Our Garden

Aidan has been my motivation to plant our garden this year. He asks me every 5 seconds, "Can we plant the seeds yet??" He actually helped me weed the garden and did a good job planting seeds! And he told me I'm a great mama, so he gets the prize for nicest son today! :)
I forgot to take a 'before' picture, but here is the garden about 90% finished. We filled the wheel barrow to the top with weeds. Mint is a huge pain to pull up!!
And here is our freshly planted garden! I used seeds from a few years back, so here's hoping they grow! :) Notice the flowers already blooming on the far end? Beccah planted those last fall and they have been in bloom all winter. Weird little plants! But at least we have color in the garden.
Next we're going to plant herbs in our containers and try to remember to water them all summer. hehe

First Sunshine of the Year

We spent the day outside doing yard work. Well, I did. The kids found lots of interesting things to get into. Aidan and Beccah made bug habitats for their pet slugs and rolli-polli bugs.
Rohnan was very interested in the BBQ.
Sasha just enjoyed the company outside.

Volksmarch last year

I was looking through older photos for a scrap booking project Beccah will be doing for Girl Scouts and I found this one. I didn't know I had a recent picture of my entire family! And it's even in a nice setting. I really miss Everett's curls.
They might not all be looking at the camera, but boy does this capture their personalities! hehe

Dinner Tonight

Eggplant Tian served with home made french bread. Next time I'll use regular eggplant instead of the chinese variety. It would have come out prettier in this mold. :)

Beccah Tae Kwon Do

Beccah recently got her yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do! She's very proud!

Everett

I love Everett. I love letting him pick out his own clothes and shoes even more! He likes Beccah's heels:
