God Bless America!!!!

(making banana ice cream-yummo!)

we are so thankful and blessed to live in this wonderful country! God has blessed us so abundantly. we had a great time celebrating with family and friends. kaylee was so excited to finally get to wear her "first of July dress" :) they were so cute doing their little photo shoot with me. they are growing so fast. kaylee starts preschool august 12th. koleman is wearing big boy underwear. where did my babies go? they are so wonderful!

can't we just buy our food at kroger??

men are so funny. this is our first garden venture so in my mind we are gonna have a little trial garden. well, as you can see from the pictures, my husband had a very different idea in mind! he plowed a field!!! but it's been fun. the kids love getting in there and helping. my parents always had a garden and i helped when i was little but i haven't worked in a garden since then. i am enjoying it, though. i forgot how fun it is to get my hands in the dirt. i was going to pull weeds the other day but couldn't find any. i was really impressed by how the corn was growing, though. then mike informed me that the "corn" was really johnson grass! i guess i have a little to learn about gardening...
