The newest addition to the family...
This is Sugar Maple... We picked her out from the rest at the nursery because she grows fast and is going to be very tall ~50ft. (we need a little height in our family) So far, she has adjusted nicely to her new home and Bruno, Buster, and Dennis have not shown any signs of jealousy. We are so happy... didn't quite feel like digging her out. We may run into trouble in the fall when she turns bright orange and red but by then it will be too late (90 day guarantee).

How does your garden grow?
Growing a garden from seed is so fulfilling. I like my store bought tomatoes and peppers and flower plants but I just don't love them as much as my babies ...
Here are four sunflowers. This is my first time trying sunflowers from seed and it is surprisingly easy and fun. They grow really fast and that's fun cause it gives you hope for the rest of your garden.
I thought this was a good picture when I took it but alas the carrots are not in focus. Ah-ha! Carrots do grow in dirt... not just sand.
Here is our lettuce patch.
And also very fun, pole beans! I am going to grow a bean stalk into the clouds like mario! These were only planted less than a week ago... so I'm planning on having some big plants.
So, here is my attempt to make an interactive blog... Answer me this... How does your garden grow?

26 years & 8 months
WOW... my birthday... and camille's, Nick's, Lindsay's, Jill's, and Doug's... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU GUYS! You have the best Birthdays ever.
I have found that every year my birthday is getting more and more boring. This year I took care of Dennis... the poor dude has the runs and an upset stomach. My favorite things about today were... going to sacrament meeting alone, coming home to a clean house (dishes, laundry, and a made bed compliments of my sweet husband), snuggling with Dennis through a great movie (only happens when he is sick otherwise will not even relax enough to lay his head down) and eating delicious brownies.
This weekend I watched two great movies that I will recommend to everyon
e!
e! 1. Madagascar 2... hilarious. Moto Moto is my favorite character. "she loves me, she loves my eyes, she loves me, she loves my thighs"... oh if being large and in charge were attractive.
2. Marley and Me... such a good movie for all. I loved it because it just showed his whole life really fast. Its neat to see life in the fast lane. It gives you a good perspective... do you want to have a family when you are 40 or do you still want to be creating a pick up line for the next moto moto that you see. I am soooo grateful for the choices that I have made.
It's also Dennis's 8 month birthday today. We shared it with some good memories:
