Savannah's 9th & Our Family Garden









Whay a busy weekend we had here! First off, I wanted to congratulate Benny and Hope on the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Ava. She is gorgeous. You can check out her pictures and their family news on their website listed in my Family & Friends Section.



Friday night, we borrowed a trailer from the Jones family and ran off to the Skroski family to borrow their tiller. That was our planned date night before the rain on Saturday. Fun, huh!? Well, Larry Denzil tilled till it got too dark. He at least finished the strawberry patch section. On Saturday morning, we were suppose to have thunderstorms, but did not. We had a wimpy sprinkling. So Larry Denzil was able to till quite a bit. He did over half our garden. His entire body was sore especially his back. He tilled some more Monday night and is still not done after 3 days of tilling. He is quite thorough and our garden plot is quite big. Not to mention, we spend more time tossing out rocks. So far, we have planted strawberries, onions, and peppers. Our tomatoes come in this afternoon and I am sure I will be out there planting away. We also have a cantaloupe plant, a water melon plant and some pumpkin and corn seeds to plant some time this
week.

Later Saturday evening, we decided to go to Lonestar Steakhouse to celebrate Savannah's 9th birthday. Kids eat free Saturday's so we took advantage of that. And Savannah loved it. She loves eating out and especially loves drinking root beer. Both her wishes were granted.



Sunday was Savannah's official birthday. We had cake and ice cream and Savannah wanted to invite the John's over. Sister John's and Rachel are two of Savannah's most favorite people at church. Sister John's used to be Savannah's primary teacher and Rachel is our regular baby sitter. I think Ethan John's enjoyed himself too. He is Savannah's age and just had a grand time playing with all our kids. Savannah's real gift, a keyboard, had not gotten here yet, but she enjoyed her other smaller gifts. She got a dance mat, some jewelry, a Himalayan Cat Webkin, clothes and money. The dance mat was a huge hit here. Everyone was dancing on it. The way Savannah was moving, I would say it was a great workout too.


Savannah also shared her birthday last Thursday at our Brownie Troop meeting. I made some Daisy cup cake cones to celebrate Earth Day. I had to take a picture of them because I had worked so hard on them.


I hope everyone else is having a wonderful and productive week like us.

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
