The great outdoors(aka our yard)!

This is our back garden. We planted potatoes, onions, peppers carrots, green onions and lettuce.

This is our side garden. Here we have tomatoes, beats, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, peas, beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, and corn. (I am sure that I forgot something) We are so pleased with the progress of the gardens. Cody and I often go out and walk around the yard to look at the new growth. We also planted four fruit trees this spring, and three of them have fruit growing. We planted watermelon, pumpkin, rhubarb, and artichoke along the back fence. The strawberries that we planted last year have grown at least 5 times their original size. I think that next to being a wife and mother, gardening is one of the most fulfilling things that I have done.

I keep thinking that Dallin will grow out of the "fall asleep anywhere" stage. Well he is 6 1/2 now, and this is how he drifted off last night.

This is Brynn's favorite spot in the house. She is standing on a chair, looking out the kitchen window, watching the other kids play. It is kind of sad, but I don't want her outside without me, and I can not be out there all day. At least she does not cry, she just watches and yells "hi" or"Dad"!
