My beautiful (little) garden...

Isn't it pretty??? I have had so much fun this year planting my little garden. My mom and I read this book called square foot gardening and thought we would give it a try. It has been so easy because this system is so low maintenance - no weeds!!!! Anyway, we have tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes (which we already have been enjoying), strawberries (which the birds are enjoying), green peppers, pumpkins, melons, jalapenos, carrots, and beets. I am also trying melons but they are not doing so hot. I just had to show it off a little because I am so excited that things are actually growing! I think next year we will do two of these boxes.

Last day of soccer

We are officially finished with sports for the summer!! YAY!!! It was fun to watch everyone and Kate did awesome her last game. She was so proud of that little trophy that she kept asking me to take more pictures so she could remember it. Anyway, her little "Green Machines" team did a great job - but Kate did inform me that she was "Done with that" and was ready to go back to dance.

Day at the zoo with Grandma Bonnie..

A couple of weeks ago my babysitter called in sick so I got to spend a day with the kids at the Zoo. We had so much fun!! Grandma Bonnie took some time off and walked around with us and really had such a nice time. We brought our own lunch and had a picnic. The weather was perfect and it was not overly crowded. Really - it was just a perfect day!!

This egg made her a little nervous - as you can see by her worried little face. I could not get her to look at the camera really - the whole time we were there!!

Hehe!! (smile) - need I say more! (Bad mom - I know)

The classic Zoo picture - come on, we all have one. Kate was the only one who I could get to stick her head in the Lion's mouth.

My 3 Sweeties!! Again, Mattie is otherwise occupied!

And there is grandma with her grandkids - cute picture!!
