Yeah! Our garden is actually growing! I went out this afternoon to water and spotted a few new plants sprouting...EXCITING!
Here we have some strawberries...
...and some squash...for your viewing pleasure.

And in other news...Last weekend we celebrated my nephew Mikey's 1st birthday. Connie and Tim threw a great party for all of the family!

On Monday me and my sisters got together for a picnic. It was a little warm but a lot of fun watching Wyatt sacrifice his body in order to help his cousin Abbey get up on the swing. It was really cute. Oh, and yes Abbey did finally get up on that swing!
And finally, Jared had Friday off, so we woke up and took the boys out for a hike. They LOVE to hike and we could not have chosen a better day...the weather was beautiful. Our hike took a lot longer than expected due to Wyatt brushing aside all the loose cactus pieces and horse poo, but it was great fun! Good times. Here's a picture of me at 6 months...just in case you were wondering how big I am. Does anybody else's appetite like triple when they are pregnant, or is it just me? I asked Jared to order me the regular hot dog once at lunch...he asked for a bite, so I gave him one and thought to myself, "Wow! That was a big bite...I think I might still be hungry after I finish this hot dog." After I finished I wasn't stuffed, but wasn't really hungry either (because I ate so many french fries). That's when Jared decides to tell me that he actually ordered the jumbo dog for me! Wow. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, because your sooooo big! (that was typed out sarcastically) I think you look so cute pregnant Chrissy! It almost makes me want to get pregnant. I loved the pictures of Abbey and Wyatt at the park... I laughed almost as hard as when we were watching it! I love the garden pictures too, it is so amazing to watch those plants grow. Mom always loved that too. I remember her making a garden is Lakeside with the help of Grandpa Webb. She planted cucumbers. Oh, and your boys are so much like you... picking up the clutter on the trail... too funny!

You are so cute! I totally eat everything in sight when I am pregnant. (that is when I am in the feel good stage) It is justified!

Oh that makes me so anxious to have a garden, i love watching things grow. I took a lot of pictures of mine last year. Those pictures at the park are so cute. What a good boy to sacrifice for his cousin.
P.S. All food is justified when pregnant, and the more the merrier!

You look so cute! Those park pictures are so cute too! I know what you mean about the food, I have been eating so bad and so much these last couple of weeks, because I know when I have my baby I won't be able to do that anymore!

all i want is candy. i have to think this baby needs something besides sugar but i just want fruity sour candy. the other day i just sat and listened for the candy man to come during elizabeths nap because we didnt have any in the house. i felt like a 6 year old. and you are looking really cute prego!! i still feel like i look just chubby in the middle, almost pregnant looking but for now just chubby.

I am so glad somebody else has that problem too with eating. I just asked Dusty why I gain so much while I am pregnant(while I was eating)and he said cause I actually GET hungry. You look great. I think we are the same size, oh but wait, I am only 3 1/2 months. I always get soooo big when I am pregnant!

I am so excited we might both have a Levi. Yes I like the names that aren't used to often too. But not TOO strange. BTW I was not sticking out my belly, I am really that big already. I put 60 pounds on with Logan. I just say at least I can lose it afterward? I don't know what else to do. I can't starve! haha

Christine, I love all your pictures...and can I just say your camera takes great pictures... or maybe you just take great pictures. Anyway the picture of the boys on the hike with their sticks is hilarious and priceless. You look great pregnant and I love that you are nesting. Way to go with all that canning!!
