lazy may and june days

The coming of July means Grayson will soon be three months old and that I will soon be returning to work. The older I get the faster time passes.  My blog remains sadly devoid of the picture filled, witty posts meant to amaze and astound family and friends of how we so easily handled the transition from a family of 4 to a family of 5. While I didn't fulfill my lofty dreams of cramming these precious days together with fun and adventure for Kyle and Emily, and my house looks more disastrous lived in then ever, I have a ton of pictures to remind me of everything we did do together, likesuchas (my newly discovered favorite phrase from a blog I faithfully stalk):

Kyle super slamming the basketball in itty bitty sports

 ...learning amazing ball handling skills

 ....cheering Kyle on

 

.....fishing at OWLS pond



 ...visits from super heroes

 ....brother bonding time

 ...going on a bear hunt at the zoo

 ...life from a prairie dog's point of view

 ...being cute

...sprinkler fun

...strolls in the neighborhood

 ...never ending yard work

...playground fun

 

....and this one has been busy growing up so fast

 

grannie's garden

I will always remember the garden that took up most of the backyard at my grandparents' house. They grew everything! Grandma used to give me a plastic shopping bag and send me out to pick snap peas and green beans. Usually by the time we got home most of them were gone, happily eaten during the car ride home.

Grannie spends a lot of time every summer tending her organic garden on the south side of town and we were lucky to be able to join her this weekend and help her with the start of this year's garden

 

 

 Now if the gophers and bunnies stay away we will be munching on peas, purple beans, red, orange, and yellow carrots and have tomatoes and beets aplenty to can for the winter!
