Let's get Cooking

I made two of theses great aprons for myself, and helped Hannah make one, and then I just had to make some for Imogene. I sized down the pattern and this is the result:

She loves her apron, she feels all grown up and asks to where it any time she "helps" in teh kitchen.

Xander's Game

Freecycle is just AWESOME! Xander got his own chess set from a fellow freecycler and he has been playing as often as he can get someone to play with him, often he will play both sides himself.

(Now if only Imogene could learn and MiMi wouldn't try to eat the pieces.)

Soldier Hollow

I had some older pictures kicking around that I wanted to get up so here they are:

An evening of tubing of Soldier Hollow with the Tayler family.

I HATE tubing so I didn't get a ticket for me, but the kids had a great time going down with Adam, Josh & Kayce, Nephi & Mercedes, and Hannah.

I know it's dark so you can't really see who is who just trust me when I say that they are family!

Imogene

MiMi

She couldn't go down the hill, but she had a great time being pulled around at the bottom of the hill. The only time she got cold was when she kept wiggling her fingers out of her gloves and her snowsuit.

The Amazing Adventures

Xander has been asking since he set up his blog for it to be public, so with some strict rules, his blog can now be viewed by any of you who would like to see it. He writes about his school projects and anything else he is thinking about, so feel free to check him out. (in the side bar: The Amazing Adventures of Xander

Gardening

We planted most of our garden Saturday, but we started with Adam trimming the apple tree

Here is the before of the garden:

Halfway finished:

The result in the front yard:

(still a lot of work to get done here, and i plan on putting some tomatoes in here as soon as we add some topsoil to fill in the holes)

The garden in the back:

(this brick used to live in the front yard, but we didn't like the shaped garden so we moved the bricks and luckily had the perfect amount to line the back garden)

We have broccoli, chocolate peppers, red peppers, purple potatoes, and two kinds of watermelon.

In the front I will put in Roma tomatoes and Pumpkins.

We also have a few hanging planters (DIY topsy turvy) for tomatoes and peppers.
