Tomatoes and Green Peppers

We have decided to plant a garden this year. Doug's grandfather is a very good gardener and he encouraged us to try one this year. So we did and we have 12 green pepper plants and 12 tomato plants. I hope they last long so we can enjoy them! I can't wait for some delicious tomatoes. I don't care for green peppers. If the garden works and lasts all summer, then I guess we will be trying to grow more next year. Doug's dad has already requested some more plants for us to plant. So I guess it will be a garden for everyone!

Here are a few pictures of our garden!

HAPPY GARDENING!!!!

Red-Neck Swimming Pool

Since I will be here in 3 weeks, soaking up the beautiful sun in Destin, FL I decided to get some sun before I go and not get burnt while I'm there.

I invested in what Doug likes to call "a red-neck swimming pool." So let me introduce to you my inflatable swimming pool.

Since I don't have a real swimming pool and Doug will not invest in one in our HUGE backyard, I decided to buy a $13 inflatable swimming pool. Yes, I'm a dork but hey it's summer and why not?!?

I laid out today and this is what Ellie Mae did to me while I was out there.  

I guess she was embarrassed of my inflatable swimming pool. I just like to think that it was the fact that it was 90 degrees outside and she was directly underneath the fan. Oh well! I guess I have embarrassed my dog and my husband!

So cheers to a GREAT SUMMER!

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a great Mother's Day weekend! Nic, Kim, Ross, and Kalyn made a suprise trip in and we grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs on Saturday at our house. Ross wanted to play baseball all day and the weather was so perfect for it! We stayed outside all day and had a great visit. On Sunday, we ate lunch with my family and went to the GumTree festival, an annual tradition with us. All in all it was a great weekend. I forgot my camera on Sunday so no pictures from that. Here are a few pictures from Saturday's baseball day!

Kalyn got a hold of some oreos and LOVED them!

Ross would run away from it!

Hilarious!

My cutest baseball player I know!

Catching the ball

Ross got dirt in between his toes and it bothered him

so we had to get them cleaned before we played again

Licking the dirt out between his toes!
