with their first child. She is actually due about 5 days after my sister. It's fun to watch their bellies grow together. The girls love their doggies, Holly and Ollie. Below is Ollie. Fun Fun weekend, as always.

Fun With Cousin Kiah

We have been having some fun with our little cousin Kiah. She lives in New Mexico and is out visiting. She is 7 months older than Teresa so the three of them play together really well.

We had a cousin day and met Aunt Linda and Kiah at the mall for some fun.

Mary was being a model and posed for us. Teresa did not want to be in the picture.

But she would sit with Mary while we had a pretzel break.

We all got to ride the carousel.

Teresa did not want to sit on an animal, just on the bench.

The girls were having so much fun holding hands and running around together.

We went to Color Me Mine and they got to paint something. Kiah painted a dog and both Mary and Teresa painted cats.
