growing

Everything in our garden is starting to grow! It is so cool to watch this with the kids!

We decided we were going to have a garden this year. We had one last year, but it was not very big. This year we went crazy, and I am hoping to have enough veggies to can for the winter. I have planted everything I could think of. I will keep posting things as it starts growing. I am just praying that the deer do on jump our fence and eat everything like they did last year.

Happy Mother's Day to me! This is what Mike got me for mother's day. Let me just say that they are the best tasting ANYTHING I have ever had!

We have a kite festival every year in Ruidoso. My kids think it is the best thing ever.

Life's little pleasures

There is no scarier feeling than sticking your hand in between your couch cushions, feeling something odd, and saying to yourself, "do I pull this thing out and look to see what it is, or am I better off not knowing and acting like this did not happen?" These are just a few of the things I never pictured, in my wildest dreams, that I would have to confront. Thing I have found...
1. A practically petrified carrot.(I thought it was an old hot dog at first, but on closer examination I figured it out to be a carrot)
2. At least 17 cups of dog food. thank you Owen!
3. A wet paint brush. this was one of the scariest!
4. a piece of turkey
5.a sharp jet plane sicking straight up!
6. A shirt (a grey kids shirt, that does not belong to either of my kids) with a giant Lemon Drop stuck to it.
The list could go on forever, but these are the ones that are popping into my head at the moment.

These messes are worth it.

AHHHH!

I am NEVER posting a post like my last one! I think that Satan gets a real kick out of taking me from my happy place to a crappy place. Things are still going great, with one little hiccup that will be out of my life and on to ruin other lives as of the middle of the month.
