Gardening time!

The weather is nice out today and like I said in my previous post, I have been trying to find a spot that I'd like to start my garden. Well, I found it! Right beside the front porch.. Haha. I decided on this spot because there were actually onions already growing there! It was crazy.. I didn't want to hoe the poor suckers up, but they weren't getting the love and care they needed anyway with the grass sucking up all of their water. I did however, leave a few. I want to see how they turn out. Since the onions were already growing there, I felt that it was good enough soil for my jalapeƱo peppers. So as of now I have 10 peppers planted.. I know they say that you should start them indoors and then transplant them once they are a few inches tall.. But I'm fairly behind this season so I figured, what the hell. Hopefully, it all turns out okay. Tomorrow I will plant my squash and tomatoes!

Oh and my hoe broke!! :( sad times.. Haha

UPDATE!!! Finally...



HEY YALL!! I'mmmm baaaack! Did you miss me? Ehh, who am I trying to fool? I was NEVER consistent with this thing! Ready for my excuse? ..... 0k... I don't really have one. :) But as of now, I have working internet, and a device that can upload my thoughts.. cool? cool. Sooooo a lot has happened, obviously. So, instead of sitting here typing for a million years about the little details that have happened over the past year I will fill you in on what is going on now!

Trace, my almost 6 month old (whose birthday was September 14th), is almost crawling!! I mean, he practically is!! He sees somewhere he wants to go, gets into the plank position, curls one knee up underneath his stomach, and zzhhooom! pushes forward.. sometimes face planting into the floor, other times just onto his tummy. Then, he gets back up and does it over, and over again until he has reached his destination...He is soo incredibly strong! Hadley on the other hand, is a bit more experienced.. hahah THIS GIRL CAN RUN!!! And I mean, RUN. back and forth back and forth.. jump up down.. then up.. then down.. runs in a circle. "AH!", screams, then back to running.. haha she is seriously the most athletic child I have ever seen!

As for foods: I'm not sure what I posted last time, but for a while Hadley has been very sensitive to textures of different kinds of foods. It has been fairly difficult to get the girl to eat anything!! OYY VEEEHHH.Trace has barely started on solids.. so far he has tried yellow squash, rice, and refried beans. Yes, refried beans. Hahaha. My husband, Tyler, wasn't too happy that I introduced it to him but the tough ol' boy digested it juuuust fine. haha.

My kiddos have been incredibly great sleepers!! Hadley usually naps around 1:30 and will be down for a couple o hours and she sleeps through the night! Trace takes one nap in the morning and another in the evening.. each lasting around a couple of hours. He goes to bed around 7:30pm and will only wake a couple of times throughout the night to eat! Then, we're up and at it around 7:00am! Ahh.. not toooo bad if I do say so myself.... Which, I do.

Our living arrangements have been quite scattered for a while, but I think things are finally starting to calm down. :) Tyler has been working at a power plant 2 1/2 hours away from home and had been staying in an RV.. That wasn't working out toooo well for me, the kids, and the dog when we would come to visit.. soo we decided it would be best to rent a home month to month. Today was our first day here at the rental house, and I have been loving it! will update more on that later.

Okay.. gotta get dinner going! For now I will leave you with a few pictures!
XOXO
