Quote for the week by One Of The Kids!

Lately we've been learning about animals. Elyse pointed this out about Matthew...

" He's NOT an insect... he's a mammal!"

Enough Said

Our 2011 vegetable and strawberry garden =)

I always get confused. Do you plant on the bump or in the channel when you make rows. To say the least we got about half way and had to move the plants to higher ground.

We planted strawberries, tomatillos, tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, cherry tomatoes, and yellow squash. I hope to add more but, if I don't it's enough to keep the kids busy.

The kids and I had so much fun planting and being resourceful...=) Michael and Cameron made my tomato plant trellises out of our own tree branches. I really liked them.

We have a sidewalk!!!

We have a walkway now and actually there is a flower bed now too.

It has been a lot of fun working on it.

Matthew didn't quite like the feel of that cold cement on his little feet but, that is the price to pay when you have a sentimental mother....=)

Matthew is being so funny!

He was so excited we weren't sure if he was going to cry or laugh!

Changing too fast!!!

This is for you Gramma Ceci!

At your request I have posted more pictures of Matthew.

Matthew is soooo......

Precious.......

Oh, I've said that before! Can't help it thou. Just look at him!

The V's of Texas!

I am so blessed!

Matthew is 3 months!

Time seems to be picking up speed!

Soooo Precious.

The best taken care of baby =)

He smiles so much now. We love him so much.

He has got such a contagious smile!

"Hi everyone! I really want to see what this is all about!"

This is after the sing yesterday. Michael, Cameron and Jeremy with Eric's help built themselves a shelter and a warm fire and spent the night under the stars.

I don't think either Eric or I slept much, we kept checking on them to make sure everything stayed under control. Notice Michael in his green sleeping bag on the edge of the shelter.

Sometime in the early morning the dog decided that the back of the tent looked like a good place to curl up. She sat on Michael's head and almost collapsed their shelter. Dumb dog!=)
