Our Green Green Garden.


Most mornings, the kids and I will go out and check out what we need to pick in the garden. 


Aiko LOVES tomatoes and usually eats most of them before we can really harvest them. She especially loves the orange cherry tomatoes. 


Orion likes to pick but not eat them. 





We have some voluntary mini pumpkins that grew this year. It's a crazy bush now and has so many tiny pumpkins. The husband hates this plant too, especially now that I've covered put the sidewalk and made the vines into a canopy. 



 These guys have crazy imaginations. They love to play hide and seek in the tomato plants or play wizards and wands with beans. 





The kids love to pick all the veggies. I'm always surprised when they actually will eat the veggies raw. 


We tried some kale and beet leaves. They liked the kale but not the beets. 



Again, playing some kind of pretend with the kale and peppers.






They really love picking the beets and carrots. Most of my carrots have been dug up already because they just can't stand not picking them. 


Luckily, I planted a whole bunch of beets this year. But they don't care to pick them as much since they are still pretty small. 









Playing "Monsters" in the tomatoes. 



I hope the babies remember the garden time as being fun, I sure remember it being kind of fun with grandma and hanging out with my siblings. 


First Day of School


Aiko's first day of "Kindeegarten." I think she was excited. We walked to school with a bunch of her buddies. All the other kids were holding their parents hand, but not Aiko, she was up at the very front without us. 







Once we got to school, we hung up her backpack and then her teacher wanted the kids to go outside until the bell rang. So Aiko went out and watched all the kids playing. Then the bell rang to go inside and I think it kind of frightened her, that and watching all the kids come running up the stairs. She got a little worried for a hot second and seemed so lost and little. Luckily, Dad was there to save the day. He dropped her off in the classroom and that was it. 


When I asked her how her first day went she said "I'll tell you later." We still aren't quite sure what she think about school and it's been a week. I think she's still trying to process everything. 


The man had his first day of school yesterday. He came home super happy and excited. 


He told me all about the kissing hand. Apparently, the kissing hand kissing your hand and "travels up your arm to your cheek." That's about all I got out of him for his first day. 



These guys sure were excited for school!

Tony's Grove

A few years ago, I remember hiking this and thinking how amazing it all was, so we headed up the canyon to Logan.

 I think it was Memorial Day weekend and it was terribly busy and SOOOO hot. 

 We thought perhaps there would be snow, but all we found we lots of crowds and everyone was slightly grumpy. 

 We walked the short walk to the picnic area, ate our lunch and then left. 


The kids were all tired and even the adults were grumpy. 







One day we'll come back with happy faces.
