Garden??

Casey and I are buying the lot across the street from our house and I guess Cael and I will try and plant a garden over there. I don't know very much about gardening, but I'm going to take good notes and have real low expectations. I'm expecting it to take several years to figure out, if I ever do figure it out. Right now I think you could go buy canned vegetables on a case lot sale cheaper than you can grow your own, but I think there will come a time that won't be the case anymore and I want to already know how to grow one myself.

 

So far my neighbor has come and tilled my ground for me with his tractor. I have planted tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower starts in the house. I will probably plant my peas, spinach, kale, and lettuce outside this weekend. 

 

I am also planning on planting carrots, potatoes, onions, corn, beans, a couple kinds of squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins. My neighbor's daughter might plant some beets there and my other neighbor is going to give me some raspberry starts from her garden.

 

A couple other ideas we have been throwing around to use our space are chickens, pigs, and Christmas Trees. It will also be nice to have the steel building. Its going to be interesting!

14 months

To say he keeps me on my toes in an understatement. This is one wild little boy. 14 months is a lot of fun and crazy. Cael has learned how to turn the water on in the tub, and throw things in the tub to get wet. He loves going outside and cries every time we have to go inside. He warms up to adults pretty quick but absolutely loves playing with kids.

He likes to sing and dance. He likes playing with balls and I think he will probably want to play sports. He can say a lot of words but I still have to ask him to say them. The only thing he consistently says on his own is "hi" and waves. We have been working on please, thank you, and I love you. He will say "momma" and point and me and I will say "Cael" and he will point at himself.

He's getting to be a little more picky about what he eats but he still likes eggs and cheese. He also really likes ham and will eat some meat. He ate broccoli the other day and didn't spit it out. He isn't too fond of vegetables lately but is pretty good at eating fruit. He likes not so healthy food: pizza, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Tearing the pantry apart. I left him home with daddy for awhile and he got in to the flour. Casey said he was throwing it in the air and was down on his belly rolling in it and spreading it around with his hands. I got a text from Casey saying "I can't handle this kid". 

Gun Room

Casey got his gun room all organized this weekend. Its all done except for some industrial carpet he is putting in there because the concrete is so cold and the de-humidifier this week. He is also building a reloading bench where he can reload his ammunition and the shelves for my cold food storage. He also spent some time showing me how to use all his guns: pistols, shotguns, rifles, and his AR. He has showed me before and I have shot a little but I needed a refresher and need to spend more time shooting.

Easter 2013

We had a two weekend Easter and Cael had a lot of fun. Easter weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa Wade's house for dinner with Cooper, Meghan, and Clay.

So we went to Grandma and Grandpa Price's General Conference weekend for dinner and an Easter egg hunt with all of the cousins. Cael had a lot of fun playing with the other kids. They decorated their Easter buckets while Casey and some of the other guys went outside and hid the candy and eggs and then we turned them loose.
