How does your garden grow?

Last year our garden sucked.  It was such a hot summer...I think the heat had a lot to do with it.  I spent so much money on plants last year I was a little nervous to plant again.

The good news is our plants are actually growing and none of them have died....yet.

We even planted a few rows of corn.

Last year we planted some strawberries plants.

I got to pick my first one and eat it.  I love home grown strawberries.  They are so sweet.

We even has some peaches growing on our tree.  I am so excited for a home grown peach in a couple months and a peach pie...and more smoothies.  

We got a funny surprise this morning.  The girls found a miniature egg in the coop.  The thing is, the baby chickens don't start laying until they are about 6 months old...ours are maybe 4 months at the oldest.  They are too little to be laying.  We don't know who it was but it will be fun to watch and see if we get another.

Look who turned 10

Dacia is now a decade old.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like not too long ago that I was in the hospital just having her (look how young I look)  It's amazing how fast 10 years has gone by.

She is so beautiful and so smart.  We are so lucky to have this amazing girl in our family.

This crazy girl is in love with zebra print right now.  So you can guess that she got a lot of it for her birthday...in the form of clothing, pillow, pens, flip flops, towel and many more zebra print items.  

She even got her first caboodle...actually she got 2 of the same one.  Her Aunt and I think alike on presents (we both bought her the same shirt a few years ago).  So now she can put her earrings in one and her lips gloss and nail stuff in the other.

even the inside of her cake was zebra print.

It was a great day!  

Actually a great two days!  

We celebrated with everyone over for Sunday dinner, the day before her birthday.

On her real birthday we went out to dinner to Coasta Vida and Coldstone ice cream just our family.

Summer of Swimming

I kinda decided last minute to sign the girls up for swim lessons...and when I went in to pay for the session I kinda decided to sign them up for a couple more.  So the girls will have 3 sessions of swim lessons this Summer.  Which means the older two girls will get through three levels and little Miss Brylee will just end up doing three sessions of the Preschool level.

They LOVE swimming!

We have 4 more days this week and we are done with this session.  I couldn't have done it without help from my Mom.  She has been picking the girls up and taking them on the days I work. 

They are having so much fun!

another tooth gone

Sunday morning Brylee woke up as usually, she walked into our room, I told her good morning but what happened next is a bit out of the ordinary.  She stood next to my bed and stuck out her tongue.  Her loose tooth fell out in her sleep and she showed it to me.  She is now missing 3 teeth on the top.  It's funny watching her eat apples.
