Man, that was a marathon blog posting job! James is on a bike trip with his work buddy and some other guys so I am getting it all caught up! We have had quite the busy summer already! Carter just learned to ride his bike a few days ago and has been obsessed with riding all day long. We bought him a new bike since his spiderman bike was constantly breaking and was way too heavy for him to learn on. We only had to work with him a few times around and he had it with his new bike. I am so proud of him!
Whenever we are in our backyard we would see this bird with a worm in it's mouth. We decided to keep watching it and figured out it was bringing food to it's babies that were nesting in our tree! Whenever we were outside it would fly to our neighbors roof to keep watch on the babies. They were big and we even got to watch them do some flying lessons. So interesting.
I finally got some flowers planted and the flower bed weeded! My iris that I planted last year has tripled in size and is flowering these beautiful dark purple blossoms.
I also got a Heather plant (for obvious reasons), and some orange lilies. They have already blossomed and are so colorful! I love flowers!
Our strawberries are still growing and we got our vegetable patch weeded-which was a huge job. Since I had Claire last year I did no gardening and just let it get pretty bad. It took forever to get it all weeded! I won't make that mistake again! We planted 5 tomato plants, 2 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, and one green pepper plant. I am so excited to reap the yummy veggies later this summer! So if you have been wondering why it took me so long to update, this is what we have been up to! Busy, busy, busy!!
