May 2011

Sunday nap on the couch.  My cute boys.

John has spit bubbles! Too funny


Mallary's first swimming lessons

I'm not even going to bother posting more pictures of Trevan playing soccer.  Most pictures show him not even close to the ball, or you can see all the other players headed in a direction and Trevan is running in a complete different direction.  This year, Trevan also ran against his shadow a lot, or boxed his shadow while running.  He provided a lot of entertainment for the crowd... 

He had just been doing the windmill...  Running while swinging his arms in circular motion... like a windmill.


Hi, my name is Mallary and I like water colors. 

I like to paint my pants, the floor, and myself

My mom made me clean up the mess all by myself. 
I thought birds were eating my strawberries... Then I caught the culprit, a stupid squirrell!  I was so grossed out and mad!!  It was eating green strawberries! 
Squash and Zuchinni are the easiest plants to grow, and I love both!!!  However, I have yet to get any...  Rabbits ate this beautiful squash and all of the others!!  I hate rodents.

Trevan had to write about his weekend, and he wrote "Me and Ben played Candy Stand.com"  We must have visited Ben and Marianne this month. 


You can see how I added that bag to deter animals on top of my strawberries (it was attached to a dowel, it must have collapsed or something here), but it did not deter that stupid squirrell!! This was the SECOND time I caught the squirrell red handed, literally, there is a strawberry in it's hand. 

The thing is we don't even have squirrells in our neighborhood because we don't really have a lot of trees because it is a newer development and all the trees are babies.  I went out side and chased this squirrell off, it's home is way out in the field.  One day I watched it how it comes from the field, on our neighbor's fence to my produce!! It's times like these I wish I had a gun. 

With John's brother and his family for our nephew, Jacob's baptism.

Being a gardener has turned me into an animal HATER!
But I have had some luck with cayenne pepper keeping the rabbits and groundhog away. Don't know about squirrels - ours just dig up the plants, but don't seem to eat anything. Anyway, get a cheap thing of cayenne and sprinkle it all over the plants. Unfortunately, you have to reapply after rain.
