Our Garden Tour

This is our corn patch.


See those little green shoots...that's our corn!!


This is our bean and tomato patch.



See those little green sprouts...those are our beans!!

This patch has a little bit of everything...from left to right we have two bell pepper plants, spinach, and romaine. Row 2 is snow peas...Row three is green beans...and row 4 is tomatoes.


This patch contains cucumber plants, green beans, and tomato plants.
See our cucumber plants grow?!?

...and this beauty is our cilantro!!

Matthew put in a lot of hard work...he made all of the boxes...mixed and filled all of the dirt and then made all of the chicken wire protectors to keep the "critters" out...then Isaac and I planted. We are so grateful that everything is actually coming up. This is our first garden as adults...so help us keep our fingers crossed...We are looking forward to a plentiful harvest!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMMY!!!





Sammy and Ella...Best Friends!!


Good Morning...Great PaPa!!

Sammy's first experience with grass...He's afraid to put his foot down.

But that didn't last long...this is his second experience!!
Sammy's favorite past time...talking on the phone.
Practice makes perfect!!
