June Garden

Our chickens are growing as fast as the rest of the garden, looking forward to eggs in August.

The kids enjoy the water activity table which provides hours of entertainment.

I am having technical difficulties with blogger so here are the photos I wanted to add to my last post:

Gus is 5!!!!

Its hard to believe that five years ago Gus was just the tiniest (9 lb kind of tiny) newborn. Exactly five years ago on this day we brought him home from the hospital. I can remember that day like it was just yesterday.

Its so sad how fast the years have flown by, yet I am so happy to see how far we've come and where we are going. Kindergarten, here we come!

I was out of town all week for work training, but was able to get back in time for Gus's birthday celebration. Here are some pics of the little family party we had. His big present was a new bike- pics of him riding that to come...

new clothes, the face says it all

Very fun new shower attachment for kids, a beautiful cross stitch from Grammy Kath

A bug condo contraption that is already a hit

So we have been busy busy busy around here lately.... between my new job, finishing the chicken coop, our crazy weekends-are-all-booked summer schedule, and the garden, I haven't found time to blog.

We spent last weekend up at Pearrygin lake with our great friends, the Sissons, and my family too. It was a great campout- lots of good food, drink, and company around the fire, as well as a visit to the Twisp farmer's market and shopping in Winthrop.

Here are some pics of the kids, taken by Grandma Connie with her fancy shmancy camera that takes the best photos:

Pearrygin Lake in the morning, a gorgeous spot that is not usually this green, but thanks to the rains it was quite beautiful.

And enjoying some "engagement" cake- congrats Laura and Mark!!
