All Things Grow With Love

I love this time of year! I go out everyday to see how my perennials are changing and see what new things are popping up!



I have had my flower pots sitting out for awhile now before I actually planted anything in them and the girls have been digging in the dirt, so I thought maybe this year I will let them each have their own flower pot. So that is what I did, they each got to pick out a couple of flowers and plant their own plants. I think they really had fun doing this. I told them it is their responsibility now to water their plant and even dead head the flowers. They seem to be very excited about that! They were pretty good last year about wanting to help me water my plants and even pull some weeds, so I think they will be good little gardeners.












Myah was trying to tell me she wanted a plant from a pot that I already potted, hopefully she doesn't decide to go and dig that up one day.







So what is your favorite plant either annual or perennial?

My favorite flowers are the ones at other people's houses. You know, because they are still alive. And I don't have to worry about them. :)

Zinnias! Except they are annuals, so you have to plant them every year. But, the seeds are easy to harvest, so you don't have to spend $ every year.

I can't believe you plant in a WHITE jacket. What's up with that?

I love your pictures your new camera has been taking. I can't wait until you guys come to Indy! Calvin and Emma love to garden like their mama. We have planted sunflower seeds, zinnias and 35 perrinials this year. There are so many flowers I love, but my top three are daisies, phlox and hostas!

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts. My main reason for doing this blog was to keep in touch with our friends and family through various postings. I know that there are many of you who at one point or another have said to me that you have read our blog, I am just curious who is out there and reading this. So....in honor of our 1 year anniversary if you are reading this....please leave us a comment letting us know.
