Garden Planted!

Lydia and Evan

With a great looking forecast including some rain this weekend Brad Edwards told me tonight was the time to plant my vegetable garden.  My daughter, Lydia and I had some help.  Our good friends Sarah Behrens Brummer and her son Evan helped us do the digging, planting and watering.  Tonight we planted various tomato plants, okra, squash, beans, cilantro and peppers.  And a big thanks to Brad for one of our tomato plants that he grew at his house. I was super excited to find organic plant food!  We are hoping for a great harvest in the weeks to come.

Birthday Fun!

 Lydia LOVED spinning the birthday wheel, I think that's when it clicked that the day was for her! (above)

My baby girl Lydia turned TWO on April 14th!  We had a big birthday party for her at Incredible Pizza.  We had eleven kids and twenty-seven adults, its good for the adults to outnumber the kids, especially at birthday parties.  It was a blast and the birthday girl sure had a good time. 

What was exciting for me was ALL of my brothers and sisters came throughout the week and stayed the weekend to celebrate.  We all haven't all been together in maybe six years.  So my parents, two brothers, three sisters, all significant others and children were here in town.  We had a so much fun playing games and talking! 
We seized the opportunity and took some long overdue family photos.  Reporter Jessica Daley did a great job snapping them for us!  Thanks Jessica! 
Being around family just makes me one happy camper!
