For those of you who wonder what it's like to have five boys:

I was sitting at the computer minding my own business when five insane boys came running in without their shirts on and stopped, posed like ninjas. And then started fighting. The beginning was the funniest part and I didn't get it on video.

Spencer

Yesterday was his birthday. It was a quiet one. We had dinner followed by cake and presents. The older two boys weren't here so it was a small celebration. We've never celebrated a birthday without everyone here, but it happened. Hopefully it won't happen again for a few more years to come.





Apparently Spencer thinks he turned 16 instead of six. Crazy kid.

Our Garden

I tried to post this the other day, but the pictures wouldn't upload and I gave up. Hopefully I'll have better luck today.

Brandon built the box while I was on vacation. I planted it on Memorial Day. It's growing very well. We regret not planting more in it. I'm sure it will be better planned next year. Baby steps. I apologize if the pictures of our garden right now aren't very clear. I didn't feel like going outside to take the pictures so I took them from my bedroom window. The close up one is a picture of the blossom on our zucchini plant. I'm so excited.





It's not ALL grass in the middle. We planted some seeds and they're not doing very well so I didn't want to weed it just yet. I've tried to weed around everything else, but it's just really hard right now. Again, next years garden will be much better.
