Happy Memorial Day

We went to a picnic at the church for Memorial Day. It was a "bring your own meat" thing so we brought our grill for everyone to share. I forgot to bring the camera. Gracie didn't really like sitting on the grass and got a little bit of sun on top of her head.... The kids were all running around playing and Chloe was on a bouncing ball toy and we heard her crying, there was a little boy next to her with a bat and so we thought maybe he hit her with it. It turns out that he had bit her! and drawn blood with a big bruise. poor thing. It was right on her back. His parents said that was the first time he ever bit anyone...
Brandon went golfing this morning with the Elders quorum, and Gracie and I slept in til 8. ;o)
after the picninc we all came home and took a nap. We are thinking of going to Pirates of the Carribean...

bubbles bubbles everywhere!

we went to an ice cream social at the elementary school and they had a raffle there. we bought 40 tickets for 10 dollars and won 4 things. we won a doodle bear, dora jump rope, bulls-eye ball(game), and a bubble machine. The kids loved the bubble machine. it is pretty cool. it does 4000 bubbles a minute. Gracie wasn't sure what to think of it all, or maybe she wasn't sure of sitting on the ground...

That is all the excitment we've had in a while.. haha.

Here's Gracie eating a biter biscuit. I just love messy face pictures! I know some people don't, sorry. ;o)

I am trying to figure out this blogging thing....

We are so excited that spring has finally arrived! The winters seem to go on forever in Upstate New York. We got our garden planted on Saturday. we planted corn, peas, beans, carrots, radishes, pumpkins, zuchini, and cucumbers. We haven't got the tomato plants yet- and that is the one thing I really care about!!! I am greedy and happy that Brandon and Shad hate tomatoes!! I just have Chloe to fight for them now!! We'll see about Gracie later on I guess...

Hopefully I can figure this out and keep on top of it now!
