my little monkey

have you ever seen those children that just quietly sit there, smile and are content to do that? i have, but i just have never gotten one of those- not even as a baby. they have all been little busy bodies and i guess i can't blame them for getting that gene from their dad! tanner has been pushing the kitchen chairs all around the house and has gotten into everything! his favorite place is where we hang up the keys.. aunt cathy found my car keys in her driveway once! needless to say we don't keep our keys there anymore. his next favorite place?? the medicine cupboard.. well he thinks it is the candy cupboard- he loves to eat the vitamins like candy! he's fallen off chairs, fallen into the sink, but does he stop- NO!! everytime i turn around he has pushed his chair somewhere else! what would i do without my little monkey?

this is when he fell into the sink! i know i am mean i took a picture of it!

scary bald man in my garden!

If you know my husband you know he is known to pull a lot of pranks and jokes. Well, every summer he likes to shave his head so this time when he shaved the first piece of it he got an idea. He shaved it just like it would look if he were going bald... don't worry it was only for a day!!


And i said i would post more of my garden so here it goes. Don't think i am bragging, i have just never had my own garden before. I really can't call it MY garden anymore because the person who does most of the work is getting mad!! Hey, he grows things for a living- of course he is better at it than me! So here is more of OUR garden:
Ryder, Kason, and I enjoyed the first cucumber the other day. I always think of my dad when i eat cucumbers, we would just take the salt shaker outside and munch on cucumbers! So that is exactly what we did!
I also used my lettuce to make my cafe rio salad last night.

I also love having our little garden because it is a great place to teach children to work!

Big Boy Bongo

No more training wheels for bongo and he is oh so proud of himself! I can't help being a little sad, they grow up way too fast! Check out my cute little garden in the background- i am oh so proud of myself for my first time garden (i'll have to post more pictures later).
