A bike ride ~

Daddy helping Alex learn how to ride Levi's tricycle:

Alex's intensity of learning how to ride Levi's tricycle:

Wahoo! Alex on his own!!!

Well, not really...but he sure is trying! What an adventurous boy.

Garden Update ~

Back in June I posted about Duncan's "mini-garden".

I wanted to post a quick pictorial update of the garden today:

The lettuce is doing okay, not great though.
The turnips (which I don't know why we planted them since none of us will eat them) are doing great!

The cucumbers are growing, just not very well:

















The pepper plants are doing well...the broccoli is not.

I will have to get a picture of my mom's garden. It is growing lush and green. She has my zucchini plants, which are doing GREAT!

Well, this year is the "experiment" year. And the summer isn't over yet, so we shall see.

A Gator Ride ~

Levi has been riding on the Gator and the Tractor and the Backhoe with Grandpa for several years now. A simple Gator ride with Mom is just not fun for him anymore.

Well, little Mr. Alex was all too excited to take one with his mommy:

Don't worry, we were parked when I took the picture & I was safely holding onto him while I was driving very slowly around the farm.

I try not to take it personally when Levi doesn't want to be with me...Grandpa and Grandma are more fun.

I just make him follow the rules & behave & eat dinner with the family.

Alex will soon enough be the same way, so I will take his sweet enjoyment of new things while I can.

In the 80s ~

Temperature, not the decade.

I LOVE it when it is warm and sunny...anything over 80 is good for me.

Sunday gave us another fantastic day. We had a ton of fun doing this...

And Alex had fun doing this:

We then ended the day doing this:

I'll take a few more days like this one.
