Activity Day - Planting

Dear Journal~

For Activity Days, Sister Robinson & I helped our girls learn how to plant seeds...


We used these cool little green house growers....you put in water, open the tops of each dirt filled bag, and push the seeds down in side.


This is my assistant Brennan show us how small the seeds for some of the herbs we are planing are!


Once things are planted we covered our seed bags with mulch to protect & placed the cover back on!


A week later we have all kinds of sprouts shooting up!

This was so much fun!

I love the miracle of growing things!

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!

Dear Journal~

The other day I had a few extra dollars that I was suppose to go clothes shopping with, but after about an hour of nothing fitting quite right I gave up!

On the way home I saw the Star Nursery Sign, (a local garden store) and decided I would rather my front porch be covered in flowers to bring me happiness rather then a new outfit.

So, I purchased a few plants, found a couple of super cute bird houses, arranged things on the front porch and ta-da!

A cute welcome front porch!

Honestly I can't help but smile every morning as I water these little beauties!

What can I say....I love flowers!

Love Shondell

P.S.
You should probably also know I love bird houses too!

Boys & Bikes!

Dear Journal~

There has always been a love of bikes at our house...and with empty building lots close by, it is the perfect setting for boys, bikes and jumps. Here is a jump the boys helped to build but then decided it was a little to large to be safe! Thank goodness for that underlining caution that has caught on due to numerous crashes. However, it didn't stop the boys good friend Nicholas Putnum from jumping over his brother Tyson!

Here's Bren showing me a couple of his riding skills...

This is Levi, with his primary friend Chaz Holbrook...


I'm so very grateful for you talenteted boys!

Love
Mom
