Sgt. Pepper



I've been in denial that I have a garden the past 2 weeks or so....so when I went out today I fully expected dead plants. Instead, I got full plants....full of peppers! These are the 2 big tubs I filled from picking. Big Jims and Bell peppers mostly, with an eggplant or 2. So, if you want some, call me or come get them before they go bad this weekend. I also audibly gasped when I saw 2 little tomato buds growing on one of my 2 remaining plants (I planted 14 tomato plants this year....*sigh* only 2 remain and have produced zilch). Needless to say, I feel very blessed today from my spot of dirt. *disclaimer* only 2 tomato worms were harmed in the processing of these peppers....but the chickens are happy now ;)

Adam's freakin' cute!!!

Adam has been developing his sense of humor. One night while eating he decided this was funny. Of course, as his mom, I did too.

Obsessed


Ok, so a few months ago my friend introduced me to the "Twilight" series....with the added warning "it's about vampires but it's really good." This being the first time I had ever even heard of it (I know...I know....where have I been?)....I thought "vampires...hmmm....ok....well, I'll try it out." I'm not much of a sci-fi type person to say the least, but out of courtesy I started reading the 1st book. Exactly 5 days later I finished that book....and it's not a small one if you didn't know. And thus began an obession. I find myself craving even the tinest bit of info. about the whole series....feeling completely idiotic at the same time. Luckily, since I was fairly late on jumping on the Twi-wagon I was able to go from book to book without the dreaded wait so many others experienced. I breazed through all 4 books within a month and half's time (and that was using self-restraint to do other things as well). and now I'm reading the Edward-side of thing via Stefanie Meyer's website (yes, I couldn't resist). I just have to laugh at myself because from a distance this seems completely silly....but if you've read the books you'd understand. They are intriguing for some reason and I can't help but wish my husband was an Edward sometimes....ha ha ha ha. Well...I will be going to the movie when it comes out. I've watched the trailer a dozen times already. So, if anyone else is interested, we should make it a group effort when that blessed day comes. Yes, obsessed is the right word right now.

Simple life




I love how our lil' 17-month-old Adam takes joy in the simple things of life....he reminds me to stop, breath, laugh a little more, and enjoy my simple life just by being himself. What a great blessing he is in our lives!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM!

Reunions











Oh what do you do in the summertime when all the world is green? Visit with family of course, and catch up on eachother's lives. We had the McLaws reunion at Jacob's Lake (the usual) towards the end o' July, and the Austin reunion (Mike's mom's fam) last weekend in Ogden. It was nice to catch with all who could come. Here's a few token shots.

Little Shi Tzu


We got another puppy from our neighbor Ray. A little Shi Tzu like the last one. Her name is Sadie . Everyone say "Welcome Sadie"
Adam like to get into her water and food dishes.....hence, his first experiences with "time out".
