My garden

I love having a place to do a little gardening. It's not much space but it is enough to keep me happy. I can work at it while the kids are playing outside and they also like to try to help me too.

Hi! I haven't been blogging lately, we've been really busy and I get tiered of uploading pictures all over the place.
If you would like to see pictures of my lovely family, please get a facebook account and be my friend on there. It is really easy to set up and use (even for you mom) and I put almost all my pictures on there.
I will try to blog still too but summer is kind of hard for that.
We have made a trip to the Zoo this summer. ^

-Spent many afternoons at the neighborhood pool. ^We have spent a lot of time in the car. (or truck as the case may be.) ^
We also went to see the ocean once. ^

Also I have made several trips to the Doc. to figure out about my thyroid. Thankfully I do not I cancer but I do have a really large lump that will have to come out sometime. We are planning on having the surgery in October. Please keep that in your prayers. I am a little worried about my thyroids function after the surgery.

Until next time....

My sweet Boy

Yesterday for Molly's birthday we gave her a Nerf gun.

Lars has very much enjoyed using it. Just a short while ago he was shooting things with it and he accidentally shot above the doorway to the steps. But he was not upset at all that it ( the bullet thingy) was stuck way up high. He just started pushing a chair over to the doorway to stand on to get it down. He got it almost there and thought it was close enough so he got up on it, tried to reach the foam thing but because he couldn't reach he new the problem was because he was not close enough. He got down and pushed it closer but now knew he still could not get it so he started grunting and jumping and reaching as high as he could with both hands.
Sometimes the sweetness of my children makes my heart hurt it is so full. They teach me so much. I praise God that he has given me this opportunity to be a part of these children's lives. I know each moment is a gift from Him.
