VeggieTales

 Alternately Titled - LIKE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO TONIGHT EXCEPT TAKE PICTURES OF VEGETABLES!!!!

We started out with high excitement and low expectations.

Here are the first fruits (so to speak) of our labors.

I couldn't be more pleased.

I really don't think we're good enough at this yet to be self-sustaining, but hey, it's a start!!

We enjoyed a dinner tonight which included lettuce salad, cooked peas and baby carrots (all of which were eaten before the impromptu photo shoot tonight) from our own garden.

Our tennant at the farm grew the cabbage in his garden....he was just nice enough to share.

I included the cabbage in my picture so as not to make it feel left out.

OK, OK, I know I'm a little weird to be taking pictures of my veggies at midnight when I really need to be working, but I have to admit I have as much fun (or more) taking the pictures as I do growing the garden!

Yes, I'm weird like that.

YEAH!  Now for the corn....that's what I'm really looking forward to eating!

We had a really nice Father's Day.  After church, we loaded up and went to the farm.  The kids mowed and played while I worked in the garden and David worked in the orchard and on the pasture fence.

We came home tired and dirty but happy just the same.

Love that place!!!!

Happy Belated Father's Day to the three or four dads that I know read this.

I love you all!

I love you so much I'll even share my veggies with you if you come visit......

deal??

A Look Back

Tomorrow I am going to have their picture taken again.....

only when I look back at things like these

do I realize how fast time really does pass by.

I think they were two years old when these were taken......can't keep track of them all anymore!!

Have a good day!!

kids at camp

1 Peter 3:21

and this water

symbolizes

baptism

that now saves

you also

not the removal of dirt

from the body

but

the pledge

of a good conscience

toward God.

It saves you

by the resurrection

of Jesus Christ

 

And a new adventure begins for them.....

the innocence of youth!!

Grace went to a birthday party at a kids' party place called Kazoing the other day.  The mothers who stayed to help with the party were all laughing when I went to pick Grace up.

The party was a dress up party. 

The costumes were all provided and the girls could pick what they wanted to wear.  They got their hair and nails and make-up done.

(don't get me started on making little girls grow up too fast!!)

Once they were all made up, they played music and had a runway the girls could walk on.  They got to put on a "fashion show".

Apparently Grace was really "working it" on the runway.

**************************

Emily is in the pet sitting business again this summer.

She and a neighbor girl typed up a flyer to put in mailboxes in the neighborhood.

Pretty good, huh?

They decided to add some pictures to dress up the flyer.

They did a quick web search and picked these pictures.

Emily and Katie very proudly came to me displaying their handiwork.

There is a reason I insist on reading flyers like this before my kids start putting them in the neighbor's mailboxes.

I like my neighbors. 

I want my neighbors to like us too.

This is one of the pictures Emily and Katie found online. 

Their choice of pictures left me speechless to say the least.

I suggested they delete this picture from the flyer.

They wanted to know why.

I, as any responsible parent would do, explained to them that the picture needed deleted

because ummmm,

you couldn't see all of the dogs' faces!!

I think you would agree with my editing choice, right??

Kids........

gotta love 'em.
