The Nursery

The Rose Garden

We're getting close! Only a few more

weeks! Here are some updated pictures

of me and then for you, Jenna - I went to

the Rose Garden and took some pictures.

It was lovely. :)

Memories

It's hot and humid. We were sitting around

the house lamenting about our long lost pool.

Then mom called the people who live in our

old house and asked if we could come swim and

they said "we were just thinking about how we're

going out of town and felt bad that our pool

wouldn't get used - and we were thinking about

you guys!" S0 we went swimming - just like the

old days - thanks God :)

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Seth and I were able to go to the lakes once

I was done with work on Sunday. We drove

the boat out to the middle of the lake and

watched the fireworks from there - it was

very beautiful and entertaining! :)

Micah and Paige

One of the highlights of fireworks was the boats

that would drive through all the parked boats

too quickly - everyone would yell at them, telling

them to "SLOW DOWN!" and then usually within

10 seconds or so the DNR would pull them over

and everyone would cheer and clap :)

Here are a couple videos of this happening - we

watched this happen about four times :)

Update

Well hello everyone! Just thought I'd post a

little update. So its been a very busy week for

us. Seth has broken his 4 year streak of injury

free-ness - he dislocated his shoulder on Monday

during our slowpitch softball game. He was heading

home for an in the park homerun and it was a close

play and the catcher ended up landing on him. It was

a stressful couple of minutes until it popped back into

place! And we only had his car at the game - his stickshift

car - so poor guy had to endure a pretty jerky ride home.

He's doing pretty well now - in a sling and he's not supposed

to use it much for the next two weeks - we'll see how he

does with that!

Other news - I saw an ad for an amazing plant. It's

called a bloomerang lilac bush and its a dwarf lilac

bush that blooms the entire summer!!! Sounds

amazing huh? I ordered it online in April and

FINALLY received it last week. It was much

smaller than I had anticipated - about 5 inches tall.....

So we'll see how it goes...hopefully I don't kill it

since it's so tiny and frail!

The nursery is coming along splendidly! Arlin and

Janene made us some amazing vinyl designs for

the walls - they match the bedding. It looks so great!!
