kids, camera, Socks!

a few pics from the weekend

and a pic of my new toy this replaces my kodak but am reading up on it before using ~ a first for me!

C D B has this new thingy he does


i tried to capture it uh, nope, that's not it!


he laces his fingers and jumps with them out in front of him ~ it's so funny in "real" life

he also jumps, jumps, and bounces on his bum!!

he also screamed bloody murder (loud enough that Poppy came out to see what was wrong and what we were doing to him) when L B and L J wouldn't let him on the trampoline!!

we tried to explain it was their turn ~ all he would do was yell JUMP! JUMP!


started some more socks ~ the 2nd cable footie is almost complete ~ maybe this week???

these have become my favorites -- i know -- i whined about the yarn breaking and the thin-ness etc, but with each washing they are soooooo soft and warm!

if you can get your hands on some -buy it!!! Freshisle Fibers -watermelon i'll be stalking the site for more myself!! (oh yeah, get the single ply) it sells out within minutes ~ YEP! minutes.

garden stash!

L J's marigold plant has grown 5 feet!! it's hard to believe he came home from school with this in a paper cup of dirt (not to mention it was having issues when we actually planted it) i am amazed and it's protecting the garden from the "wild bunnies who like to chomp"

yum!! see in pic on the right side??? those are my HOT peppers ~ YAY! some finally turned red ~~planted 5 of those hot pepper plants ~ one has probably 20 peppers on it! the others have 5-10 ~~ i'm very excited to see red ~ hard to wait 75 days for a RED hot pepper

the tomatoes are mediocre ~ don't think i'll get the "beef" ones anymore & the green peppers and cucumbers went crazy

we have 2 watermelon growing and 1 cantaloupe

NO pumpkins :(

Tuna thinks maybe next year!

we have tasted the hot peppers and they are hot! hot! husbeast (ha!) says i'm crazy - that i should plow over them - nope!
