A few random shots....

Well, I've tried a few times now to load pictures of when mom was here...and then I go to view blog after I'm done and it's completely the wrong pictures. Why would it do that. No idea. Anyhoo, I'm sick of trying- I just get mad, so I'll just have to get em on facebook soon cause there were some cute ones and we had a really good time. =)

Last night Ry and I headed to the windy city to enjoy the night life for a change. hahhaaa. JUST KIDDING. Richard and Heather were in town for their anniversary and a wedding later this weekend so we hopped on over and hit up some Giordono's Pizza and some ice cream and a walk around a park/fountain thing between Mich Ave and the lake. It was a blast. They're the kind of friends you can go for a long time without seeing and then jump right back into it like you didn't even miss a day. SIGH ... So great. Heather took a few shots, but guess who forgot her camera. Dang it. If you know ryan and I at all, you would know that the city doesn't really call our names all that often, but it is still fun to get there a couple times a year just to see and do things that we can't here. Amber and I always joke about this difference between us, but I'm happy being me and happy that she's who she is too. God has made us uniquely different and we can both appreciate that. =) All that to say, THANKS Clabaughs for including us on your anniversary get-away...always great to see you!

Meanwhile back in lovely SW Mich, here is what you get when you leave your child for a few seconds too long after almost all the food is gone on his plate. sick dude....what were you thinking?!?! haha


And then there's the beauty queen. If she's half as funny as her brothers, we're in for a LOT of laughs!!

Garden!!

Well, this is really for erin cause she's been asking to see pictures of the garden. Here she blows in all her glory!!

I will say this. I have NO CLUE what I'm doing. =) Heather and I split a bunch of seed packets, so I have onions, lettuce, carrots, yellow and zucchini squash, cucumbers, cilantro, and basil. The tomatoes are from starter plants... garlic and regular chives and rhubarb come back every year. Awesome. We've already enjoyed some grilled zucchini the other night (ryan grilled THE BEST chicken he's ever made- holy cow) and pretty sure we'll have waaaay more then we can eat of all the other stuff....mostly the yellow squash. Sydney's bout to get some great veggies for her meals. mmmm! But seeing how much room things take up and how much they produce, I'll be able to adjust the set-up MUCH better next year....so things don't get swallowed up by the squash plants. hahaa

It's so much fun to have a garden and it smells GREAT out there!! Hope you all have some good food growin in your back yards too!
