Spring Vegetables

I am so excited! This is the first year that I have grown early spring vegetables! Taylor came with me to the garden store to pick everything out, he was more excited than I was. He was telling everyone in the store that we are getting vegetable plants (to Taylor, we were the only people in the store buying plants!!) When we got home, Corbin and Taylor helped me put the seeds and plants in the garden. It was so fun, except for every two seconds I had to tell them - "don't touch that" "wait a second" "NO, don't step over there" "don't dump all the seeds in one place!" Now, I just hope it is not too cold for them, because in two months I want to enjoy Broccoli, Lettuce, Cabbage, snow peas, sugar snap peas, beets, and spinach!! BTW - I heard that vegetable seeds and plants are selling more than ever before - I wonder why?!
Has anyone ever tried growing any of these veggies? What was your outcome?


After planting the garden, we noticed our poor, little grill sitting there all winter, being neglected, sitting in the snow, with no delicous food to enjoy. We thought we would cheer it up with some steak!
Now, personally, I am not a big steak fan, but Justin did a great job with these and I am finding I like steak more and more the longer I am married to Justin! But you don't have to convince the boys to take a bite, they come running at the smell.

"I Forgot to Tell you"

The saddest words to here in the middle of the night.

Last night I was sound asleep and in my dream I could here a faint little voice saying, "I forgot to tell you". I kept hearing it over and over, all of a sudden I realized that it wasn't in my dream, it was a poor little boy crying and saying over and over, "I forgot to tell you, I forgot to tell you" I got up to see what was the matter. Taylor happened to be sleeping in the top bunk last night, and in his sad, crying, drawn out voice he said, I went potty and I forgot to tell you. It broke my heart. Any other time I would probably be a bit annoyed to have to get up in the middle of the night and clean it up, but this night was different. I felt terrible that he was so sad.
We have been so proud of Taylor, he has not had any accidents for a couple of weeks, and he has been sleeping in underwear for about 1 1/2 months and this is the first time he has had an accident during the night. Way to go for being such a big boy!!
Talor loves for me to take pictures of he and Levi. Levi is such a good sport!

School for kids

The last month we have been doing a school for Corbin and Taylor. It has been so much fun and they have been learning lots and most importantly they are having a blast with their friends. Today just happened to be a day that I had all of them at the same time and all of them were SO good! Corbin and Brooklyn learned about wind (perfect for today!) and Taylor and his two friends learned about the letter C. We were talking about things that start with C. The camera was one of the items and so of course I had to get a picture of them...I just couldn't believe that the only two pictures I took turned out so cute and they were ALL smiling!

Does Taylor look happy, or what!!?? These girls are so so cute!

I promise the boys do have clothes! It's just Taylor wants to wear Superman EVERYDAY and well, Corbin, he eventually put a shirt on.

I just can't help but post some adorable pictures of this adorable boy!!! Levi is such a fun guy and at such a fun age! He has been sitting up and rolling over and eating lots of food! The moment he wakes up, he is in search for his brothers and ready to play and smile!
