Our First Strawberry

Addison is way into gardening. Last Spring we started our summer crops with a strawberry plant. Here are some photos of our first strawberry. 

In the butterfly net?!?

Moving on...... Now that the strawberry excitement is over we have moved on to looking for bugs.

I am excited to say that we now have a full herb section, a peach tree which is doing great, a plum tree which is doing so/so, a blackberry bush and a cherry tree which is barely hanging on. Addison has been begging for an apple tree and to grow eggplant and cucumbers. I don't think he knows that I have a black thumb....but I sure am trying!

Shaving Cream Paint

Every once in a while we break out the shaving cream and food coloring which always makes for a fun bath time. Here was one of our escapades from last May.

Patrick's 36th!

Okay, so my blogging has been pretty nonexistant this past year. I keep on not wanting to post new things because I want to post in order and I keep on thinking I will catch up. This has not been a successful approach so, I am going for a new approach. I'll just post and do a "look back" at older posts. Hopefully this will be a bit more successful!

We went to Stone Brewery for Patrick's big 36 this year. It is a great place to let the kids run around and kick back with a beer. We had a great time! The only bummer was that Patrick's parents cough our stomach flue (or had food poisoning...not sure which) so they spent their trip here in bed. Booo!
