Playin' in the kiddie pool

We were at Wal-mart a few weeks ago
the kids saw the little kiddie pool
Morgan and Owen begged for it
I figured that it was cheap
the lady only charged me $10 but I think that she was supposed to charge me more...
and it would be great for the summer
the next day their new swimming suits arrived
they had to try out the new pool!

Seriously Morgan is so freakishly strong!

I love the look on Reagan's face

it says,

"I think that we are up to no good!"

Bailey helped Reagan

until she got the hang of jumping in the poolReagan go pretty cold

really fast!Even Dory played outside!

She really didn't want to get wet

but she enjoyed watching the kids! We are so ready for summer

especially after the last week of storms we have had!

My Garden

I cannot believe how much of a difference 10 days make

I love having my very own little garden

I feel so productive

with very little effort

everyday I go outside

I always see something new

a new leaf

a new bud

new fruit

the only thing I hate is the new weeds

but hopefully over time the weeds won't be as bad...

one can hope right?

the above picure was taken on the 1st

the one below was taken on the 10th

the tomatoes on top were on the first

the tomatoes below were taken on the tenth

top strawberries on the first

bottom strawberries on the tenth

top first

bottom tenth

top first

bottom tenth

I think you are getting the idea...

and last but not least are my saskatoon blueberries

I didn't take any pictures on the first

because they were still just sticks!

I am so happy with my garden

I can't wait until I get to pick

fresh fruits and vegtables

from my very own garden

Morgan's 7th birthday

Morgan turned the big seven today!

I can't believe how fast the time has gone.

She had quite the rough start

but she was born with the spunk to get her through it!

She brings life into our home

she is a girl of a million faces

shes a great cleaner

she has been cleaning the bathroom since we moved here

and she does a pretty good job too

she also loves to organize

she organizes her dresser

the bathroom counter

the computer desk

she even helped her teacher organize papers at school!

we are thankful for her spunk and attitude

she really is a great addition to our family!

Here she is

first thing in the morning

bedhair and everything

she was trying to smile through a yawn

Bailey and I decided to play a little trick

she knew she was getting new shoes

so we decided to make a treasure hunt

when she opened the shoes

she thought she was done

until we pointed out to her that there was a hint

"To find present number two

go somewhere that there are things to chew"

She caught on to the game quickly
she ran to the pantry
and searched it for her next present
she opened it

it was gum from Bailey
on it was a hint
"To find the present that’s numbered three
Now go to a place where colors might be"


she immediatly ran to the computer desk
where we keep all the crayons and such
she found present number three
which was her very own colored pencils
on it was a hint
"Now to help you find present number four
Don’t you dare look at the floor"

She threw her head up in the air

and ran through out the house

she found it taped to the ceiling

by the laundry room

in it was an mp3 player

and a hint

"Just one last present you need to find
Go somewhere that has things to ride"

She ran outside

stopping for a half a second to put on her shoes

but it was taking too long

so she ran out side barefoot

to the bike rack

and there she found her new bike!

I wish that I was on the other side of the bike

so that I could have captured her whole expression

it was priceless

she has wanted a new bike

for her whole life

she has always had "hand-me-down" bikes

and now she has a brandnew

clean tires

never been ridden

bike!

She got on it right away

and took it for a spin

she is in love!

I am so happy that we did a treasure hunt for her

she said afterward

that she thought that she only got the shoes

but she said she liked doing the hunt!

Happy Birthday my Muggies

We love you!
