Summer is here!!!

We had the busiest weekend planned and we were so excited that the weather cooperated! First of all my mom and I decided to finally plant our garden. We got my mom a peach tree for Mother's Day, so we had to plant that along with all our veggies. We are doing a family garden this year, so we had to expand so we would have enough room for everything. So, this is about 1/2 of the garden. We have lots of fruits and veggies; strawberries, blueberries, peach tree, raspberries, cantalope, zucchini, tomatoes, bush beans, red peppers, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, carrots, asparagus, onions, and also an herb garden. I can't wait until we start getting some produce!! GROW GARDEN GROW!!!

This is my mom celebrating the fact that we go everything planted!!



So, our next project was spreading 10 yards of top soil in our back yard. We are preparing for grass, so we needed to level out the yard. I helped a little bit, but Jesse did the majority of the work. I can't wait for us to have a real yard for Harley to play in.


Harley was just trying to help us get it all done faster. He thought that maybe if he laid down on the piles somehow it would just magically be done, and we would play with him instead!! I think he was enjoying the cool feel of the dirt...

Look how big your baby is! What a cute :) I remember how much fun it was to spread all that dirt around. We got the cheaper dirt that had lots of little rocks in it. So much fun! Abby got so used to the dirt she likes it more then the grass. She has been known to go bathroom in the flower bed instead of the yard :)

Wow, Harley is so big! Yay for gardens! Sounds like you guys have quite an array of veggies and fruits! I made a small garden in our backyard...I wish I had more room!
