Garden Party

I guess without some special people across the world to keep apprised of what we're doing my blogging has gotten a little slow. Actually life has just been busy with company, sickness & just plain life. So here I am again playing catch up.

A few weeks ago we decided it was that time of year again to get our yearly attempt at a garden planted. We do it for a family home evening. I took the boys to Home Depot while Daddy was at work to pick up the things that we needed. They wanted to help pick what we would grow so everyone got to pick one thing to plant. We got zucchini for Daddy, tomatoes for Mama, strawberries for Jameson, and cucumbers for Alex. While we were there picking things up I told my boys how these were the same things I used to plant with my family when I was little. Apparently that got them thinking. Pretty soon they asked if they could invite Grammy & Papa to come for family home evening to help us plant our garden. We called and invited them & they came. It was so fun to have them there. The boys were so happy to have them there to help that Grammy & Papa ended up doing most of the planting cause the boys wanted "Grammy & Papa to help me". It's so great to have some time with them so that the boys get to make these memories with them. Here are the pictures from the night.

Thanks Grammy & Papa for making it such a fun night.
