Chilling with Kilgers

I love that Katie takes after her dad, and is so good about taking pictures.  Here are a few she snapped this last Sunday while we were all visiting at the Kilger's home:

Breanne is such a ham.

Janey and Claire (2 months apart to the day) sitting with Grandma... Janey doesn't look so sure about this one...

Janey, mid happy squeal

Breanne and Kelly, building a big block tower

Claire and Breanne, trying to share marshmallows, I bet.

Still Hoping for an Artist

So Breanne was supposed to be finishing her nap in her aunt Kelly's room, but when we heard her yelling to come out, we found this instead:



Yes, that is nail polish. At least 4 different colors. And it was all over her legs, arms, and a little bit was on her face. I felt so sick and had such a headache by the time I finished getting it off! Upside? Breanne now has a shirt to wear for painting and other projects that I don't care about getting messy. And this time it was someone else's bedding instead of her own...

And now one for Dad...

I saw this on a friend's blog, and it immediately screamed my dad's name.  So hopefully he reads this, or someone at least shows it to him.  :)

My (other) Pride and Joy

Ok, so back in May I took pictures of my garden spot, but haven't really posted anything about it since then--well, now I am seeing results, and am so excited about it! Here are a few shots...

Yellow pear tomatoes, almost ready to pick...

First edible early girl! So excited!

My happy happy cantelope vines... see all those yellow flowers? Here's hoping they turn into fruit, and soon!

Yellow Zucchini--yes, it is zucchini, I chose yellow because my mom told me it was the easier way to notice them so they didn't grow so huge... yet I let mine get this big... on purpose! Zucchini bread, here I come!

Also happy are the daisies,

and the coneflowers, in the front bed.

Here is today's picking... So excited!

And this was my best attempt at capturing for you just how delicious this tomato was as I was salting it and eating it. Unfortunately, my camera just wanted to focus in on the sink. But I think you get the idea.

I am seriously so excited that my garden is actually doing well! Other veggies growing--pumpkins, corn, peppers, watermelon, and beans (which are really struggling because something is eating them something fierce!) More pictures to come--I took all these at 2:00 in the afternoon, so everything is a little wilty, which I didn't want to show off, so maybe I'll take a few when everything is big and full tonight.

I see a resemblance, do you?

I Got a Haircut (I really got a haircut...)

Does anyone else ever hear that song from probably the Disney Channel back in the day running through their heads when they hear the line "I got a haircut"?

Back to the point--

this:


subtract this:



equals this:




I really wanted a change, and my hair was starting to fall out in clumps (post pregnancy wonder), so I decided to chop off a bunch. I wasn't going to go quite so short, but I decided to donate it, and wanted to be sure it'd be long enough for that, so this is what happened. Whaddaya think?

This one's for you, Mom.

A few weeks ago, my mom basically requested this photo on her blog, so when Janey reached out and grabbed Breanne's hand for the first time, I thought I'd snap a photo of it.

This is How We Roll

So Janey's been rolling since she was about 3 months. Yes, I know, that's way early, but she's always liked sleeping on her side, so she figured out how to get there herself, and then just kept going. Anyway, here she is in action:

Bread as a Snack?

You Betcha!
