This is too funny!

One of my friends on Facebook posted this this morning. So funny, but all of my kids have said similar funny things, esp Oakley, she's Queen of these kind of remarks. I think that these are part of the reward of having kids.

Stacie- I let my daughter do my makeup and she said,"I need to cover up these cracks on your eyes."

I said, "Yep, that's what happens when you get older. Your face starts crackin' up."

She said, "Whoa, then you must be really old." What a stinker :)!

I knew Stacie a bit when our husbands were in school together and she was the epitome of young and beautiful, so that makes it even a bit more funny. I doubt she has very many "cracks".

Garden Pictures

Here is our garden about a month ago, yes, I'm really on top of things and post them right as they happen. We've been a bit busy the last month. These pictures are mostly of our garden, so if you don't want to see, just skip this.

Here Izi is again with her favorite chickens. In the background is our Eglu chicken coop. It is SO awesome!! I love it! It's really easy to clean, move around and the chickens like it too. We're all happy with it.

Here is a close up of our tomato plant. It's just one, but it's grown huge! I can't get it to stay up, even with a cage and two stakes. Down from it is some Swiss Chard that goes all the way across the box. And of course the corn. To the left of the tomato plant we have a little cherry tomato.

Zucchini. Above it are sugar snap peas and below are some carrots. To the right are the potatoes.

These are out potatoes. To the left you can see the zucchini leaves. Above it, cucumbers. Below the potatoes more swiss chard and pumpkins.

Pumpkins.

Here is a top view of the cucumbers, peas and potatoes.

Starting at the top of the picture is corn, then basil, swiss chard and two pumpkin plants. The girls came home from school with them. To the right of the basil are the tomoatos.

We planted two kinds of corn, the regular yellow and this red version. The yellow tastes better to me and this lost some color when we boiled it. But it looks cool and I can probably dry some for decorations this fall.

Our first potatoes, Yukon gold (they were YUMMY!) and a few tomatoes. Scott is the only one who eats them and with the one plant doing so well, he is a little behind on eating them.

Bryce half and more of the chickens

OK, something weird is going on with the blog post thing. My pictures in the "preview" are all in the computer lingo and I can't tell where one starts and one ends so I'll just give a summery here.
The first picture is Scott and me before the Bryce Canyon 1/2 marathon. We know the guy who drives this UPS truck, he's in our ward and his wife runs, a lot. The next picture is one Scott took while running, thus why it's blurry. But it does show a bit of the beautiful scenery we ran in. This was a REALLLLLY fun race! It was so pretty and downhill. I ran a 2:09, taking 21 minutes off my previous half and this was Scott's first, he wanted a sub 2 hour and made it in 1:59! Pretty good considering he didn't train very much.

The next few pictures are of Izi and the chickens. She L O V E S them! She'll hold them for hours. Lilly, the black and white is her favorite, followed by Nina, the one in the last picture. She's great at catching them and giving them tons of love. They are really fun to have around the yard and even more fun to watch!
