Things that are growing

Just wanted to show off a few things that are growing at our house...

Jul's is 7 months now! She's not really crawling...yet. She's really good at the stink bug thing though. Here daddy calls her "Ju Ju Bug" now that she's getting around a bit.

Todd and I both think she's the cutest baby girl ever!

My garden is blooming this year. The squash are taking over! I'm still so sad that my tomatoes didn't make it this year. I'm going to have to bum off someone else to keep me happy.

This years garden consists of crookneck, zucchini and butternut squash, tomato's (only 2 out of 10 plants are still alive), cucumbers (most of them pickling cucumbers), yellow peppers and watermelon.
It's really small compared to my other plants but that lighter green plant is my watermelon plant. I hope we get something to grow on it this year!

Have you ever seen such pokey cucumbers? I sure hope they make good pickles!

Todd and I love having these little babies in our scrambled eggs--Delicious!

I decided to make zucchini bread out of our first zucchini....now I'm giving away as much of it as I can....if you want some, let me know!

We had our first taste of yellow squash last night. mmmm was it good! Payton even liked it!

Of course the boys are growing too but they didn't make the post this time...what a bummer! (Speaking of bummer, Todd and I are growing too but not in an attractive way. The gut and the butt issues around here have got to go!)

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as Julia's enjoying this melon!

A Few of My Favorite Things

It's summertime and there are a few things that I really like about summer. I had to take a few pic's because I think they are so neat.

Roses in bloom...

Grapes that will soon be on the vine...
Racing the birds for the Cherries on the tree... My garden...see the melons I didn't even plant this year? They were from my garden last year. I guess it was alright that one of them rotted on the vine last year so I could have melons this year with out the effort. Just squash (yellow crook neck and zuchinni) and tomatoes this year...

Here's my tomatoes. I finally have a couple on the vine--YEAH!And last but not least...

Popcicles on the porch!!

Of course there is the summer full of swimming fun but I haven't dared take the camera to the pool...yet. That will be a blog for another day!
