We finally have a garden!!!

Megan has begged and begged for a garden for years...so this year we finally decided to put a garden in our yard. 


As you can see we had a lot of work to do!

We lined the floor with cardboard boxes and we then assembled the garden beds on top.

Of course we had lots of good helpers along the way!

Taking a break from all of the hard work!

The kids loved playing in the dirt before we added more and more and more!

Notice Megan has her net in her hand as always...catching some butterflies or dragonflies!

Dirty girl!

The finished product!!! The garden beds with 2 small walkways!

Our Kids Love Soccer!!!

Jacob and Megan both adore soccer. They work hard at practice and during games. Both seem to be natural defenders which is interesting! 

Jacob continues to grin ear to ear anytime he's playing!



Megan is more aggressive that I've ever seen her! She really gained confidence this season and even scored her first goal! It was a very exciting moment!



She was always super eager to go out and play!

Jacob's 6th Birthday Dinosaur Party

Here are the invitations for Jacob's Dinosaur Party! 

The kids worked really hard putting all the fun kits together for the friends. Each kiddo played and brought home a container full of sand, shells, dinosaurs, and even a dinosaur egg to crack!

Here they are hard at work!

The food included dino claws (bugles), dino eggs (candy), dino bones (pretzel sticks), and more! My friends from work were awesome and let me borrow cool dino bone replicas, posters, plastic dinosaurs, and gave great ideas for the dino-stomp as well!

Here are the friends with their dinosaur hats eating snacks and cake!

The cake turned out well, it's supposed to resemble a dig site and you can see the dinosaurs being excavated if you look closely!

He was a happy camper!

Even the grown ups got into the fun! The dinosaur in Emily's hand was special, she carried it everywhere with her (it was borrowed too!)

Great Grandma getting some Brandon snuggles in!

Dino stomp! We played the dino stomp on the tv and the kids loved it!

And of course everyone loved present time!

Of course we weren't expecting everyone to trudge out in the mud to the trampoline but they did...and they all had a blast! I couldn't have done with without Jacob's friend's grandma helping with crowd control though!
