It was a little dark by the time we were finished planting but you get the idea right?!After a week of preparing the soil, we planted part of our garden tonight! We planted the early crop of peas, carrots, radishes, and lettuce. Hopefully everything will grow. I think our garden will stand a chance as long as we keep the kids and Cody out of it until the seeds sprout! That will be easy!! =)
Care Bear found this swim tube when she was looking in the garage for a shovel so she could help daddy. Who knew a floatie was necessary for gardening!
Jaco helping plant radish seeds!
La-La's turn!
Teamwork! At least it looks like it in this picture. In reality there was a lot of "Hey! It's my turn!" "You took my place!" and "WAAGGHH!"
Care Bear snuck in and took an extra long turn when Jaco and La-la weren't looking!
A friend of mine gave me a Hummingbird feeder for my birthday and we all have loved watching these amazing creatures fly in for a meal. I love it when it is warm enough to have the window open and I can hear the tiny wings buzz as they come and go. They are very competitive birds and only one bird is allowed to eat at a time. That is a rule they never break and they fight to enforce it!
Here is Cody just minutes before his first official, much needed hair cut. Fuzz ball!
And here is the new sleek version of our dog!

Hey Melissa! I've noticed that you've commented on Tiniel's blog quite a bit, but I didn't know that it was you! Can I say how jealous I am that you are planting a garden? It's still snowing here. Blech. I really, really, really hope there is some way that Jared and I will be able to get back to the great NW someday! It's our goal. Do I have your email? Here's mine....ruthjknclark@gmail.com. Write me sometime. I'd love to catch up!
I can't wait to plant my own garden. Hopefully we can this year. Your kids are so cute! I hope you don't mind me reading up on you guys. :)
mmmmm garden food! can't wait!
I can't believe it is warm enough for a garden, let alone humming birds! You really aren't that far away and we are still dealing with blizzards. Love the swim tube and cody looks really handsome!
So are you going to make your kids pick rocks and weeds out of the garden for a chore? Like what we had to do?
Ohh the memories those pictures bring back! Do you remember always planting the garden as a family for FHE? It was always one of my favorite times - that was until we had to start waking up at the crack of dawn to weed and pick out the rocks, but hey, what character we all have from that! :) Cody looks great!
Your garden looks great! I didn't dread the weeding so much for a while there, I just threatened Maria. She was so worried I would tell mom and dad that she stole candy, that she did it for me! That was a glorious year! In all actuality I was a complete brat. And I still told on her after all of it! I'm lucky she even loves me anymore!
I am impressed to see my brother working :) Hehe Way to go on the garden, I really need to learn someday, probably not this year. Any kittens yet?
I love it! I love that you are "putting down roots" both literally with the garden but also with making your home in a permanent town! Happy gardening!!
