Parley...zoom zoom zoom

Dean finally pulled out the camera the other day and took some pics of Parley. He is really getting around well, but hasn't quite started walking. He has taken a few steps, but that is is so far! :-)
He loves to stand up though and he can stand for a long time, he usually gets quite the grin and you can tell he is pretty proud of himself!

I have to love this picture. A few hours with dad, a dirty face, a bruised head, and having so much fun!!! I confess the bruise was from an earlier fall, but it was funning coming home to this face. He loves to hang out with Dad and even says the little Da Da Da. It is pretty cute and you can tell he is trying to say Dad! He does the same for Mom too! :-) (He likes to stare people down with his mouth open... he gets that from me i guess)

Garden Pics 2009

I know that it has been quite a while since i put anything on my blog, but i have been very busy as you can see. I enrolled in school, got a new calling at church, helping out with my brother's new baby, trying to get these gardens up and running and doing the everyday things like laundry, changing diapers, watching my super cute little boy and all that jazz! So anyway, here are the pics of the garden as it stands right now and hopefully there will be more delightful pictures of lots of things growing very soon!! :-)
Okay, so here is the little map of my garden that i might have gotten a bit carried away with when i decided to do up a little map on the computer.... now i have 8x10 glossy colored copies of each raised bed with the all the little details of the garden. We shall see if this is helpful or a bad idea in the end.
Here are the tomato starts that i recently got and they are doing quite well and look very healthy, but i only have two to three weeks before i have to get them in the ground or they won't do so well. I put them outside during the day and inside at night for now.

Here are two of the raised beds with them all plotted out into 1x1' squares ready for planting. Don't they look great!! :-)



here are the other two raised beds. One is a double decker because we are planting carrots and potatoes in that bed. These are not finished yet as you can see, but are getting super close. Hopefully tonight. I am also putting in little stepping stones between the boxes and tiny pebbles to go around the stones, just so it looks delightful! I hope they grow well.

Gardening 2009

So i am super excited this year about my garden. I got Dean to build me some raised beds after Sarah and I plotted them out. We have 4 4ftx8ft raised beds, 3 6" tall and one 12" tall. We feel like we are part of a revolution or something. Almost everyone in our neighborhood is planting a garden. It is super exciting!! Last year i just planted tomatoes and a few other things in pots, but this year we are getting a bit more adventurous. Anyway, there will be pictures to follow soon!! :-)
