only 2 weeks

Only 2 weeks left until Belly transfer :)

It's kind of weird picking your baby's birthday 

and even weirder being 37 weeks preggers.

Oh How Happy! Happy Happy Happy!

{and slightly crazy, tired, and achey} 

Hang out in there baby girl, 2 weeks isn't that long to wait.

Cars & Ni-Nites

How many cars and ni-nites do you need to be able to go to bed?

Currently we need 4 ni-nites (2 main ones, "Big ni-nite" & "Blu ni-nite") 

and about 4 cars, which must include the "big red car".

Also, he likes his "fyer" (humidifier) and ceiling fan to be on as well.

But I can't complain too much, he's a really really good sleeper!

Twins?

36 Weeks

So this is what 36 weeks looks like:

dirty mirrors,

piles of laundry,

and half dressed women.

The Little Garden that Could

My favorite thing about the garden? The way the smell of the tomatoes plant lingers on my hands after I run them through the leafs.

River's favoirte things about the garden? Watering the garden with his spray bottle  & Picking the strawberries and eating them before anyone else has a chance.

Skyler's favorite thing about the garden? He requested jalepeno peppers and doesn't have to do a thing to grow them.

Charlie's favorite thing about the garden? Burying his nose in the strawberry plants and sniffing out the ripe ones. 

This is our second year planting our raised garden. I was so excited because we got a timely start this year, and I planted some of my favorites veggies, Pear tomatoes & lemon cucumbers -- only to have it ripped to shreds by giant hail storms at the beginning of the season -- Colorado weather! Erg!! But my young garden was a fighter, surviver, and thriver. I thought for sure we lost everything, and we did lose some stuff - 2 cucumber plants- but i am amazed at how wonderful everything is growing, even the pumpkin plant that struggled so in the beginning is starting to get big and stretch it's vine outside the walls. The strawberry plants have been a fun and pretty addition. It's been a fun thing for me and Riverboy to do together this summer. 

{And don't worry River didn't actually bite into the jalepeno, he knows it's "dada's hot num-num", but Skyler was a little surprised by how hot it was when he bit into it. Anyone have any good jalepeno recipes?}
