Bonding

Does this even need to be explained?

I SWEAR this was not posed!

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary!

So my beloved and I celebrated 6 years of wedded bliss....did I say that? We were out to dinner with friends recounting our marital history on Friday and we got the usual jaw drops. Married 4.5 weeks, pregnant, have baby, move to Texas, have another baby.... It really does feel like we have been married for 47 years at least.

We went to dinner at Bob's and then went to Uptown for some patio wine sippin' and people watching!

We are loving having a little more freedom for hanging out with each other and friends as the kids get a little older....this did not deter the hubby from reminding me that he would LOVE another little person at our house.

Hopefully, we have many more years to fight over politics, argue over who knows more about sports(clearly me minus baseball) and just generally drive each other insane.... isn't that what love is all about?:)

Jon's Garden Project

Jon tilled part of the side yard to add some more space for fruits and veggies. I forsee us adding more space since we have already almost filled in the new space already;). Jon rented a tiller and worked really hard to get it all done. What a good hubby!

We added cantaloupes, cucumbers, watermelons, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, a peach tree and an apple tree. I am going to add some more basil, peppers and chard this week. We really want to focus in root veggies and lettuce in the next year.

Herb/Veggie Garden

We got our garden box from last year re-planted this weekend....it is getting more fun to shop for plants and do the work with the kids. I am taking this as a good sign of things to come!:)

We have some tomatoes(less than last year since Jon is not into them), basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, cilantro, peppers, swiss chard and sage. We added some marigolds for pest control and just to make it look nice!

Tennis Anyone?

The boys set up a "indoor" tennis court in the garage. Notice, that they are wearing their rainboots while playing.

Top Chef: Toddler Style

I love Top Chef and the new one is a Top Chef Masters. I love watching all the drama when the time is running out and they need to get the meal on the plate for the critics.

I think there should be a twist. Not only would there be a time frame in which they had to get a delicious meal on the table but they would also have to at least 2 small people under their feet: asking questions, whining, asking for snacks and complaining...

Not that would be must watch TV!

Popsicles compliments of Grandma and Papa!

Grandma and Papa sent us a fancy Zoku Popsicle maker form Williams Sonoma. After freezing the base for 24 hrs....with much whining from Luke because he wanted them immediately...we had apple juice pops this afternoon in less than 10 minutes.

They were so delicious and the boys loved them! Luke was less than thrilled that I didn't have any juice on hand to make "pink ones"...but what can you expect from a teething 2.5 year old.

Thanks GM and Papa!
