The Kid's Garden

when we were planting flowers in our flower bed the kids got a hold of my zucchinni seeds that I wanted to plant in the backyard and planted them in the flower bed! every time I came out to water it I noticed some leaves coming out of the dirt that didn't look like weeds so I left them. As time went on my MIL came over and said, "oh you're growing zucchinnies!" At first I was like WTH? but then it all made sense. I could not find those seeds for the longest and I finally knew what happened to them! the kids got a hold of them! So after asking them both about the seeds, Bubbs finally confessed and said, " I didn't know they would grow!" LMAO! its ok though, we have fresh veggies and its just growing and growing.

besides the zukes we also have tomatoes, chilies and pumpkins growing! can't wait to see a ball come out of that plant.



Also, we baptized our nephew miguel and here's a pic.


And we've been working on the bathroom and here's an in progress pic, all we need now is the tile, everything else is done.

Summer Update

We've been home this whole time just working on workbooks and projects for the kids. We haven't really gone anywhere but since my last post I've lost about 15lbs. I'm doing it at a slow pace cause I don't want to set myself up. I'm still enjoying the foods I love and pigging out here and there but I make sure to get back on track. I really want to lose 25 lbs. more before xmas. To finally take our christmas portrait! I keep saying that every year and never get to cause I don't want a fat picture but I can't do that anymore, I need our family portrait.

Naty is still working at my old school and working on the inside of the house. He tore out the whole bathroom and just re-did the pipes, all new copper pipes now. We also bought our jacuzzi tub that goes in next. As soon as he puts in the toilet, sink and tub we'll be able to buy our tile! that will be fun.

Audrey and I go back to school on Aug. 26th and Bubbs goes back on the 25th.

I couldn't wait to be out but now I can't wait to go back. I swear I'm losing my mind in this box of mine, lol.

Let's see, we plan to have our bathroom, walls and kids playhouse done with by xmas. we'll see......hhhmmm
