Hailey Turns 1

The Garden Groweth

We've been enjoying the garden this year. This picture is a little outdated now, but we've had tons of lettuce, beans, zucchini, cucumber, and basil. Just waiting on the tomatoes and peppers now.

Hunter has become the master weeder. It took him a while to learn what not to pull, but once he got the hang of it, he's easily pulled 50+ weeds all by himself.

Pesto pizza. Better than 360 Pizzeria.

Homegrown pesto, beans, and zucchini.

The hat helps keep him cool when he's weeding.

Behold the Garden

It's been about 30 days since we posted a picture of our garden. During those 30 days, Hunter has pulled a few plants, walked on a few other ones, and thrown the ball at others, but we still have life. The garden is coming along nicely, and we've already harvested about 5 heads of lettuce.

(Note to self: next year, use starts for peppers and tomatoes. They are taking forever to grow.)

Fumi II

Just got back from a spectacular 3-day family reunion in Lincoln City, OR. We had perfect weather, the location was stellar, and there were no (major) injuries.

More images to come (not enough time tonight)...

We have life!

We still have a ways to go before we don't have to buy groceries, but this little garden is well on its way. We've got lettuce, peppers (three kinds), beans, basil, tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, and squash.

(Our harvest is 100% contingent upon Hunter not stomping on all the little plants. We're considering setting up the electrical fence to block him off.)

Swings

I don't know if we would survive without them...

Piano

I think he has some natural ability...

Memorial Day

Memorial Day was fun. It ended with a bonfire at Grandpa's and Grandma's house...and smores.

A Different Perspective

Andrea took some great shots of Hailey, eye level. It was interesting to look at everything from her vantage point. It makes you appreciate the view from up above.

Papa's Touch

Dad isn't necessarily known for having soft hands. But man does he have the touch with Hunter. Hunter rarely sits still, but when he's getting a little love from Papa, he will sit there forever (even through an entire baptism!).
