Update on the Garden


Our garden has taken off. It is actually more grown than this now. These were taken a week ago. We have enjoyed herbs, jalapenos, basil, and green peppers. There are lots of little tomatoes starting, as well as squash.


Gardening Fun!


We started a garden back in early May. My dad gave us this raised bed. We are hoping for some yummy vegetables and herbs. It should prove interesting considering we've never even been able to get tomatoes to grow in pots.

Friends!


I took Hannah and her friend from the neighborhood to meet another neighborhood friend for dinner. She moved out of state, but moved back to another town not too far away. It was fun to see them all back together again.

David's Birthday


We had David's birthday party at a jump factory type place here in town. He invited close friends, although all did not get to come. He had a fun and tiring time jumping and playing.





Our neighbors came. Amy is my other best friend. Their son, Ian, is David's best friend. This is Amy with their youngest, Elise.








David wanted a cookie cake, rather than a regular cake. He only eats the icing off of a regular one.







Food, fun, family, and friends! It doesn't get any better.

Fun on the Farm


David and I had the opportunity to go to the Rock Ranch. Hannah was visiting family, so we missed her. We were amazed at how friendly the animals were.


Easter


Easter Sunday! We couldn't find the camera that morning. The afternoon sun was bright, but I think the kids look great!


Hannah's Birthday Gift


For Hannah's birthday, we decided to take her to the Wilderness Lodge in Pigeon Forge. They have an indoor water park, which is one of our favorite things to do together as a family.

Here's David enjoying a pose with a bear that decorated the lobby.



Here's a picture of our room. It was a great room, with a sleeper sofa, refrigerator, and microwave. You get to start using the water park as soon as you get there, even if it's before check in. You can also use it the day you check out. One night can be almost 2 full days in the park.





We all spent a lot of time in the wave pool. It was so strong. I think being smaller since it was indoors really gave it a lot more strength than the bigger, outdoor types. She is the one near the middle in black and white.




Here's another view of the water park. It's a great place to visit and play. She really thought it was a great gift.
