My Birthday Present!!! Finally finished!
This is MY garden, a place for me to unwind and relax away from everyone else, hopefully! Since we moved, I have been wanting to grow a vegetable garden in this space. Before it was only wood chips and then was becoming a poo bed,,, Daisy no no. Sooo, Jake let me get started on tossing the wood chips and getting loads of new soil and compost! I love it! I just finished sowing all my seeds, took me two whole hours! There are going to be delicious veggies to start eating in about a month! We decided to plant strawberries, I hope they will continue to grow, we bought the plants. Also, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, onions, peppers, chives, garlic chives, zucchini, mint (i love in my water with lemon) and basil. WOW, I know, Lots of stuff! On top of that we have an apple tree, plum tree and a lemon tree too!
You are probably wondering how the rest of the fam is doing? Reese, is the sweetest girl I know! She tells me she loves me, I am pretty, and helps me around the house! I never thought it would happen, then she started sweeping up her playdoh messes, and picking up her toys. She even helps me put the dishes away! Crazy little toddler! Millions of words come out of her mouth, some I can't even understand! Her new thing is to say "NO WAY" and then shake her head like we are weirdos. She is a full time pantie wearing girl now, well except at bedtime, we are still working on that. Habit of drinking milk before bed doesn't help. Reese is super excited for Brodys birthday, and that we will be having "birthday cake".
Brody is a running machine! He has the cutest teeth, and eats everything. He says mama and dada when he needs to. Surprisingly, he is a disciplined little guy. Sleep patterns are great now! I know the first 10 months of his life were difficult for us, but now they are making up for themselves. I think the poor kid just wanted to walk this whole time! He is such a blessing. I have learned soo many things from having two babies. Patience is a virtue. I just can't believe its been a whole year already!!! Soo excited for his first birthday, just next week!
Jake has been working in the office lately, so he is now on a set day shift. Lots is going on with his MOS at the moment, and we will update once things change. He has been great with the kids, and taking care of them so I can do some other things. I think it is hard for him to be with the babies all day, but now he knows how I feel! LOL, no really! We are settled into our house, and really like it here. It feels like home to us, minus our family and friends from WA!
Below you will find pics of the kids playing in the backyard, Brody on his walking way and us on a hike, in the dead wilderness around here. There were still beautiful things but it is just extremely dry! Yes, Jake did insist on carrying both of the kids...he's strong, why not!
