Twinkle On!

Practice: 390 days

Memorized pages: 31

Lessons: $$$$ (I really don't want to see the total :))

Feeling like she can accomplish anything with a little hard work: PRICELESS!!!



Karli "finally" (as she would say) finished book one of her Suzuki training. She actually finished it at a pretty standard pace. I, of course, am so proud of her. She has moved straight into book two and is moving right along. She is amazing because she actually loves to practice! She is definitely blessed with a love and talent for music. We can't wait to see what she grows into :)

(I apologize for the poor sound quality.)

"Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown. . ."


READY. . .





SET. . .




WAIT!

So, Blaine and I have pretty much planted a garden every year since we've been home owners=9 yrs. I've also canned many things (including peaches :)) and Tyler still says that food just appears at Albertson's!? I must not be doing a very good job at including the kids in the whole garden experience. So I decided to start everything in our garden this year by seed. We've been successful before with starting a few plants from seed, but have never tried the whole garden. We usually go up to Day Farms every year and pick what we didn't plant for our salsa, spaghetti sauce and peaches--Ty used to think that Albertson's would put the food out there in the fields for us--you know, to make it fun! Anyway, we decided to go all out and plant peppers, chilli's, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, corn, zucchini, and beets. So here we are at Family Night starting our garden. They had so much fun---gee I can't wait until we all weed together!!
