Brought to you by Justus~

This year we have a fairly big garden. The things we are attempting to grow are snow peas, spinach, watermelon, cantelope, lettuce, squash, zucccini, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans & corn. The snow peas are the only thing we've never grown. We also planted a couple of blueberry bushes. And I want to try eggplant too.

My dad and brothers are really the ones who do all the work. So when I say 'we' did something it's them I am referring to. Some of the plants haven't really made a lot of progress yet but Justus took a few pictures anyways.

Oh yeah-broccoli too. Heres the broccoli plants.

Twelve Weeks~

Yesterday Malachi rolled over for the first time! Sam and i were both there. So special since usually only one parent is there for the firsts. No more walking away from baby! He is oohing and aahing. And watching me when I walk away. Sleeping through the night most of the time in 7 hour stretches. NICE!!! And he is 12 weeks today. It's getting a little easier every day.

Check out a few pics from his photo session with daddy:

My Little Monkey~

Hi all. I know that SOOOOOOOO many people read this so I thought I'd update. We had lunch today with Josh & Aubrey and Chris and Staci and all of our kids. The kids did pretty good but I made the mistake of giving the boys ice cream and payed for it the entire time at walmart. Zeke was a holy terror!!!!

Baby Malachi as the boys call him is doing well. And starting to sleep through the night. I am getting more nervous about Justus starting school. He of course is more excited all the time!!!!

I bought a new keyboard on ebay that is really cool. It rolls up and can be washed and spilled on and still survive. It's also good for sandstorms. Strange huh?? We've been through several keyboards in the past few months and so for $10 bucks I thought we'd give this a try.

Loading some pictures soon.

Zeke makes me laugh SOOOOO much. Tonight it saved him from a spanking! He claimed to be hungry so I gave him a banana for a snack. When I walked through the room he was squishing his hands together. Yep, it was the banana all smashed up like baby food. It wasn't only on his hands but on his feet & the bed also. He acted shy which is his way of dodging a bullet. It worked. I tried not to laugh but he got the smirk on his little round face that simply cracks me up! He is a rascal!!! I took pictures but can't get them on the computer still.

May already???

Geez! Well summer is fast approaching. And it's May already. WOW. Seriously my head is spinning. Zeke turns three this summer. And Justus starts school in the fall. Pausing for a sentimental sigh. OK-enough of that.

Yesterday we went to the zoo. Our original plans were for us to go together with Chris and Staci a few weeks ago. Since that didn't work out we waited a little longer. We had the perfect day. Warm with a cool breeze.

Our computer is still down so I don't have any pictures to share with you. Maybe eventually. The boys had a good time & tried their best to drive us crazy & came very close. Justus wanted to ride in the stroller & zeke wanted to walk. That's just the opposite of how it needed to be.

But like I was saying it was a great day all in all. At the very end we finally go to see the giraffes who were hiding the first time we came by. Five came out at one time. It was like a little parade. They just kept coming. Next time we will start in North America because we only made it through Africa this time.

This month I turn 30----OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The joys of growing up!
