Green Hands

Yard work with Adelaide's help is always easier.

Anyone seen May's vegetable garden lately?

It reminds me of The Burbs when the trash men come to get the garbage after the neighbors dumped it all over the yard.

The garbage man said, "The question here is garbage. Who picks up this mess?"
A neighbor responded, "Well you're going to pick up this mess, because YOU are a garbage man."

I love that movie.

Appointment Update

Well, first off, I was disappointed. I was thinking for some reason that you can hear the babies heartbeat at 8 weeks. That is true, but it's 8 gestational weeks. Boy, was I off by 1 week and 4 days. So, I go back in on Wednesday next week just for a doppler. Everything else looks good though. So I will check back after next Wednesday.

Ah, Conference

We sneaked away this weekend to May's family's cabin just outside of Heber. We were visited by a little bit of snow but that didn't stop some of the younger crazy girls from getting outside and having a good time.


And the good times inside were courtesy of family, friends, card games, good food, and enough candy to embarrass a whole horde of trick-or-treaters. Hope you had a good weekend too.


Keep your fingers crossed. Monday morning is our first doctor's visit with our teeny tiny!

Pickin' At The Patch

October has rolled in and, besides the emergence of my Dracula voice, so have the pumpkins. Today we went down to Santaquin to Rowley's South Ridge Farm to put our pumpkin picking groove on. We loaded up into a tractor-pulled cart (not full of hay bails due to allergies) and down the bumpy roads we went to find our little orange treasures.


In case you've never been, this is the red barn on the south end of Santaquin next to the freeway. I first experienced their delicious ice creams eleven years ago and hadn't been back since. Shame! But they also sell other things like jams and fudge. Double shame!


When we arrived to the fields we jumped out and started hunting our pumpkins. "Here pumpkin, pumpkin." May found one quick and so did I. Adelaide got her hands on one she could carry, at least a while.


Then we found our fourth little one and it wasn't for Captain. May said he doesn't get one. Something about him being a dog or something like that.

So little baby already has her (I call her a "her" because I accept that I only make the girl kind of humans) first Autumn Harvest.

Happy Fall.
