I just started growing my own tomato plants this summer and I have some actually growing! I am so excited, my goal is to have a full garden by next summer. I am going to build some planter boxes and get some good soil and grow zucchini, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe some strawberries.

4th of July

We attended our annual neighborhood parade this year around the block, Eli and Ella both decorated their stroller and bike just for the day. Elijah ended up not riding his bike so Chris and I took turns carrying it, I will be very happy when he learns how to pedal a bike.We sat in the fire truck too at the end of the parade but the camera decided not to work when Chris tried to take the picture, so you will just have to take my word for it.
