Girls and Dogs

One of my fears in having children was that we would have all girls! I sure you all know a family who has had girl after girl after girl, and they keep trying and keep getting girls. There is nothing wrong with having girls, I'm sure they will steal daddy’s heart, and be spoiled more than the boys. However I still have a desire to have a boy to carry the family name. I made a deal with Bonnie if we become one of those families who have girl after girl, once we hit 3 girls I get two dogs, as a way to keep my sanity. The dogs of my choosing would be two boxer dogs. One black and one Tan, of course the black one would be named Rocky and the tan one Apollo.....Well I’ll be one girl closer to my dogs in October!

Sweet Earth

This Saturday was our planting day - one of my favorite days in the spring. The weather was beautiful, and I enjoyed playing with dirt. We don't plant many things - mostly tomatoes & peppers, but we're excited!!!

Yes - we are fans of Lowe's. Last year we used smaller pots and our plants were a little lacking in size, so this year we decided to use 5 gallon buckets and see how they do.

Sorry, I'm too lazy to rotate this picture. This is our free polka dot plant we got the other weekend - I think it's rather cool looking.

Over the winter I managed (ok .... I planned it) to kill one of our plants and this is it's replacement. My brother and sister-in-law have one and I love it!! Also note ... Joe's star wars figurines he got from Disneyland. I am so loving this spring weather and hope it continues to hold out!!
