The ZOO!!

I love shots from the back and this one where they are holding hands is just precious. They were walking toward the carousel for a ride after playing in the playground at the zoo.




D and W "rididng" the warthog.

My boys (minus Ian) relaxing at lions.

This is W. in his Applacian Uprising shirt from Melani. He LOVES the musical birthday cards I got for my birthday. He can play with them endlessly.

I just like this picture:-)

Here's my front garden as or July 1. My house has much more curb appeal now. Thanks Sarah for the donation of lilies and hostas.

This is one of the beautiful lilies that bloomed the other day. When I went back outside the very next day the blossom was GONE! I am so excited that I got a great picture of it.

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday Todd worked at Cafe Brioso. W. and I spent the day gardening. We weeded the front garden and planted the begonias I purchased from a school fundraiser.

Sunday we attended church then hit Oakland Nursery to pick up the rest of my vegetables and herbs. I got 3 Beefsteak tomatoes, yellow, red and jalepeno peppers, 3 burpless cucumbers, Italian and curly parsley, rosemary, and basil. These plants are in addition to the sugar snap peas, watemelon, canteloupe, zucchini, Roma tomatoes, and tomatillos that are already in the ground.

Today we played outside again and went to the grocery store. On the way home, about 1:00, W. stated matter-0f-factly that he was not going to take a nap and then proceded to fall asleep in the car about 10 minutes later. After W.'s nap we went to the community open house at the newly remodeled Lincoln Theater. The place is state-of-the-art! I hope to see a show there someday. At the end of the day we had ice cream cones on our front porch.

I hope your weekend was enjoyable too!

Empty gardens and W's growth chart.

This is the backyard vegetable and herb garden.




This is going to be a flower garden...oh the possibilities.


This growth chart was made by W's Aunt and Uncle for his first birthday. We still have yet to attach it to a wall but we do like checking his height about every 2 months.
