HA HA!

Getting into bed-
Jude- Can I sleep in your bed?
Mommy- No
Jude- I going to lay down in your bed.
Mommy- No
Daddy- C'mon Ash, he'll probably lay down for awhile and then go get in his bed
Mommy- I don't feel good, I'm tired and we have a TINY bed (Coen co-sleeps w/us in a Full size bed)
Daddy- Jude you can lay with us for a little bit
Jude- HA HA Mommy, Daddy says I can sleep in your bed. HA HA I sleep in your bed.
Daddy- Jude, don't rub it in Mommy's face
Jude- HA HA Mommy, I rub it in your face. (crawls over to me and starts rubbing my face) HA HA, I rub your face. I rubbin' your face.

Needless to stay he lasted about 30 min in our bed and then got in his and passed out. He is a cutie.

Update!

Ok, so here is my promised update-
the day before school got out we left for Seattle. Jarrod had a seminar and since we aren't really doing anything this summer I thought it would be fun for us to all go and spend the day before the seminar sight seeing. We drove up Thurs. after school and made it by 9pm. We went out to dinner and then to the hotel. On Friday we rode the ferry over to Port Angeles and then made our way to a couple of hikes in Olympic National Park via Forks and La Push. We did the Moment in Time hike by Lake Crescent

Then, we made our way to Forks and La Push. We ate lunch in Forks at Pacific Pizza. You should definitely eat there if you get a chance. It was super yummy! I shopped a little and then we went to La Push. The sea stacks were awesome! We definitley want to hit a few of the beaches next time we go. This time we passed b/c we didn't quite have enough time, but definitely next time.

After that we did the Hall of Mosses Trail in the Hoh Rain Forest it was absolutely gorgeous. I still can't get over how green everything was and how clear the water was everywhere. Olympic National Park was great.

On Saturday Jarrod had his seminar, so we hung out at the hotel and then went to Claim Jumper's for dinner. It was delicious and I finally got to try the Eclair for dessert. It was greatness! The thing was the size of a football and even with 6 of us eating it we couldn't finish it. We left Sunday morning and made it home in great time. On our way out we drove by the fish market and we even got to stop at a Sonic (yay!).

Father's Day- We made homemade doughnuts for breakfast and gave Jarrod his gifts and for dinner we had Five Guys.

Coen also started eating baby food. I make his baby food and so far he absolutely loves it. He is also crawling like crazy (no more military crawl) and sitting up. He has started pulling up on things lower to the ground (the bottom stair and the back of his bouncy seat).

For the 4th Jarrod made homemade biscuits and I made a blueberry pie. We had hot dogs for dinner and then we headed over to the mall to watch the fireworks. Jarrod had monday off, so we turned our garage into a movie theater, had popcorn and watched one of our family faves -RV.

Oh, here's a pic of my Bday peach cobbler. Yummy Yummy!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, today is my 29th Birthday and my gift to you is (drumroll please).......

Garden Update

We have now planted everything in our garden. (Yay!) We started most everything from seed except for a couple of jalapeno plants, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, a few storage onions and one cucumber. I am going to try and update as things grow, so we can have a good review of what we planted this year, so we'll know what worked and didn't work for next year. Here's what we've planted:
Row 4-parsley, basil, onion and jalapeno

Row 3- Pickling cucumber, okra, pole beans, jack pot zucchini, patty pan squash, chocolate peppermint and chocolate spearmint

Row 2- Pumpkin and Potatoes

Row 1- Tomatoes (roma, big beef, early girl and sweet 100) and Lettuce

Everything is looking good so far (fingers crossed), so hopefully we'll have a good harvest and I'll be able to can like crazy. My plans are to can the pumpkin, tomatoes and anything else I can think of. We will also definitely be pickling the cucumbers and okra (so yummy!). We are very excited and can't wait for our harvest!

This week at the garden:
