One bite at a time

Most of the time when I serve my family their food. (Yes, I am the one who does most of the meals around here). I taste the food before I give it to my family. It's just something I've always done. Call me crazy!

Slugs Dyed

The other day I went out in our backyard and saw these things on rocks & our patio. They almost looked like the ground does after you light a snake firework. But, I knew it couldn't be that. Wes said they were slugs. I thought it was so weird how they stained the area they were on just prior to or right after they died. So, I took some pictures to show ya'll.

Anderson Reunion

We just got back from Boise where we went to my mom's side of the family had a reunion. It was so fun! They had a big blow up water slide. I did some front flips and Liz and I did some summer salts down it. The kids had such a fun time. Especially with their cousins and uncle Rick. I love my family. We had some great quality time together!

Our Garden of Eat'n

We started box gardens this year. It was a lot of work! But, it has been worth it. That's one thing I have always wanted to learn how to do, is learn how to grow stuff. We have one with tomatoes and onions, one with carrots, and we just harvested our peas and pulled them out. We put banana peppers and cucumbers in their place. But, the cucumbers aren't doing so well. The tops of our carrots are doing well, but who knows what is down under. Our raspberries are doing well. When we got home from our reunion we had a few red raspberries. Yipee! It's working out. There is nothing like fresh produce.

It may be time to get seperate baskets for our boys!

I like to do our laundry about once a week. I do all of it at a time, so I don't feel like I am always doing laundry. I put the boys clothes in one big rectangle basket. But, I think it may be time to get individual ones for them. If someone were to talk too loud, the laundry would tip. :) It's definitely a balancing act. Wes and I still have this old blue duck taped basket we "borrowed" from mom and dad when we were first married. The duck tape isn't quite holding, so sometimes we get cut on the ripped plastic. There are some things we just refuse to buy new. We just need to buckle down and get a new one.
I remembered when we moved into our condo in Arizona and we got our first washer and dryer. It was sooo nice to not have to go to the coin laundry anymore.
We just got some hand-me-downs from Aunt Sarah's boys. Thank you guys! We love hand-me-downs. They save us so much money. Our kids grow so fast, we feel like we are buying them new clothes often. Our boys were so excited about all the "new" clothes they got from the Fossums. It was cute!
