Toy Story

I was busy this afternoon making peanut butter bars for a family party tonight. I was so pleased that Taylee was being so good and letting me work uninterrupted in the kitchen. I figured it was because she was busy with her little project. She was running back and forth from her bedroom to the dining room table, stashing toys under the table. I figured it was worth the mess just to get my baking done.

When I went to put her down for a nap, I found she had a much bigger project going on. This is what she was really doing while I was baking!

She sure looks like a spoiled little girl from these photos!

P.S. Jen - I changed some of the settings in my comments section. Maybe this will allow you to post comments? Let me know if it helps.

How old?!

Last week Kent took me to St. George to celebrate my birthday. We had a nice relaxing vacation away. We started with a little golf at Dixie Red Hills.You can't tell me that this view isn't impressive?!

He showered me with gifts . . .

He took me to not one, but TWO shows at Tuacahn. For a guy who doesn't like musicals, he was

a darn good sport about sitting through both Grease, and Little Mermaid!

I only caught him dozing once or twice . . . ;)

We returned home to even more birthday fun. Nana and Poppie took us all out to Olive Garden for my birthday. YUMMY!

Then they spoiled me with some new scrubs and a new 56 degree wedge!

It looks like somebody thinks she has an affinity for golf . . .

We can't wait til she is big enough to hit the links with us! Kent and I are so lucky and so grateful to have wonderful parents who take such good care of our little girl, which allows us to get away and know that she is in good hands.

Thanks for all your help Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, and Poppie!

Green Thumb?!

This little cutie pie is pleased to announce that

her mommy grew her very first tomato!

Yes, this is small beans to many of you out there,

but it is truly my very first attempt at

growing anything other than a flower.

Thank heavens for Jennika or this never would have

come to pass. When I bought 2 little six packs of

tomato plants, I brought them home, and was preparing

to plant them. I had a pot, I had plants, I was ready!

Fortunately Jennika stopped by, and when I told

her I was going to put all six plants in one pot,

she had a pretty good laugh. So I said, maybe

like half? Three plants per pot?

Hah. Just one?!

Wow, I was a little off. So, I got a couple more pots,

planted three plants, and sent the rest to grow

and thrive in Mike and Jenn's garden.

Well, indeed, she was right, and I have tomatoes!

Maybe next year I will plant some peppers and

some strawberries. And maybe I will

do a bit of research before I get started!
