Just Me and Cody



It's Scout Camp week!

That means it is just me and Cody

ALL WEEK LONG!

 



The first night we stayed up until 3:30

in the morning painting.  He painted flying

weenie dogs while I did butterfly work.

His masterpieces!

We even took a day to head out to

see the new Jurassic World movie.

But FIRST he had a craving for

On The Border fajitas.

Oh and we FOR SURE had to have

a day of JAWS!  Cody's favorite!

It's tradition!



Cody also LOVES peaches!

I thought we would spend one day

taking a little road trip.  We headed to

a little fruit stand a little over an hour

away for the best fresh peaches.

We took the dogs and planned on

heading to a near by lake afterwards

to let them run around

things didn't work out so well though.

There was goat head stickers EVERYWHERE!

And lots of signs that said No Dogs.

Bummer!

 

We decided to head home and take

the dogs to run and play at the river.

They of course loved it!

She's giving me the evil eye after

I gave her a bath from all her river play.

She's a brat!

 

And just like that our time was over.

This week was ALL about Cody!

I know he loved every minute of it

almost as much as I did.

Scout Camp Part 2

 

 

and of course there were fun and games!

and craziness!

 

 

We got them some goodies and made

them some cards for a welcome home.

 

KC posted this on his instagram

and it made me so proud of him!

I am so glad that the boys have him

for a dad.  He is amazing!

He was put on this earth to

be my boys dad!  I couldn't have

picked a better one.



Scout Camp Part 1

My handsome boys are heading of

to scout camp.  Thankfully KC was able

to sign up through a volunteer program

at his work and spend the whole week

there with Ry.  Thank goodness!

It made things sooo much easier

and all the boys in Ry's patrol

loved having him there.

 

Loading the trailer

and saying goodbyes



and of course goofing around

 

 

Ry did AMAZING on his

archery merit badge.

 

He was the talk of the camp.



KC made sun tea for all the leaders.

He had to send me a picture.

He was so proud of himself.

 

On the third night of camp

Rylee's patrol signed up to do

the Wilderness Survival merit badge.

You basically go out in a part of camp

that is secluded with nothing but

the clothes on your back and you have

to spend the night.  KC made the boys

these "belts" so they could at least

have some rope to help build them

a little shelter.  Smart thinking!

 

I was not wanting Rylee to do this!

He was excited though.

He called me before they headed out

to talk to me one last time just in case

he got carried off by wolves.

That kid! 

Then KC sent all the parents this little

joke he made!  Not funny.

Ok ~ a little funny.

 

He snuck over and checked on

them a few times that night.

He said they did great making their

little shelter and they didn't have any

problems at all.  He was very proud

of them.

Garden Update ~ 9 weeks

My garden is looking pretty good!

I am super proud of myself.

All of my plants I started from

seed and they have not disappointed.

 



Lots of peppers getting ready

for picking.

and lots of tiny cherry tomatoes.

I see a lot of salad and sushi

on our date ish night dinners.

 

No tomatillos yet.

It's big and looking nice and

healthy with lots of yellow

blooms though.

 

Tomatoes on the window seal just

says summer to me.

 



Marigold plants with my

tomato plants are coming in strong.

Lettuce and Green Onions

in my little swimming gardens.

I am very happy with how these

gardens are coming up.  I was worried

for a while.

Watermelon and Cantaloupe!

I'm really excited for these.

Never planted either one before

so it will be interesting.

 

And here is our weeds...

I mean carrots.  This one is a bit

neglected.  The big dog always

chooses to poop right by and sometimes

even in this one.  It's gross.  We are working

on a gate to gate this area off.

Until then, I am just letting everything grow

in here.
