Signs of Life

Here are the latest pictures of my veggie garden. So far I have two kinds of lettuce, carrots, bush beans, marigolds and a geranium.




It's going really well so far, this square foot method is so easy! I just water every couple of days, which takes about 2 minutes since it's such a small amount of space. I've pulled exactly 3 weeds - the seeds blew in from our maple tree.

Happy Birthday Sawyer!

Sawyer turned one today! I can't believe he is a year old. It sounds so cliché, but it really has gone by so fast. My dad was in town so he and Grandy came over for cake. Sawyer had a great time mashing his piece into a paste and then throwing it on the floor. I'm not sure if any made it into his mouth, but it was definitely on his face!

Congratulations Mom and Erin!

Last week Sawyer and I went out to Utah to celebrate the graduation of my mom and my sister Erin from BYU. Erin graduated in English and is planning to move to the DC area soon, so you know what that means - instant babysitter! My mom had to drop out when she got pregnant with me, and so now almost 30 years later she finally had the chance to go back and finish. She is now a college grad with a degree in Family History. I am so proud of her! Here are some pictures from our stay.

The graduates with me, Sawyer, Tanne, Caroline and Megan.


The two water babies. Sawyer and Caroline both love their baths!


On this trip we discovered that Sawyer loves dogs - even 75 lb. Jack, who has huge teeth! Luckily there isn't a sweeter dog in the world and he put up with Sawyer's abuse without complaint.

The two cousins with Erin and Megan. Sawyer better grow, Caroline is catching him up!
