Garden Time

Middle of May, my FAVORITE time of year! The weather is perfect, the grass is nice, thick and green (because of all the rain of course =-) ) And of course lets not forget its the time to get your gardens ready! I LOVE this part of spring!

So for my family it is our tradition to get the garden all ready to plant by Mother's Day (right around the 15th of May-best time to plant) So I had everything ready to go by then.
On Mother's Day my Mom, Step Dad and brother came over to BBQ and we planted all of our seeds! My brother just LOVED helping me (*sarcasm*) lol!

After we got this part done it was off to find some rocks to paint. Another new tradition is to paint rocks to place at the end of the row we just planted so we will know what is planted at each row. So fun and the kids just love painting rocks! (And I love to decorate my garden with all the rocks they paint)

Here is a picture of the garden--

Here is the turnip rock I painted--

Here is one that my Mom did--

This year we planted corn, squash, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, turnips, lettuce and sunflowers!

I will try and keep you updated on how the garden is doing.. I hope I have inspired you all to go out and get your hands in the soil! Happy Gardening!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! YAY!!

I have always wanted a place to sit in the shade and hang flowers! So excited to BBQ and spend my summer out here.

Our AMAZING Family California trip

So here Iam finally posting about our amazing vacation! As some of you already know... we go to Disneyland just about EVERY year lol! And this year was no exception haha. We decided to go see some other sights along the way. The first place we went was Hoover Dam. WOW! I have never been there but I must say, it was something to see! There are building this AMAZING road over the dam and it is sooo cool! If you are ever in the Vegas area you have to see this thing.

We only walked about half way..well actually it was more like less than half way around the dam lol! I was totally freaked out! It was sooo far down and I could not stand to have my kids near this thing! So after we got a quick look we got out of there! My hubby thought I was nuts! But what can I say, I AM! LOL!

So then we took a little walk around Vegas. We didn't go to far just over to the Excalibur and the M&M Store. It was so dirty and there were so many naked pictures every where I had to get my kids out of there too! But we had fun driving down the strip and seeing all the pretty lights =-)

Here we are after arriving in Cali, we decided to go and check out the amazing Queen Mary. Its this really old ship that they say is Haunted! We did a haunted tour. It was so neat! A must see if you are ever in Long Beach!

So then we decided we wanted to go to Hollywood to see the stars in the sidewalk, well that turned into a nightmare! There was no where to park! NO WHERE!!! We drove around and drove around and drove around some more! A waist of time! So after that we decided to go and find some peace in the LA Temple. It was so beautiful! Another must see!

Here we are having fun at Newport Beach with are awesome friends the Hunter's. They were so nice and let us stay in their time share for the week for FREE! and we had to thank them with dinner. So we took them to The Old Spaghetti Factory and then we headed over to the ocean for so fun!

Here we are at the "happiest place on earth" LOL! Disneyland!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

My sweet baby he is so cute! His daddy just had to buy him this sucker. (Even though it was like five bucks! ) How can you resist this face!?

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Cant wait to come back!

So there you have it! What a fun trip! I am so happy we got to go down there and get some much needed rest! Fun time with the family! Brian wants to go again, THIS YEAR! LoL not to sure if that will happen....will see haha =-) there are more pictures on my facebook page if you want to see......until next time
