We love our puppy

Madelyn is Potty Trained!!!!!

Both of my girls made me wonder if they would start elementary school STILL wearing diapers. Neither one of them ever expressed any interest in using the potty until I pretty much just told them we were done with diapers. I gave them both until their 3rd birthday and then called it quits with the diapers. Madelyn is doing great even though it sometimes takes about 20 trips to the bathroom before we get anything out.

Jungle Safari...

Actually, it's just Makenzie's room. But, sometimes it's a jungle in there....

This is what we do with girls that misbehave.....

Just kidding!! The girls were having fun getting in the bags and being surrounded by animals!

Tomato Crack

Most of you know my LOVE of homegrown tomatoes and that every summer since I've known Tim I've tried to grow them, with no luck. Maybe it's because Tim was gone on his deployment when I planted them, so I could give them plenty of love and attention, and sit on the back porch at night and talk to them that these guys have actually done my best to date! I just harvested my first one and it was delicious. Pure heaven! My romas and cherry tomatoes are doing well, too-the other plant is jalapenos.
