Gardening......

Here are some pictures I got today. We changed it around a bit as you will see, and I don't have any thing planted yet, today was prep work getting the ground ready.
Any way here are the pictures enjoy....
My gardening apron that I made just the other day, and my work boots, they look a little like fancy boots in these picture, which I thought it was pretty funny. But they are really great work boots.There is no point to this picture, I just liked it.I don't likes these next two pictures, but they show the apron which is what I want to show you all.The back of the green house and most of my outside boxes.
The right side of the green house(from the back), this is were I am going to plant all my tomatoes.The left side (from the front), this is were i am going to plant my Basil and Cucumbers, the lights will go up tomorrow.The left side (from the back), my table will get a new top, a shelf, and a light with in the next couple days.My Yellow Columbine, I love Columbine it is my favorite flower and I am making a collection of them, so far I have white and yellow and pink, and I think red but I am not sure yet and it is a new plant and I have not seen it bloom yet.
The front of my green house, we put the raspberry there just the other day and they are looking great.The green house last year was from the beginning of the green house over there and the corner of the fenced area over here, but it was to big and did not work so we cut it don and are trying to see how it go this year.Same thing on the other side.The only thing growing right now, last years strawberries.
This is how long the green house was last year.The sign of a hard worker, good work boots.I could not tell which I like best, so I just put them all on here.My rock wall flower bed that Christian made me this year. I have it full of flower, and can't what for them all to bloom.

And She Said.....

We have been learning the song 'Onward Christian Soldier'. It's a great song and we have been having a great time learning it together. But when Lydia tried it's so cute, that it is hard not to laugh at her. Any way this is how the conversation went we were trying to teach her the song.....

Dad~Onward Christian Soldier
Lydia~Christian Soldier
Dad~marching as to war
Lydia~WAR
Dad~with the cross of Jesus
Lydia~Jesus
Dad~Going on before
Lydia~'fore
Dad~Christ the Royal Master
Lydia~'aster
Dad~leads against the foe
Lydia~'o'
Dad~Forward into battle
Lydia~'atle'
Dad~see His banner go
Lydia~GO
Dad~AMEN
Lydia~AMEN

I hope you all enjoyed this, is not as cute as her but maybe you will get a little laugh out of it any way.

First Spring Picnic!!!!!!!!!!

Last Friday, we went on our first picnic of the year. It was such a beautiful day, we had a wonderful time. Here are some fun pictures I got.Most of us, getting ready for lunch.

There first, and last outing with us, three days after this they took out 28 of our chickens, so we had to give them away, we can't have dogs that kill chickens here.
Phillip's first outing that is outside, and his first picnic.....cute little thing. :)

Hi!
Not sure what to think about all this.....
Take my picture!! Hey! :)

Three sisters.
These next pictures are pretty, the creek itself is dirty and smelly. But make great pictures and if you are not to picky about germs you can cool your feet in it in the summer.


Lydia having a great time.
Joy!
Love!
A great picture, any of you children (of any age) have you ever noticed how hard it is to get a good picture of your parents? My parent do not like having their picture take, or they like to talk when I am trying to take their picture, that is not a good picture when they do. So I am very pleased with this picture.
Pure happiness!
:)


Delaney, I think maybe she was slower then the others that day because I was able to catch her for pictures a lot more then her sisters, or brother as well.
Tree Number One! Tree Number One! (?why is it tree #1?)
Playing ball!!
The beautiful day!!
The park was so crowded we played in here for a good 30 minute. We had more fun just us in there with one ball, a net, shadows, and a camera then we did with the whole playground and 10 other people. :)


Erin enjoying the fun of her family.
Delaney play around.
Kathleen being a little goofy, but having a great time!!

Question for the next couple pictures...

Were you having a good time?

Yes!
YES! YES!
YES! YES! YES!
Connor being Super Man, for a long time now he has been trying to get the kids to believe he is Super Man, and so he was very happy with the Super Man picture. :)
