Planting

Time for potatoes and tomatoes to go in the ground in the big garden!

"Many hands make light work"

Micah David thought he would taste the mulch and make sure it was good enough for the plants!

 The day we planted the tomatoes there were clouds in the sky making it cool and beautiful outside!

 Jared is pretty proud of his photography skills.

 Molly, Jack and Koda play ball while the guys work.

 Koda is getting really big! He's been a good dog while Joylin was gone but I think he'll be glad to have her back.

"Mmm I can't wait till these cantalope are ready to eat!"

In Honor of Our Blogger, Joylin!

I think it's time to recognize who has been doing the blogging all these years! As a blogger, it's easy to post pictures of everyone else and a little hard to find pictures of yourself that fit your description of "good enough", so we don't see nearly enough pictures of Joylin. Just to let you know how much we appreciate you, Joylin...

Joylin is a beautiful, fun, amazing and precious sister, daughter, aunt and friend!

Joylin can make ordinary moments extraordinary,

she has many different expressions,

she can cook (even though she'll tell you she's not good at it,)

has unique ideas,

poses with baking supplies ;),

LOVES her dog, Koda,

she works hard,

is an extremely talented person and can do most anything she makes up her mind to do, including scrapbooking, sewing, clothing designing, carpentry, and much much more,

and she can take a nap at almost any place. ;-) As you can tell, we are all so thankful she is a part of our family or life wouldn't be quite as fun. We love you, Joylin and hope you and Jaylon are having a wonderful time in PA!
