My garden!!

So Rod helped me put together a garden this year and I can't believe how well everything is growing. I am very proud of it. We have had radishes and lettuce so far and they were delicious. My radishes are pretty much done but my tomatoes, peppers, onions and lettuce are just starting to take off, I actually even have one zucchini that has blossomed, it is so cute. Last night for dinner Rod and I had lettuce wraps from the garden with Chicken, shredded carrots, sesame dressing and peanut sauce, it was so delicious, Rod was extremely impressed and told me he would eat them again!! Bonus. Here are a few pictures of the garden and how well it's growing.

Stephanie - oh so pregnant!!!!

Ok, So I keep getting asked by friends of mine how my sister is doing and what she looks like! So, I just got a recent picture of her and I just couldn't resist. Stephanie - you really do look cute!

Stephanie is due on July 19th with her second child and her and Riley are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a baby boy or girl. Can you believe that they didn't find out the sex of the baby - it is driving me nuts!!! Cole keeps asking Stephanie if the baby is going to come out of her tummy and he is ready to help feed and change the new baby! She looks adorable and really tiny for about to have a baby. Love you Stephanie! I attached a family picture of Riley, Stephanie & Cole also becuase most of you haven't seen them for a while! Have a great day!

New Superman bike

On Saturday Charter Pointe Sub had their annual yard sale so Rod and I walked around to a few of the houses and find this awesome Superman bike just Caden's size. She was only asking $5.00 for it so we snagged it up. Rod adjusted the seat on it and Caden can fit on it, he just hasn't figured out how to pedal, he wanted Rod to do it for him. We will keep working with him though. He sure likes to sit on it!

Trip to Hermiston!

Father's Day Weekend!

For Father's Day weekend Rod, Caden and I headed out of town to Hermiston to visit Rod's dad & Sandy. We had a great time. We got there about 9:00 on Friday night and just hung out. Caden and grandpa had a great time playing together. Grandpa let Caden play on the piano so that kept him very entertained. On Satuday we got up and headed over to a really nice park and let Caden play for about an hour. We went and had lunch at a Chinese Restaurant with Ralph's brother Dave and his daughter Tammy and her two kids. We then went back to Ralph & Sandy's since we were all pretty tired and Caden needed a nap. We got up around 4:30 and got the boat ready and headed off to Pendleton where we went fishing. I am happy to say that I caught the first fish, but I think that Grandpa and Caden caught the biggest fish. We caught 35fish in all; 5 perch and 30 croppy (sp). Grandpa let Caden drive the boat on the way back to shore and he thought that was pretty neat. Grandpa and Caden were best buddies over the weekend, Caden didn't really want anything to do with Rod or I, everything was about Grandpa - it was cute. We went to church on Sunday and then out to eat at Shari's and then we headed back home. We stopped in Parma on our way through to say hi to Caden's other grandparents and to wish Steve a Happy Father's Day. Caden got Rod a gift certificate for 18 holes and golf cart at Boise Ranch Golf Coarse so Rod was really excited about that. We had an awesome weekend. I have pictures but I left my camera at Pat & Steve's house on Sunday so I will upload them as soon as I get it back. In the mean time here is a picture of Rod, Caden & I last week when we went hiking and had had a picnic at Camel's Back park.

Weekend in Cottonwood

Rod, Caden and I went to Cottonwood on Friday evening to visit my parents and see my sisters. My sister Stephanie is only has 7 weeks left of her pregnancy and she looks great. She has only gained 10 pounds and doesn't look like she is going to have a baby or anything. Cole and Caden played really well together - the best they have ever played together. Caden is just getting bigger and plays more with Cole. Cole tries to boss him around and sometimes Caden listens and other times he doesn't. I have learned from this weekend that Cole is afraid of bugs, everytime we were outside he was start screaming at the ants, he thought they were going to get him, it was kind of cute, so Caden would walk around and stomp on them for him!! We had family pictures taken on Saturday, Cole and Caden got their's taken and then we had pictures of the 6 of us and then of the 4 girls, it was really nice. I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as we did.
