No worries...

...it fades. One of my co-workers gave me this beautiful henna tattoo. She is amazing and shared that while living in India, she entered henna competitions. I'm thinking about doing this on one of my hands for the wedding. The design you see, a peacock, is authentic to Indian weddings which represents love.

Happy Independence Day!

What a great day we had! Not only were Matt and I able to spend our first 4th as a couple together, but there were plenty of festivities to help us celebrate.

Fat, fat, fatty!

Check this yucky thing out! He's huge and no wonder...he's been feasting on the tomatoes! So yucky. I took care of him. He is now well removed from what he thought was his throne.

Ice Cream Incident

You are walking down the street, minding your own business, enjoying a pint of ice cream, when all of a sudden half the pint mysteriously jumps out of the cup and lands on your shirt. What do you do? Well, since I now have experience in this area, lick your shirt as best you can, determine you are now going to eat the entire pint despite knowing you will be sick as a dog later on and walk home with your head held high. This is done not out of pride, because if you don't, as a person with long hair, the drying ice cream on your shirt acts as glue. I'm thankful tomorrow is Friday...

Corn Hole and Badminton Rule!

The company Matt works for had a family day that actually started during work hours, pretty cool, and if you noticed, they allowed beer also. That kind of environment really builds morale. I need to change professions. :)

Some of life's lessons

We all enjoyed playing outside and getting dirty from head to toe.

At one point, we even got the boys to help weed the garden a little bit.

This weekend, most of the kids babysat the boys on and off. I spent a little time with them everyday and had a blast. On Friday, Uncle Matt and I were able to run around the front yard and show them how lightning bugs' rearends light up. Very important to know! Then Matt had a deep theological discussion with Will. Very interesting! We closed out the evening with Will informing Matt that he wants more cousins, if you know what I mean. I believe we informed him 'one day' or something to that extent. The above photos and following clips are from the fun we had on Saturday. Kids are great!

Will thoroughly enjoyed the sprinkler while Logan did not.

Yes, I'm still excited about the garden.

I say that since the majority of my posts over the last month or so have been on gardening. Those that actually look at this blog may be getting tired of looking at photos of veggies, however, I think it is all fascinating. :)

Las frutas primeras estan aqui, y mas.

I present to you the first green beans and
other items to come. Also, I've been taking a Spanish class and when I get excited I tend to speak the language.

First fruits, almost...

I can see eight tomatoes in this photo!

The beginning of a pea pod!
