My Garden Growth

yummmm

Sage

Lavender 

Squash Zucchini

Ta da! All those green things were once just little seeds that I poured into the soil. Feels good even though it is small.

Jackson

I got to spend some one on one time with Jackson at the park. He loved the ducks so much.

Whoa... Jack pulls the creepiest faces.

So then I told him to just smile normal....this kid just can't be serious. I love that about him.

The Geese were interested in this Jackson kid. They honked a lot at him and he kicked the fence.

Here Jackson is explaining to me about ducks and baby ducks, and other life events.

and here he is thinking about life :)

What is up with this duck????!!!

Finally, I captured Jack in his essence. A happy boy who just loves to play and hang out with his mom. Sigh.

Oh, but now back to "cool kid".

The baby ducks were sooooo cute! Jack and I had so much fun together and I love to get one on one time with my boys. Their personality just shines through and it makes me feel good.

Van Gogh

For art day I taught the kids about Van Gogh. We were able to find a coloring page print out of Starry Night.

I taught the kids Van Gogh's techniques in painting and after they did it beautifully I went to peek at the garden and came back to them covering up the whole page in paint. Oh well :)

Then it was time for silly faces. Ha ha!

Happy Graduation!!!!!!!!

I am so proud of Brian for graduating. Wow, it has been such a growing experience. We could have never done it without each other. Our sweet children have been so supportive and loving to Daddy while he has been away studying and at the printers all hours of the night. Thank you Brian for valuing education and having such a positive attitude through the entire process. We love you so much and we are so excited for the next step in life!

Thank you to everyone who supported us, gave us a shoulder to laugh and cry on, and rooted for us til the end. :)

Anne is coming to visit!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for my cousin from Idaho to come with her sweet baby! We have been close friends and cousins our whole lives. My fav memories are of Summertime sleepovers. We use to fill our mouth so full of bubbletape we would be drooling. Ha ha! I love you Anne!
