the garden

This year I really wanted to plant a garden, so on Saturday we spent the day doing lots of yard work getting ready to plant the garden. There is a planter on our patio that use to have flowers and plants in it, but over the years they've died and been ripped out, so we decided to use this area for the garden. Jason and I spent all day weeding that dang planter. There were so many weeds it was crazy! Now it looks beautiful and garden worthy. Jason's going to bring home some awesome fertilizer to make the soil even better. Let's just hope I can take better care of the food then the flowers. I have all the seeds to get started so I just need to get them planted and pray that they start growing. I went to this awesome seed store with some ladies in my ward. They had all kinds of seeds and I guess they're all really fresh and great to start your garden with. I'm really hoping that everything will go well. I'll just have to wait and see. But I'm very excited to have a garden!

I think it'll be a great little spot for my first garden.
The kids had a great time playing outside all day and riding on their jeep. Of course they had a hard time sharing it.
I love this picture because Dax wouldn't move and Logan was getting mad at him. You can see his arm swinging back ready to hit Dax and he sure did.

it looks great guys! It will be so fun for you guys to have your own garden, we had a big one at my dad's old office when we were growing up and we grew corn and pumpkins and all kinds of stuff, it was really fun to watch it all grow!
