The Grandkiddos Garden

While we were visiting Joey's parents, the grandkids got to plant a garden of all kinds of veggies and even some flowers. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon family activity and everyone enjoyed being outside together planting away.

First things first, gardening gloves.

Second, smiles :)

Tata and Shelby lead the way

Beautiful Aubrey and a beautiful daisy

Cali being a big helper, straining a little even:) Those plants can be pretty heavy! :)

Gettin down to the nitty gritty

Cali loves roly polies

Joe and Joey taking a break

An adorable smile, someones having fun!

Kai and Aub, buds.

Phew, that was hard work. Gotta chill and drink some lemonade.

Doggies pose for a picture. It only took about 20 shots before I finally got one with both faces looking at me:)

And just a reeeeeally cute picture of Ella with Shelby

Can't wait to see what the garden brings when we visit again!

the duchess said...: What a great family activity. I have wonderful memories of summers with my Great-Grandparents harvesting cantaloupe, peas, zucchini, and tomatoes. In fact, my friend just gave me a blackberry bush starter that I'm going to plant tomorrow as my first endeavor for the year.; 4/3/10, 2:52 AM

I hope that you will get to go back and let the kids pick the veggies and flowers they planted. What a fun garden.

I have been thinking of you. Have you had your sonagram yet? I am anxiously waiting for the news... so .... after you tell family you HAVE TO TELL ME NEXT.

Happy Easter.... hugs, Lura; 4/4/10, 7:37 PM

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
