Gardening...round one

While not everything went as according to plan in last year's garden, the family really enjoyed the literal fruits (and vegetables) of our labor. We're adding a few new crops and have cleared out some space for what is hopefully a successful yield of food. The girls really enjoyed gardening, too.

This year we decided to buy three Topsy Turvy planters - two for strawberries and one for a tomato plant. We bought 36 strawberry starts, and one tomato plant, so we'll see what happens.

Cutest gardeners in Kittitas.


Adding the tomato plant to the planter before putting in soil enriched with Candadian Pete Moss. Yeah, we researched it.

Finished products! We'll see how well they produce!

Chad totally wants one of those topsy thingies for tomatoes. But I said I didn't want to get stuck with tomatoes for an entire year while he was deployed. So maybe next year!

We plan on sharing anything we can't eat ourselves. I also plan on throwing them at a few stray cats. - JON

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four!

My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

Image
...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

Quarterly update from KTown

Image
Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten
