Can you name that tune?

Isn't this the soundtrack going through your head as you are hiking through the Rockies?

Love our little guy and the big brother that taught him.

Signs of Summer

A few pics to share of the handsome little fellas in my life.  We are having a great summer, hope you are too!

 He is measuring how tall his corn is getting.  He is very proud of his corn.

Here is one of our garden plots, and I am very proud of how it is doing!

Noah: Tee Ball

Today was the first day of the first season of what MIGHT become many more seasons of ball.  It was a little crazy for the first day and four fields of 4&5 year olds playing ball but it was fun and I was excited to see my son involved....if I can even use the word 'involved' when talking about 4 year olds waiting for a teammate to hit, waiting for the ball to come their way or waiting to run to the next base while a crowd of parents and grandparents watch trying to yell directions.

But when all was done for this Saturday morning of tee ball I asked Noah if he had fun, he without hesitation responded, 'YES!'  So I the parent who kind of stepped in and made myself the 1st base coach didn't ruin it for him and he had fun even though he walked off the field to Grandma saying that he needed a drink and then when he got back to the field to sit down at short stop.  It was cute and it really wasn't that big of a deal to anyone (the ball never got hit that far anyway).

One Step At A Time

He is getting more and more confident every day.  Trust me I will let you know when he starts running, then we will really be in for it!

Gardening

Some of you may have seen my facebook and saw that I (we) are attempting a garden this year.  I remember my parents gardening when we were younger and my mom can bring almost any plant that has been in my home back to life and David's parents have a beautiful garden every year.  I do not have a green thumb but I am thinking/hoping/wishing there has to be some green in me somewhere because I have not given up hope yet! 

I love the idea of gardening and we love to visit the farmers market every week.  We have canned tomatoes and apples the last couple of years and try very hard to keep fresh fruits and veggies on our table.

So this summer we joined a community garden with some friends and Noah and I headed to Bomgaars to fill up our cart and came out with some:
cherry tomato plant (my must)
green pepper plant (David's request)
zucchini plant
onion plants
sweet corn seed (Noah's request)

David's mom gave us some of her leftovers:
jalapeno plant
'Better Boy' tomato plant
carrot seeds
spinach seeds

Then recruited some experienced gardeners (Grandma Carolyn and Bucko) to help plant our seeds and plants.  We had a great time gardening now we just need to keep watering and hope that something, out of all that, grows!!

 

A New Mode of Travel

Well we are not up on two feet and walking upright yet but we have a new way of getting from point A to point B when on not so 'nice' surfaces.  Check us out.
