THE PARK-AND OTHER STUFF

We sure do love the park!! In fact, the park is one of the reasons we decided to even purchase our home. It's a pretty big deal to have a park within walking distance of your house (at least we think so). Well, last week after making a quick stop at the local Water n' Ice for some good ole' Thrifty bubble gum ice cream, me and the boys stopped at the park. I happened to have my camera with me and was glad that I did! It turns out that my little guys weren't the only ones having fun at that park this particular day...This grandma proves that the park is for all shapes, ages, and sizes!! I first spotted her getting ready to slide down the slide, but I couldn't get my camera out in time. Wyatt and Luke couldn't stop watching her. Wyatt kept asking me what she was doing.Much to her daughters dismay she decided to try out the tire swing. The best part was when she was getting out! I'm pretty sure I had just as much fun watching her as she did playing.
Our attempt at a garden--take 2
So, you probably don't remember last year when I blogged about our garden. It's OK. We got like one squash out of it. Well, this year is going to be different. Check out that cool garden box that Jared and his dad made for us! I am expecting lots of vegetables from this one... And lots of strawberries and tomatoes from this one...
So that next time I can bottle some of these...but from our garden.And finally, here we are at a Coyotes hockey game last week! Go Yotes (that's what they call out--sounds funny to me). I have only been to one other hockey game years ago, and I wasn't much of a fan. But, this was actually a really good game and we had a good time with Jared's brother Ladd and his wife Janet.

I LOVE hockey, how fun! Go ahead a steal names, maybe we will call our new little one Wyatt :) I think I have officially run out of my own. The swing story is hilarious. I love how my boys point out some "not so politically correct" things sometimes.

Nice garden boxes...keep us updated on how green your thumb is this year! Oh, and we are huge hockey fans...I am jealous you got to go to a game!

I am amazed at all the canning you have done. Very inspirational. We are trying to get our food storage bulked up too. It is amazing when you have kids how much more that counsel means to you. That woman playing at the park was hilarious!

I laughed so hard at the Grandma playing at the park. I can just see the boys staring at her with Wyatt asking "what is she doing?" I think it is even funnier because you would have been just like your boys when you were little. And you were brave enough to take a picture of her! I'm jealous you did the carrots with out me! But now you can tell me exactly how to do them!

Hi Christine,
Joanna's here teaching me how to respond to your posts. The fat lady reminds me of myself, so I won't comment on her! But I will respond about my beautiful grandchildren! They are. I'm impressed with your foods that canned in my canner. Lonnie's pouting that she's not getting a turn!
