One of our first pickings from our garden.... oh and plums from our tree.....they were really good! Rob already canned pickles, he has done whole ones and sliced ones....they are really good and they aren't even ready. Supposed to wait a couple weeks, but we had a jar that didn't seal and we couldn't resist just tasting it. :)
Yesterdays picking... we are gonna overflow with squash and cucumbers....tomatoes are close... :) then we will have oodles of them too. Rob has given some away and we still have more than enough to eat.

We tried leaf lettuce this year, the one we tried last year was okay, but a little bitter...this is good so far and its still kinda small, but you just pick a few leaves and wash and eat on your sandwhich. Chris really liked it! :)

I am standing in the garden to show how tall our cucumbers are... Rob has done an excelent job this year.... we are learning and getting better...if it just wouldn't get so blumming HOT!


This is Rob standing in the garden and next to our fig tree...which is loaded....we should get lots of figs soon! :)


Guess it seems like this is all about Rob and the garden.... and I guess it was! ha... well, its all I will do till after surgery. Just not enough time to post Steve and Emily's trip here. So, stay tuned and I will get it posted when I can sit up long enough to care! :)

So....this is the day of Jose's bachelor party..... they guys did lots of things, but one of them was to come to MY house... :) and swim. I should feel very lucky...because these guys can't be around women at all this day...boys day only.....
It definetely took me back in time.....to when I got very little rest and prayed all the time for these guys! :)


They came inside for a just a bit and looked at some video clips of "FUN" things they have been doing while here..... :)


Its kind funny cause, its good STILL to know where they are and just WHAT they are doing next! :) So, I still got to be mommy even though they didnt realize it. :)


This was at the reception for Kammie and Jose....


I think my kids are the only dancers....very few people....maybe just them and the family danced!


This is the Herrera boys and their wives.......... :)


LeMarc, Adam & Alicia at reception.....



Had to get a picture with my other Utah son's before leaving...... Miss those guys....and want to hug on their little ones if they will bring them next time! :)



Shane was talking to Kristy, she was kinda by herself at this place with Older people...ha... so it was nice of him to sit by her a minute and ask her questions and stuff..... :)




Totally out of order....but a few pictures of the guys at the house before the reception... second night the guys all got here.


They showed us their trip to the DONKEY farm..... and the donkeys were cute! :)


I am glad I get more sleep these days..... these guys had fun, but I can't bare to watch anymore. :)



This was the second day the boys got here too.....a lady hit Kristy from behind. She was on her way to Michelle's and right in front of the library, BAM..... everyone was stopped and turning but this lady.



You can see there was such minor damage to the truck that you cant really see any at all...... this is why we keep her in the BIG TRUCK! :) I think she is glad now. :) She understands! :)

An ADAM egg...... An ALICIA egg... :)

This one made me a bit sad to post...but then I thought...NO, we are proud of our little grandbaby and will see her again....I am not sad about that at all! We love her and will remember her. I guess it could of been a "him," But Michelle made a baby girl on her egg, so we will go with a girl. :)

This was GOOSE , upside down.... ha..Adam and Alicia say this to each other all the time. They are cute ! :) I think Alicia made this for her hunny. Her Goose! :)

Tray full of eggs..... not sure whose is whose on here....but I know they will know when they see them. :)

This one is definetly " I Love Alicia" :)


That may be Adams egg....cant remember...seems like he did a stipped one. :) all of them were creative and good! :)



I guess I am posting backwards again.... they are NOW decorating... ha...



They all had alot of fun.... I was tired, and would of put it off...... but Chris said we are doing the eggs! So we did the eggs. ha... :)



aww.... multi-colored.... just like I thought . :)


they took great care they were careful and did each one different.


It was fun for me to just watch them as they used their ideas and creativity on these things.



Looks like Alicia helping nea with one.... :)

Oh, goodness....looks like Nea needed help...what happened to this egg Nea? :) ha!


Still doing eggs.......

Chris....not sure what was funny to you, but Ken isn't as amused. :)










Some of us had time to just Pose.....

Yet a third set of posers....must be nice... :)










Counting to see if everyone got the right number of eggs. You could only get 44 each....so we all want to be careful to not be cheated. ha.... :)








Jessie and Kristy decided not to hunt this year...but they are still out being helpful...well, with their hands in the air and in their pockets... I am sure they were just finishing up something good. :)

Wow...time for another pose.... some of us are busy...... :) then again, it is tough to stop and smile like that when you have been watching kids hunt eggs. How draining. ha!
