Where did our summer go??

We are in single digits for our

Jamaica Trip!

In 8 days we will be heading

to spend 7 glorious days at

this place!



 

We are beyond ready and way

beyond excited!

Everything is Jamaica...

Even my coffee.  :)

 

 

Cousins came to play for
a couple of days this week.
The boys loved every minute
of it.  I even got to hold
sweet sweet Brynlee!
Without. Her. Crying. 
She really loves me now!
We spent lots of time together.

We picked our first

cucumber and are

still getting bowls full

of tomatoes every day.

 

I love it!  I'm going to miss

gardening when the fall comes.

Carrots are tricky!

How do you know when they

are ready to be picked?

How do you know if there

is even anything growing under

those beautiful green tops?

 

Rylee just couldn't wait any longer

he had to peek at just one.

And look!!...

They are growing!!

We have had lots of little grasshopper
visitors these last few days.

One of the things I kept reading

before starting our garden

was that tomatoes love

to be planted with marigolds.

So I planted marigolds from seed

in every corner of our garden.

Look how they have grown!

They are out growing my

tomato plants.

 

I think next year I might

plant most of my flowers from

seed.  They seem to grow

better and are WAY cheaper.

KC will like that part.

 

 

Every morning Rylee
comes and snuggles in bed
with me.  Every Morning!
We always try to sneak
in a selfie before the dogs
attack us.  Do you see me in
there?  I'm there just under all
the dogs.  Sometimes it doesn't
work so well.

 

KC saw this rainbow cloud at
work.  Strangely enough we saw
one when we were headed to his
moms funeral and then this one
exactly one week to the day later.

 

Cody found him a Coke with

his name on it!

He's been looking all summer.

 

Where in the heck has summer gone?

I tell you what...

I'm not ready for school to start!

At All!!!

We have enjoyed our lazy

summer days!

I have loved the past few
evening rain storms.
I love the rain!

 

And we have this boy!

He had friends over and ended

up staying up until 5:30 in

the morning.  One last end of

summer hoorah!  He did not want

to get up for his early morning

haircut.  Penny was just there

for moral support. She's lazy like that.
