My Garden

This is just for you Uncle Jack. I hope you like my garden. Its my new hobby and I LOVE it.

This is pumpkin on the left, pineapple in the middle and cantaloupe on the right

This is Columbine flowers just sprouting

This is Sunflowers to hide our ac unit

This you cant see very well but its carrots

This is my tomato plant with lots of tomatoes

This is radishes and beets on the left and squash and zucchini on the right

This is peas on the left and green beans on the right

these all have a cool story. The maple tree on the far left is from seed (I think. We inherited it) Then next to that is an avocado tree from an avocado. Then you can barley see it but next to the avocado in the middle is a lemon tree from a lemon seed from a lemon we bought in the grocery store. Then next to him is some Ivy. Then the tree on the left is an Oak tree. Jamie pulled this out of the ground one day thinking that it was a week and it was an acorn with 1 root so we planted him and look at him now. Then we have 2 "Hawaiian trees" in the front.

I found a picture of the acorn....
Some herbs. Chives, oregano, thyme, basil and a watermelon seedling.

My herb garden...

This is lettuce on the left then cabbage then broccoli and then cauliflower and then cucumber on the left. Now my broccoli and lettuce look funny because I am letting them flower so that I can get some seeds for next year.

Some Madalyn Pics

We just went to the doctor and Madalyn is 16 pounds!!!! But I guess its about average, she falls in the 50-75% range. What makes her look like such a big baby is she is tall. She is 26.75 inches and in the 95% range! Go Madalyn!


She always sleeps like this..

She is now sticking everything in her mouth

This is a baby guitar we got in Nashville and we were giving her lessons so that we can all be rich some day.

I'm a big kid now... sleeping in her own bed. And mom and dad are loving it! She wakes up when Jamie goes to work and comes into our room and sleeps with me ;)

A turning point

I have to type fast because it is almost time for Madalyn to wake up from her nap and it is impossible to blog with her awake:)
But I had one of those awe ha moments the other day. I was doing a bible study and in that study the author challenged me to write down my top three fears in life. As I sat there for almost 20 minutes I realized that my number one fear is that God doesn't exist. My other two was not being good enough for my husband and something happening to Madalyn. So, after I wrote them down I started talking to God. Here's how it went down... "God if you don't exist I hate you. Your a liar, and a good one that, and the most despicable man to walk this planet earth, and I look really stupid right now because I am talking to my self. But if you do exist .... Eternity ?! But.... what if I do it... trust you and your not there when I die?" Then God said " Well I guess you would never know it. But what if I do exist and you never trusted me? " I thought on that for a while and realized that when I try to do things on my own its allot harder and I am sure most people would agree that I was not as happy as I am now that I started hanging out with God. So, I asked myself why not? Lets say "even if God doesn't exist" why not live like He does? I am much happier and what if Eternity is real, then what?
