Gardening

This year, since we're moving mid-sunmer, we didn't plant a big garden.  I was just going to do herbs but Owen had to have one tomato plant and wanted to try and grow carrots this year.  He can't wait so every now and then we pull up one to see how they are growing.  This is what it's looking like these days.  He actually ate them and said they were delicious!  Hopefully they'll grow a lot in the next 2 1/2 weeks before we leave!  I love that O loves to garden!

Blueberry Pie & Whittling

For one of Parker's Bear Scout requirements, he had to help make a dessert for his family.  We made this blueberry pie.  He did a great job, it was really yummy.  (Notice O in the back with nothing but his underwear!  The kids were in their pjs when I took this pic.  This is Owen's new thing to sleep in only his undies.)

 He also had to whittle.  He whittled this mini bat/ mini paddle.

Parker loves scouts and loves to work on it.  Scott tries to help work on his requirements on Sunday afternoons.

Addie's Cheeks!

Why is it that little girls never notice that their swimsuits are up their bum?  You'd think it would bother them but it doesn't seem to.  I love seeing Addie's little cheeks hanging out of her suit - so cute.

Girl Time

Since the boys were at Reds Camp and Addie was at a one day camp at Lifetime I decided to treat myself to a pedicure.  Lisa and her girls, Gabby and Olivia, joined me and then I picked up Addie and we went out for a girls only lunch.

I'm going to miss Lisa so much.  She is one of the nicest people I've ever met.  I don't know what I would have done these past two years without her!  These pics are a little blurry but I don't really have a lot of me with Lisa so I'm posting them anyways.

Tough Day at the Field

I LOVE to watch the boys play baseball.  This year they are on the same team and Scott's the coach.  It's so great.  They are so cute in their uniforms and their eye black.  This day was pretty hot so the eye black ended up everywhere but I love it.

Scott is just in heaven.  He says if he could support our family by being a little league coach, that's what he would want to do.  I love watching Scott and the boys on the field and little Addie is such a trooper to get dragged along all the time.  She never complains, maybe it's because she always gets a team snack at the end of the game!

This has been a crazy season though.  We've had so much rain so lots of games have been cancelled and are being rescheduled.  Today I heard on the news that this month we've had rain on 22 days out of 27 - crazy!!
