Our First Tomato

Yay! We finally have our first tomato! We went out of town this past weekend for a wedding, and when we got back, we checked the veggie garden, and sure enough, one of our Sweet Million tomatoes was ready for pickin'. Bryden got to do the honors, and of course, she ate it right away...all she said was "Mmmmmm, it's good!" So far we are off to a good start! Five of the six bean plants we planted are growing, 2 of the four sunflowers are growing, a bunch of carrots, and all four tomato plants are still alive (yipee) and the cucumber plant is growing pretty good so far! Not too bad for our first year! Enjoy!

Belly Time Twins

So, what is the verdict, do they look alike??? Everyone thinks so, I definitely see similar features, the nose especially, and I think Emmy will have the same chin as Bryden! Enjoy!

Goofy Girl

Here are some goofy pics of Bryden...she's wearing Emmy's pants on her head! P.S...That shiny stuff all around her mouth, yeah, that's lip gloss, such a beauty queen we have on our hands. Oh, funny story quick too, tonight, I was packing for a wedding we have this weekend, and I was trying to figure out what to wear to the wedding. Bryden, the little fashionista that she is, says (as she is laying in bed ready to sleep) "Um, when you decide which dress to wear, leave it on my bed so I can look at it last year, OK?"...First of all, she picks out what she is going to wear to school the next day and lays it on the bottom of the bed , so it made total sense to her for me to lay it on her bed so she could see it in the morning (95% of the time she decides not to wear what she picked out the night before!!!) and Second of all, she gets really confused on the concept of time, last night, tomorrow, last year, next year...they all mean the same thing to her! I guess she thinks I need her approval for what to wear, but, to be fair, I picked out two dresses and asked which one she thought would look better...I did end up packing the one she picked :o) Enjoy the pics!






And of course, an angelic picture!

Strawberry Pickin'

We went up to Wintergreen last night for the evening to get away and enjoy the mountains. On the way up we saw signs for Strawberry picking, so we decided to stop today for a fresh pick. It is toward the end of pickin season, so we had to search pretty hard to find some, but we got about 6 small baskets of decent strawberries. They we small in size, but huge in taste, yummy! We are going to try to go back in a couple weeks for cherries and peaches! Enjoy the pics!

Flyin' High

Up at Wintergreen, they have a kids area that has jump-arounds, rock climbing and trampoline bungee jumping. Bryden wanted to try the trampoline jump, so they got her hooked up and she was soaring as high as the trees...and LOVED every minute of it! Enjoy!

Waiting patiently...and a little tired!


Getting strapped in!


Almost my turn!



Whoa...on my way up up and away!

High in the sky and LOVING it!

Miles of Smiles

Emerson is really smiling a ton now and is so interactive. She is babbling and hollerin, it is so funny! She really sounds like she is carrying on a conversation with us when we ask her questions. She sits in her high chair when I am making food in the kitchen and just carries on and on the whole time I am cooking...hilarious!

Lazy Sunday

Look at these two cute buddies! Hanging out on the couch on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon...Precious! We love how Emmy is holding on to Bryden's arm, like she has her little arm wrapped around her big sister! Enjoy!




















Oh my Gosh!!! Even more cute...I posted the first pic, went to the bathroom, and by the time I got back, this is what I found on the couch! It made me tear up it is so dang precious! We are so blessed to have two such loving, beautiful children!
