Happy Birthday Mom, wish u were here...

Well, today is my mother's birthday. It's a bit depressing for me because I miss her. She was so lovely and wonderful. Really, I could tell you how great she was and how I didn't realize how much I truly loved her until I lost her, but then I'd get choked up and start crying (like I've begun to do already...) So I'll leave this simple..

I love you mom! I miss you! Happy Birthday!

"Happy Birthday" from the Campbell's

This video is of The Campbell family singing 'The Birthday Song' to Beau.
He was so excited! He kept saying, "Happy Birthday to Beau." He still sometimes does it.
I just thought it was so cute how thrilled he was about this.

happy 2nd birthday beau!

Our little man is two already! I know I can't believe it.

We had a Cowboy Hoedown this year for Beau and a couple of his pals.

Here we are just before the festivities started.

Matt & I dressed up to add to the cowboy feeling of the party. Yeehaw!

We played some really fun cowboy games...

Left: Lasso practice

Right: Snake Jump

Left: Shootout at the O.K. Corral

Right: Beau decided to give his trusty horse a quick kiss.

All in all I think Beau had a fun time, although the addage of,

"it's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to," definitely came into play.

Daddy even helped him blow out the candles on his horse cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAU! 2 Y.O.!

Beau's 2nd Birthday Party

Garden Update

Apparently we must have done something right for our first year in the garden. We've had an abundance of Romaine and Red leaf lettuces, radishes, zucchinis, (and we've heard the jokes about Mormon's and zucchini,) summer squashes, carrots, and finally our tomatoes are turning red. Our peas came and went, and our radishes are burning out too. It's been a wonderful harvest so far!


I took the picture below to show the size of 1 of 4 zucchini's we picked. We hadn't been out to the garden for about 3 days, and this is what we found. My hand is 6.5-7 inches long and 3 inches wide. Yep, the zucchini, it's big.

I snuck in a pic of our first reddening tomato. We've been waiting patiently and now we're reaping the rewards. Just yesterday we picked 6 tomatoes. YUMMY!

We weren't dressed up as farmers just to pick veggies from the garden. Actually, we were dressed up for Beau's birthday party (refer to above). Can you tell how happy we are to have free food in our backyard?
