Something to post about...

I have been so terrible about posting on my blog latley! Mainly because nothing extremely exciting has happened where I feel like I need to post about it immediately. So this will just be a random post with all of the little things that have been going on around here. First on the list... our lawn mower died a couple weeks ago which was both good and bad. Good because I never liked that mower anyways ( I couldn't get it started, so I could never mow the lawn unless Jesse was home), and bad because we had to shell out the money for a new mower. But being "thrifty" (or poor, whatever you want to call it) as we are, we ended up buying a used mower off of KSL. We got such a great deal though! The mower was just purchased last September, and was only used about 10 times. So it seems new to us! And I love it!!!!! I told Jesse that he can't mow the lawn all summer because that is my job! It is so easy to start, and is so powerful, and does so much more than our old mower did. And the best part is that we saved enough money buying it used that we were also able to buy a tiller attachment for our weed wacker which saves a lot of time when weeding the garden!!! These new purchases will make our yard work so much easier! Which brings me to our next thing... we planted out garden in the very beginning of May, so that's all done. It is so much fun to watch all of the little plants come up! We planted; tomatoes, peppers, corn, onions (green and white), broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, peas, green beans, lettuce, cucumbers, and cilantro. And then we also have our berry patch with raspberries and strawberries. I can't wait for all the fresh fruit and veggies! And I am going to try to do alot more canning this summer so we'll see how that goes.

And now for a Brynn update! She is getting so big and is growing up so fast! At her last doctors appointment she weighed 19 pounds 6 oz and was 27 1/2 inches long. She still isn't walking yet, but she is a very fast crawler, and climbs and gets into everything! She is still going to the bathroom on the toilet which is AWESOME!! We rarely have to change poopy diapers, and this is really saving us money in that department because we don't go through nearly as many diapers in one day. She is also extremely talkative these days. She does a lot a babbling, and says words like; mama, dada, yes, no, matt, bryce (which is more like byce), and belly. There may be more, that's just all I can think of right now. And she is understanding so many words! She is just so much fun. I have also started watching my nephew Cameron three afternoons a week so Brynn is slowly adjusting to having a baby around the house. She gets really jealous so that can be tricky at times! Well, that's really all that's going on here. I don't want to bore you too much! Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day tomorrow!!
