The "Veggies" of our Labors

We had the great experience to plant a garden together as a family.
What a great inspiration form our Prophet.
Our garden was planted along our back fence.
We had previously laid weed block and bark down, so that did have to be removed.
The spot was just the right size tho.
The family was able to work together to cultivate the ground, plant the seeds,
watch the sprouts grow, pull weeds, water, and then eat the veggies.
Peas, Cucumbers, Green Beans, and Carrots.
Each one of us in the family got to choose a veggie to plant, and that they would eat,
when it was ready to harvest.
Ben and Nic chose cucumbers. Josh and Chris chose green beans.
Tim chose carrots. I chose peas.
Our little garden has been perfect. Just the right size.
Everyone has enjoyed eating the veggies.
It is so cute to see the boys go out and come running in to tell me, or show me,
how something has grown since the last time they saw it.
We are looking forward to planting again next year.
Maybe expand on our variety to include tomatoes, potatoes.
(onions and peppers have been suggested, we will see)
Enjoy the pictures!!

Toothless AGAIN

Nic lost his second tooth.
He came and showed me it was bleeding, a little. He had been trying to pull it with his fingers and couldn't get a hold of it. So I asked if I could tie a string around it and let him pull. This had been a big issue before. He had said he did not want a string tied around it because he was afraid I would tie the string around the door knob and shut the door(wonder where he got that idea). So after I pinky swore(our personal promise) that I would not tie the string around the door and let him pull the string himself, I got the string around the tooth. It was just hanging there, so ready to just have a little help. One little tug and out it came. He was shocked, first that is came out so easy and second that it didnt hurt.
The tooth fairy come the next morning and gave him a $1.00 bill(cheap tooth fairy), but he was excited. We went to the dollar store and he bought his own toy.
Made him feel good he paid for it himself.
No more loose teeth for a while. But will keep you posted.
