Home Grown

Kip looks like "Dopey"
Little ears!!
This spring when we moved into our new house I was soo excited to have a garden! I had my 8 month prego sister come over and till up the dirt for me...I know I sound heartless, but she asked if she could! She helped me plant some green peas and onions. The peas were great, but Mark "accidentally" tilled up the onions! A few weeks later I had my dad come "show" me how to plant tomatoes...."show" meaning he did all o the work. While my dad did the maters I planted some corn. Now, I know it shouldn't be hard to grow corn but mine started to tassel when they were only about 3 ft. tall! Mark teases me that I'm growing the baby corns that you eat with Chinese food!

Well, today I told the kids "lets go out and pick some corn to have with dinner tonight." Oh man were they excited!! They ran outside and picked the closest ear of corn to them!! Sier couldn't get just an ear off, so he ended up ripping out the whole stalk! It was great. Now I know most of you are just picturing me yelling at my kids for doing this, but it was really hilarious at how excited they were. After all,they have had a hand in helping me take care of the garden. I tried to show them how to peal back the husk and check to see if the corn was ready or not, but I was too late. The husk peels were flying everywhere! Sier was getting mad at all the "noodles" that were getting stuck all over him. Unfortunately little husks, mean little corn! The kids couldn't wait for the corn to cook, so they ate it right away. I'm not too worried because there wasn't much corn on the ears to begin with. Hopefully next year we won't get baby corns!

What time is it??

It's preschool time!! Sier's first day of "real" preschool was today! Kip calls it his "real" preschool, because he was in a little preschool program which was ran through the Early Intervention progam that he was involved in, but the smarty pants tested out of it when he was 3.

He was so excited when he woke up this morning. I told him that he was going to school today and he said "I know Mom, I'm smart now and I know that"! What a little sucker- he's smart now? I don't know where that came from!

I know Sier will do great, have lots of friends, and give Ms. Amy a run for her money! He is quite a little shit sometimes, but hey... when you're cute and funny-use it to your advantage! I love you Sier...good luck!

Kayden's 8!!

Happy Birthday Kayden!! I can't believe that you are already 8 years old. What a great age to be....old enough to get Baptised, mow the lawn, be in second grade, become a cub scout, get your four wheeler licence. Just a few things about Kayden that I love....He lets me call him Jose....He loves Sier and gives him piggy-back rides everywhere....he has beautiful eyes....he is the oldest nephew I have. Happy birthday Kayden, we love you!!

Sicko!

This is just a really fast note. Last Thursday Sier got to go have an "orientation" with his preschool teacher, Ms. Amy. He loved it....right when we got home he had to do his "homework" which was just a little paper he had to color and fill out that was about him; and he filled his little "all about me" sack with his very favorite 3 things- his batman mask, his superman cape, and his blue lightsaber. Last night when we were saying prayers he even blessed himself to have a "dood furst day at Missmiss Amy's school". Well, the poor little boy was up all night throwing up so needless to say, he didn't get to go to his first day of preschool.
