Watch the garden grow. Part 1.

So we finally planted our garden last week and it's already sprouting like crazy!!! I am so excited to beable to eat fresh veggies this summer!!  One thing i thought of recently is that we don't have any fruit trees, i would love to beable to walk outside and get an apple or something, HA! Oh! Maybe make jelly from plums or something like that would be awesome!   We have our eggs now, that is a new thing this year, our chickens. . .

So here are the kids planting some zucchini seeds. . . here is James squatting covering his with dirt. .

And here is Sammy poking her little seed in the dirt with her finger. . . . 

And she decided she was going to cover up her seed with her pink crutch. . . . . lol, so cute!

So Jamie and I planted the majority of our garden last week and it is sprouting like it's going out of style. . . so i took some pictures, so we can watch the progress. . . .

this is yellow squash. . umm umm , can't wait for those babies to start producing. . .

Green beans. . . .

This is just showing Jamie's rows, lol. . . they are mostly straight, i guess. . .

this is a close up of a single sprig of corn peeking out !

Gardening is so much fun, it's work to keep it up, but you get to eat right out of your back yard, or heck some people plant in pots and go out on their deck or front porch and get 'em a mater. . .Plus, the kids learn a lot and they like to participate.

Thanks for reading. . . More to come tomorrow on more things in our back yard :)  . . . .

The Chicken Dance.

We have eggs coming out of our ears! It's awesome though, if I'm hungry, I'll just go fry up an egg, slap it on some bread, add cheese, and there you go! A high protein, wholesome snack. 

Here is Sam, trying to sneak up on a chicken to pet it. She gets mad when they run off.

Now it's a game.

Still trying. . . .

This is the most awesome thing in the world for a kid! Riding on the tractor!!! I remember doing that with my grandma and grandpa when i was little. This is a Daddy's Girl!!

We worked on our garden yesterday, i will post pics when everything starts coming up.

We planted corn, green beans, tomatoes, okra, yellow squash, lettuce, spinach, radishes, pickling cucumbers, zucchini. I think that's it. . . .

Can't wait for that either!!! It's making my mouth water.

On a different note, James has been playing t-ball. At first he really whined about it and acted like the bat was really heavy and fell on the ground like he was just sooooo tired, and just couldn't do it. He is doing great at it now! Thank goodness! He had his first game last weekend. He was so excited, he hit the ball into the outfield!

The following is a collection of James' favorite t-ball poses.

Acting like he's paying attention. . .

Chicken Scratch. . . .

Ready to run. . .

Ballerina. . .

Crouching Tiger or the pee pee dance, not sure on that one. . . .

Chillin' with hands in pockets. . .

Twist and shout or pretending to be Mario,

that's a tough one. . .

This is the whole team running across the field to catch 1 ball and throw it to 1st base!

This is James' cheerleader!
