Grill Master

Josh got a BBQ from his dad for Father's Day

and Josh is SO EXCITED for summer grilling!

This steak was AMAZING

SO juicy and flavorful... totally impressed

And here's Jacob

being cute and showing off his new

habit of climbing into the table...ugh!

But he's so darn cute doing it

P & J

I don't know why but

I really enjoy making these!

Maybe it's the challenge,

maybe I just love looking at pictures of my kids

Whatever it is, I hope you don't mind...

that is if there is anyone out there who reads my blog

=)

Fathers Day 2010

This year we went over to Josh's Dad's house

for a rainy day BBQ

Jacob, Josh, Riley (Josh's brother) and John (Josh's Dad)

Jacob LOVES sticks of any kind...

broom, wood, medal, the swifer, a golf club... anything

He will carry it around forever!

John has chickens and Jacob got to meet one

of the chicks. He tried to give it a kiss, but I didn't

have my camera ready, bummer =)

Jacob would like to remind you to...

I think all moms can agree

when your child smiles, it makes it all worth it! =)

It's amazing to me how simple life is for small children

You can see in their faces that they delight in the littlest things

Sometimes when he smiles like this

it makes me LOVE my life that much more

and it makes me think that he loves his life

If I could give my children one thing it would be

that they would love this beautiful, unpredictable,

crazy, amazing, one time and one time only... life

Love Life

I love that I get to be his mommy

And I love Josh and Peyton too ;)

Water Fun

This guy LOVES to be outside!

Grandma Shelley got him his pool

and he LOVES it

Thanks Grandma!!! =)

4 Jacob & Peyton's Dad

We love you

Garden, hits and misses

Here's the progress of my plants

Hits:

Sugar snap peas

Dill (thriving!)

Lettuce

Raspberries

Cabbage

Misses:

Tomatoes BIG TIME (don't know where I went wrong)

Basil (sprouted, then they all disappeared,

it's the weirdest thing)

Still not sure:

Pumpkins (hasn't sprouted yet)

Zucchini (same)

Strawberries (we have ONE berry)

Chives (they looked like they might die,

and are now looking a little better, I guess

we will have to wait and see)

Any advice?

Jacob dancing around! He LOVES to be outside! =)
