Planting A Garden

Mid-April we planted our garden as a family, early Saturday morning. We went the night before and brought the seeds and plants. Last year we didn't have a garden because we were landscaping our backyard and putting in a garden area. We missed having a garden last year,specially during harvest time due to landscaping a garden area in our backyard. It was so easy to plant this year. Tim spent the rest of the day designing a water dip system, no easy task, but it works beautifully. So Jacob and Noah each have a plant that they are responsible for in the garden and we took picture of them next to their plant. Adam decided to plant Lego's in his spot. :) We were pleased to see the plants coming up from seed after a week in the ground. Now the plants stand two inches. We will have a ton of English cherries and green grapes this year and a few regular cherries. We had alot of fun that morning. Last picture is of Adam and Tim mowing the lawn together.

Jacob's Letters

A month or so we asked our family, Jacob's close friends and his past teacher to write letters of appreciation. Jacob didn't know about the letters until the day at school called, "Day of Appreciation". It was my pleasure to see the many replys to this request. Jacob was so surprised and the letter touched him and he felt very loved by all of you! Thank you for making Jacob feel this way. We are very grateful for our family and friends support and love. We have been blessed with wonderful and amazing friends in all the places we have lived and appreciate each of you and all you do for good! Here are two pictures of all the letters you send, it was awesome!

Random Pictures

Since I haven't blogged for a long time, I got behind in our picture sharing. So here are some of the great pictures that shows the happenings of our family. Enjoy!

Finishing Up Preschool

Noah has two more week of his preschool and then he is done. It has gone by fast and Noah has done really well this year. We can see great inprovements in his letter and writing knowledge. He has developed a liking for reading too. One of our favorite activities Noah and I do together is reading while laying on his bed. At night we read together, a book of his choosing. I really enjoy this time with him and I think he does too, even if he doesn't say. He is going to Kindergarten this fall at the same school Jacob is going too. Jacob will be in third year this fall. Last Tuesday, Noah preformed in an assembly with his preschool class, in front of several hundred high schoolers. He is a great job and he wore his T-shirt he made at school. We also went on a field trip to the zoo, Adam and I went too. It was so fun, I love outings with my boys!

Adam is 18 Months Old!

Believe it or not Adam is 18 months old! He had his first day of church nursery a week ago and did really well. I took him to the Doctor on Friday and he is 23.4 pounds, 33 inches tall and in the 100% in head. Adam is our climber and so busy. I thought Jacob and Noah knew how to climb and they did, but Adam is a whole different story. Keeping his safe is about all I can do. But he is active and healthy so we are grateful for that.

Breath!

Oh, I promise I haven't given up and stopped blogging. My main reason for lack of posting is Adam, Adam and oh Adam. He is such a joy but highly busy. He is my climber, he has climbed on every piece of furniture we have in the house. We pray daily for his protection. :) He is also running now, yes, last month he started to walk.
I am happy and proud of each of my sons. I love how creative, sweet, thoughtful they are to me. I love their differences and I know each of them have been blessed with talents to help better the world around them.
The best way to describe three kids is "one up, one down and one pending." I feel at time like I am jugging three balls in the air, but I am still jugging. I could not have keep jugging with Tim. He has been such a help and I can't do anything well without his help and encouragement. I really just love all my four gentlemen and it is my great pleasure to be their lady.

So Nobody Misses It!.
