Fun Day!

We had a really fun day with friends today! First we had a picnic lunch and fed some animals. Then we picked lost of yummy strawberries! Then we headed to a park that had lots for us to do. We did a little fishing, our friends had an extra poll to let Gavin try and he has decided he loves it, we played in the playground, went over to the skatepark there, played on the playground and fished some more! We all had so much fun!

My Helpers...

I wish we had more counter space, or a better set up so both boys could help at my side. Dane found, what he thinks is, a better space to help. Sitting on the counter, so Gavin can stand on a chair by me and they both get to help. I am so very lucky to have two little boys who love to help (we are rolling out tortillas)!

Garden!

Our garden is making some serious progress now that the weather has improved! We are all very excited to watch it grow and get to eat all of the yummy food we are growing! After many years of not doing well with growing anything, this is amazing and so much fun! I love getting to share this with my boys and that they love to help water and take care of our plants. They love to look over each plant to see as they change and begin to grow the actual vegetables. Hopefully they will continue to do well and we will have more carrots, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, basil, and cilantro than we know what to do with!

Bike Riding

We have been doing a lot of bike riding as we have been enjoying the much warmer May! It has been awesome! We have been able to go all together which is so much fun and during the week the boys and I ride at home and also at various playgrounds. Gavin's favorite has a skate park so we go at least once a week now. Dane really enjoys it as well. He is just taking off on the strider trying to keep up with Gavin!

Sunning!

Hoping for Spring!

In our desperate need for warmer weather, spring, and things to look forward to, we started the seeds for our garden! I also had a handy new greenhouse with light from my parents to get us started. We are very excited! The boys had a great time filling each spot with soil, seeds, and then watering. Hopefully we have great success this year. We are looking forward to lots of tomatoes, red peppers, carrots, cucumbers, green onions, lettuce, basil, cilantro, and some wild flower! Yay!

Boy Does He Like to Eat!

Dane is quite the character and among his many loves, he loves food. He rarely refuses it (like he really isn't hungry - although even that seems rare) and he loves a huge variety. It is such a nice change since Gavin went from willing to try things to picky so quickly (and still is). Although Dane loves most food, he does have his favorites. One being sour cream. I have no idea why he loves it so much but he has that on his plate he is using all the other food to scoop it up and then asks for more. Sometimes, like last night, he even resorts to using his fingers to be sure he doesn't miss any. He cracks me up!
