Watermelon

We’ve been enjoying tons of watermelon this year thanks to our generous friends from church!

Jude decided to have his “to go”…as he escapes down our driveway!

Blueberries

This years blueberry crop has suffered from late frosts and a tropical storm. There are plenty of berries for snacking though!

Garden Tour

This is a great time of year when there is always something good to eat from the garden. All our new additions are really taking off. These photos were taken a month ago so everything is even bigger now.

We have plenty of flowers for Analy to pick.

We have cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, and tomatoes.

Sunflowers and a pomegranate.

 

An herb garden.

 

 

The boys are busy digging potatoes!

 

We have sweet potatoes, peppers, and zucchinis.

Strawberries.

and asparagus.

Jude loves to play in the dirt and pull up our plants!

 

Analy loves to pick all the flowers to make bouquets.

After all that hard work, Jude enjoys a bath…in the dog water!

 

Mathias turns 5!

June 6 marked Mathias 5th birthday! Oh how he has grown! These days he is all about running full speed, acting like a boy, anything to do with space, playing Angry Birds, and watching Star Wars with his dad. (My kids are dropping names and speaking a language I really don’t understand!) Tropical Storm Andrea came through on his birthday so we had to spend our day indoors. Mathias started his day early by getting us up at 6:15am to open his presents! (This was after Jude had decided 4am was a good time to wake up and be up for a few hours! Thank goodness he doesn’t typically do that!) So Mathias started his day with opening presents. He watched some Star Wars with his dad. He picked the Chinese restaurant for lunch, then back home for his Star Wars Angry Birds cake! Thankfully we were all able to get some rest after that. I think Mathias had a good birthday. He sure is loved a lot by his family and friends! Happy Birthday!
