Summer Sampler

The sun's out and the wind has died down so it's becoming harder and harder to sit at this computer. Hooray for sunshine! This past weekend we got wet 'n wild: I found a spinkler at a yard sale which the boys enjoyed and then I gave the boys their summer buzz. I really didn't want to give Keegan one but it's much more manageable now and out of his eyes. *Sniff.* I miss his white fuzz.

Not that he cares... Also, at said yard sale, I found some Mega Blocks for his birthday. I set them in the kitchen when I got home and went to get a few more things from the car and this is what I came back to:
Yeah, big surprise there. I can't keep this kid out of anything anymore! So I'll need to stick a bow on it for his birthday and PRETEND like he's never seen it. At least I know he likes it. We also snuck away for Memorial Day weekend at the Bingham's! Good food, lots of laughs, and Dean getting put in as bishop! What a weekend. We were all very tired by the end of it. Keegan was sacked out before we hit the freeway going home. Keegan got to play with more sprinklers, a motorized John Deere tractor, and a peddle car... he's fond of the peddle car when Aunt Ali pushes it and he can ride around waving to the pretty ladies. We discovered that he's fond of bubbles, too.
My personal quest this summer is to have a great garden and lovely flowers. Can't complain as yet. I've eaten a lot of radishes, the lettuce would feed a covy of bunnies, and my roses were the first show-stoppers on the block (way to be, guys!). I keep busy mowing, walking with friends, and reading summer books. Cody recently passed the torch of bookkeeping to me so I have had to spend some nights journaling all the entries, but I'm almost through to the end of May. Little pleasures, right?

I love garden lettuce! radishes...eh! Keegan looks cute with his haircut...he looks older too! So, why the silent visit to Jerome? You guys should stop by to say hi when you're in town. Gary would particularly love to visit with Cody, I bet. You're an awesome yard-saler. Way to go! I think I'll try it this summer too, but I think the selection might be a little picked over. Who knows! They're fun anyways. Beautiful roses, by the way. I think I've got some napweed with flowers on it....

i love your flowers! so beautiful! i also am envious of your garden veggies....mine [my garden] is an utter failure...and we won't be replanting b/c we have too many SNAILS...they ate everything...and ruined everything else. we put snail poison down and it worked for a while, but they're just everywhere. thousands and thousands of them...where do they come from???

Thanks for sharing your roses with me...just beautiful. On top of that, it gave Jared the great idea of cutting some of our own pink beauties for me. Can't wait to start walking again.

Hey Lizzie, Those flowers really are amazing. What kind are the cabbage looking ones? Gotta order some! I'm glad you didn't buzz cut Keegan's hair, I thought that was what you meant to do. It is too cute being all fly away like!
